This isn't just a game—it's a true flight simulator. Experience for yourself why actual pilots choose X-Plane.
Fly the world's most realistic aircraft. With the entire globe at your command, it’s not a game; it's *the* flight simulator.

Discover why genuine pilots train and fly with X-Plane.
It all begins with our proprietary flight model—the 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. These cockpits are so detailed you can perform complete startup procedures using hundreds of authentic buttons, knobs, and switches. With operational gauges, flight displays, and more, they match the realism of our full desktop simulation.
But even the best aircraft need a world to explore. That's why each of our *free* regions includes detailed terrain, lifelike cityscapes, and full 3D airports—complete with terminal buildings, jetways, hangars, and more.
Want the full planet? Subscribe to unlock global scenery, gaining access to over 37,000 airports, with more than 11,500 featuring detailed 3D terminals, hangars, and structures.
