Find out for yourself why real-world pilots train with X-Plane.

It all begins with our flight model—the very same one used in our FAA-certified desktop simulator—so comprehensive it even simulates wing flex and landing gear tilt.

Combine that with desktop-grade aircraft featuring multiple liveries and interactive 3D cockpits, detailed enough for full startup procedures using the hundreds of buttons, knobs, and switches. With fully operational gauges, flight displays, and more, these cockpits match the realism found in our full desktop simulator.

But aircraft need a world to explore. That's why each free region offers detailed terrain, realistic cityscapes, and 3D airports complete with terminals, jetways, hangars, and more.

Want the full world? Subscribe for global scenery, unlocking access to over 37,000 airports, with more than 11,500 of those featuring full 3D terminals, hangars, and detailed structures.
