Find out for yourself why real aviators choose X-Plane.

It all begins with our proprietary flight model—the very same technology powering our FAA-certified desktop simulator. It's so comprehensive, it simulates wing flex and landing gear tilt.

Combine that with desktop-quality aircraft featuring multiple liveries and fully interactive 3D cockpits. They're so detailed you can perform a complete startup procedure using hundreds of buttons, knobs, and switches. With operational gauges, flight displays, and more, these cockpits match the realism of our full desktop simulation.

But an aircraft needs a world to fly in. That's why every free region includes detailed terrain, realistic cityscapes, and full 3D airports—complete with terminals, jetways, hangars, and more.
