About X-Plane 11

Just Updated. X-Plane 11.51 update is now available. The update contains bug fixes and includes more custom airports. See the detailed list of new items here: . Buzz. Laminar Research releases X-Plane 11.50 final Laminar Research, creator of the X-Plane flight simulator franchise, is proud to announce the final Vulkan/Metal update of X-Plane 11. After many months of converting our graphics engine and beta testing, we are today announcing the final release of version 11.50 for the X-Plane desktop platform. Vulkan (PC) and Metal (Mac) are rendering level APIs that change how X-Plane interacts with the graphics card. They are faster than OpenGL that X-Plane has used in the past. Overall, most users will see improved frame rates and reduced stutters when using Vulkan or Metal. In X-Plane 11.50, there is a check-box in the graphics settings that enables Vulkan or Metal, and a restart of X-Plane is necessary for the change to take effect. If for some reason a user can’t use Vulkan or Metal, OpenGL is still available by simply unchecking the box. Numerous bug fixes, enhancements, and new airports are also included in this release..

Worth every hour

As a private pilot with over 1,000 hours in different single-engine airplanes, flying in X-Plane 11 feels more real to me than anything Microsoft has produced to date, including MSFS 2020. Everything, from the authenticity of the airport environments to the way the planes respond in flight, just feels right. If eye candy is what you're after, MSFS 2020 is probably what you want. If, however, you are a pilot or student pilot looking for a great desktop sim that delivers more than just entertainment value, this is it.

I'll just make this short :

I'll just make this short : X-Plane 11 is the main reason why i'm now training as a professional pilot after completing my PPL last year. I've always been in love with flight simulations, but XPLANE 11 not only delivers graphic-wise but also is extremely realistic in terms of flight physics. Recreating maneuvers my flight instructor taught me about again and again on XPlane helped tremendously, especially touch and go's and approaches. I can't thank this software enough for what it brought me.
