X-Plane 12 is the latest version of the flight simulator series for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.

In this simulation, there is an entire world waiting to be discovered.

Due to its open structure, all users and enthusiasts can modify every part of it and customize it to their preferences.

In X-Plane 12, every major area of how Laminar Research simulates the world and its effects on aviation has been rewritten based on first principles of physics and real-world data, with an unrelenting pursuit of realism.

• Photometric lighting engine
• Brightness, intensity, dispersion, and more, all calculated in real-time using the laws of physics.
• Exceptional global water rendering, with wave height control and interaction with floating objects based on feedback from expert pilots.
• The color of trees and foliage coverage vary to show the season when snow accumulates!
• Beautiful, geographically aware colored waters.
• A vast variety of 3D trees with different species, sizes, and seasonal effects. They even sway in the wind.
• The whole world now comes to life with FMOD sounds, with birds in the forest, cars in cities, and of course, ground service vehicles.
