Because X-Plane predicts the performance and handling of almost any aircraft, it is a great tool for pilots to keep up their currency in a simulator that flies like the real plane, for engineers to predict how a new airplane will fly, and for aviation enthusiasts to explore the world of aircraft flight dynamics. X-Plane is not a game, but an engineering tool that can be used to predict the flying qualities of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft with incredible accuracy. X-Plane is required software to run the Gleim X-Plane Flight Training Course. The simulator can now be controlled much more intuitively thanks to this well thought-out menu structure.Ĭonsidering all this, X-Plane 11 is the most modern flight simulator – still a simulation, but closer to reality than ever before! X-Plane 11 is an exciting simulator for the true pilot and aspiring pilots everywhere! In the completely redesigned user interface, the control setup, aircraft, airports and weather options are now presented with a visual preview which makes editing them a breeze. The global scenery sees new cities specific to Europe and North America and an update to its overall layout based on recent Open Street Map material. Numerous new aircraft with 3D cockpits and extensive documentation are available to the virtual pilot add to that more than 3,000 airports with 3D buildings, static aircraft and dynamic environments. The content of X-Plane 11 is also considerably expanded. The sound engine is fully usable and extendable by third-party add-ons. This works on a global scale resulting in spatially correct audio placement of any aircraft and any object within the scenery while also taking the current location of the user into account. Furthermore, X-Plane 11 features a brand new sound engine that realizes 3D surround sound with high quality samples.

It was also developed with very good performance in mind. This technique works dynamically which means that graphical effects no longer have to be prerendered. Due to “Physically Based Rendering”, illumination and reflections behave in physically correct ways and change depending on viewing angle and the object’s surface.

A new rendering engine makes the whole world appear in a new light – literally. The 11th edition of X-Plane offers a much more realistic and immersive experience.
