X-Plane

This isn't just a game; it's a true simulator. Discover why real-world pilots choose X-Plane.

Experience the world's most realistic aircraft and explore the entire globe. This is not a game—it's the definitive flight simulation.

Discover for yourself why professional pilots train with X-Plane.

It all begins with our industry-leading flight model—the identical physics engine powering our FAA-certified desktop simulator. It realistically simulates everything from wing flex to the tilt of your landing gear.

Combine that with desktop-quality aircraft featuring multiple liveries and fully interactive 3D cockpits. These cockpits are so detailed you can perform a complete startup procedure using hundreds of authentic buttons, knobs, and switches. With functional gauges, flight displays, and more, they match the realism of our full desktop simulator.

But aircraft need a world to explore. That's why each of our free regions includes detailed terrain, lifelike cityscapes, and true-to-life 3D airports—complete with terminal buildings, jetways, hangars, and more.

Want even more? Subscribe to unlock global scenery, gaining access to over 37,000 airports worldwide, with more than 11,500 featuring detailed 3D terminals, hangars, and structures.
