X-Plane 11

Description

The 11th edition of X-Plane offers a much more realistic and immersive experience. A new rendering engine makes the whole world appear in a new light – literally. Due to “Physically Based Rendering”, illumination and reflections behave in physically correct ways and change depending on viewing angle and the object’s surface. This technique works dynamically which means that graphical effects no longer have to be prerendered. It was also developed with very good performance in mind. Furthermore, X-Plane 11 features a brand new sound engine that realizes 3D surround sound with high quality samples. This works on a global scale resulting in spatially correct audio placement of any aircraft and any object within the scenery while also taking the current location of the user into account. The sound engine is fully usable and extendable by third-party add-ons.

The content of X-Plane 11 is also considerably expanded. Numerous new aircraft with 3D cockpits and extensive documentation are available to the virtual pilot; add to that more than 3,000 airports with 3D buildings, static aircraft and dynamic environments. The global scenery sees new cities specific to Europe and North America and an update to its overall layout based on recent Open Street Map material.

In the completely redesigned user interface, the control setup, aircraft, airports and weather options are now presented with a visual preview which makes editing them a breeze. The simulator can now be controlled much more intuitively thanks to this well thought-out menu structure.

X Plane 11 general aviation choices are truly amazing. There is a massive choice of freeware aircraft as well as freeware. Included in x Plane 11 are the Cessna 172Sp as well as the Beech Barron 58 twin engine aircraft, the Beechcraft King Air C90 turbo prop as well as your own personal jet in the Cirrus Vision SF50.

Considering all this, X-Plane 11 is the most modern flight simulator – still a simulation, but closer to reality than ever before! X-Plane 11 is an exciting simulator for the true pilot and aspiring pilots everywhere!

X-Plane is required software to run the Gleim X-Plane Flight Training Course. Purchase the discounted set here.

• RICHER SIMULATIONS - CARIBSKY: TBPB 2020 X-PLANE 11. Great scenery, great FPS and communication show you need support! INFORMATICA AZ - EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON MSFS. I am giving it 4-stars not because of where this aircraft is but because where it can be in the future with continued efforts by the developer. MSFS is lacking many jet.
• And this X-Plane 11 compatible version is complete with extremely well-detailed specifics that make flying in the virtual world as real as can possibly be. Perhaps what makes the C-47 so authentic in every respect is due to Aeroworx’s access to the C-47 planes through the South African Airways Museum Society, of which they are members.
• Just Flight, in partnership with Thranda Design, are proud to present the Avro Vulcan B Mk2, K.2 and MRR for X-Plane 11. The Vulcan B Mk2 is an iconic, four-engine, delta-wing strategic bomber which saw service in the UK during the Cold.
• X-Plane 11 Douglas C-133 Cargomaster 1.0.1 This is Robert Pearson's Cargomaster, converted for X-Plane 11. The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster was a large turboprop cargo aircraft built between 1956 and 1961 by the Douglas Aircraft Company for use with the United States Air Force.

X-Plane 11 - Now Even More Powerful

X-Plane is not a game, but an engineering tool that can be used to predict the flying qualities of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft with incredible accuracy. Because X-Plane predicts the performance and handling of almost any aircraft, it is a great tool for pilots to keep up their currency in a simulator that flies like the real plane, for engineers to predict how a new airplane will fly, and for aviation enthusiasts to explore the world of aircraft flight dynamics.

Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs. X-Plane contains subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, allowing users to predict the flight characteristics of the slowest aircraft or the fastest. X-Plane 11 also includes 9 aircraft in the default installation, spanning the aviation industry and its history. Backgammon for mac. The default fleet has been upgraded for X-Plane 11 to ensure consistent quality and usability. All the aircraft have been lovingly overhauled to have stunning exteriors and completely functional 3D cockpits.

• Cessna 172SP
• Beechcraft Baron 58
• Beechcraft King Air C90
• Cirrus Vision SF50
• Boeing 737-800
• Boeing 747-400
• McDonnell Douglas MD-80
• Schleicher ASK 21
• Sikorsky S-76

Additionally, thousands of aircraft models can be downloaded from the Internet (X-Plane.org, is a good place to start looking), many of which are completely free. If those aren't enough, users can even design their own airplanes and test-fly them!

The full X-Plane scenery package covers the Earth in stunning resolution. On Earth, users can land at any of over 33,000 airports or test their mettle on aircraft carriers, oil rigs, frigates (which pitch and roll with the waves), or helipads atop buildings. You can fly with friends over the Internet or a LAN, and shoot approaches at night in stormy weather and rough conditions with simulated aircraft systems failures. The situations that can be simulated are unbelievably diverse!

X-plane 11 Manual

Weather in X-Plane is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and micro bursts. Rain, snow, and clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are available for the gliders. Actual weather conditions can be downloaded from the Internet, allowing users to fly in the weather that really exists at their current location!

X-Plane has detailed failure modeling, with multitudes of systems that can either be failed manually at an instructor's command, or randomly when users least expect it! Users can fail instruments, engines, flight controls, control cables, antennae, landing gear, or any of dozens of other systems at any moment. They can also have a friend or flight instructor (locally or via the Internet, working from an Instructor's Operating Station) fail components on the aircraft without the pilot's knowledge. The instructor can alter the time of day, weather conditions, and failure status of hundreds of aircraft systems and components. Additionally, the instructor can relocate the aircraft to a location of his or her choice at any time.

Aircraft models are also extremely flexible, allowing users to easily create paint jobs, sounds, and instrument panels to modify any airplane you choose. Custom airplane or helicopter designs can even be created and flown using X-Plane and the included Plane Maker software. X-Plane's accuracy (in flight model), scope (in aircraft and terrain coverage), versatility (in aircraft type and weather conditions), add-on programs (in aircraft and scenery editors), customizability, downloadable aircraft, and downloadable scenery make it the ultimate flight simulation experience.

System Requirements

X-Plane 11 requires, at the minimum,

• CPU: Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 CPU with 2 or more cores, or AMD equivalent. (Dual-core CPUs slower than 3 GHz should try the demo before purchasing.)
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Video Card: a DirectX 11-capable video card from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel with at least 1 GB VRAM
• DVD drive.

If your system is borderline, we encourage you to try the demo first. The full version of the simulator will perform exactly the same as the demo—neither better nor worse.
However, for the best experience, we recommend the following:

• CPU: 3+ GHz, quad-core or higher
• Memory: 16 GB RAM or more
• Video Card: a DirectX 12-capable video card from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel with at least 4 GB VRAM (GeForce GTX 1060 or better or similar from AMD)

More information about supported video cards and operating systems can be found at the X-Plane System Requirements page.

If your system does not meet the minimum requirements, consider purchasing X-Plane 10.

High Performance Hardware Required
