Product information "X-Plane 12"

X-Plane 12 is the latest version in the flight simulator series for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. In this simulator, there is a whole world to discover. Thanks to its open structure, all users and enthusiasts can change every single part of it and adapt it to their preferences.

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

WORLD

  • Photometric Lighting Engine
    Light brightness, intensity, spread, and more – all computed in real time with the laws of physics.
  • 3D Water
    Gorgeous global water rendering, complete with wave height controls and floatplane interaction based on feedback from expert pilots.
  • Seasonal Effects
    Tree colour and leaf coverage vary to show season – snow accumulates, too!
  • Tropical Water Colors
    Gorgeous, geographically-aware water colours.
  • 3D Forests and Vegetation
    Large variety of 3D trees with variation of species, size, and seasonal effects. They even sway in the wind.
  • Ambient Sounds
    The entire world now comes to life with FMOD sound – birds in the forest, cars in the cities and of course, ground service vehicles.

AIRPORTS
X-Plane 12 includes detailed 3-D scenery for more than 17,000 airports around the world – all with new ground textures, towers and pavement effects to enhance realism.

  • Tower Kit
    Custom suite of endless control tower variation, easy to use for maximal realism.
  • Animated Jetways
    Jetways move to meet your aircraft when parked at the gate.
  • Localized ATC Procedures/Voices
    Air Traffic Control follow regional procedures and accents around the world.
  • Pavement Effects
    Airport artists can choose from a library of pavement effects to perfectly capture the look-and-feel of airports by setting level of cracking, oil spills, pavement material, and more.

WEATHER

  • Volumetric 3D Clouds
    Immersive clouds to fully capture the sensation of flight.
  • Real Weather
    Proprietary algorithms to turn data from the real world into X-Plane weather.
  • Wake Turbulence
    Powerful streams of upset air left in the atmosphere by other aircraft – just like real life.
  • Microbursts
    Small, powerful downdrafts – perfectly modelled with pilot training in mind.
  • Thermals
    Terrain-generated updrafts that allow gilders to gain altitude without a tow plane.
  • Snow, Rain and Ice Accumulation
    Precipitation now accumulates on surfaces, freezing or thawing based on temperature.

Minimum system requirements:

  • Disk Space: 25 GB
  • CPU: Intel Core i3, i5, i7, or i9 CPU with 4 or more cores | AMD Ryzen 3, 5, 7 or 9 (Those with other CPUs should try the demo before purchasing)
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Video Card: Vulkan 1.3-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 2 GB VRAM
  • Note: Intel GPUs are not supported by X-Plane 12

Recommended system requirements:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K | Ryzen 5 3500 or better | Apple Silicon
  • Memory: 16-24 GB RAM or more
  • Video Card: DirectX 12-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 4-8 GB VRAM (GeForce RTX 2070 or better, or similar from AMD)

Supported video cards:

  • NVIDIA: Nvidia 900 series Desktop GPU or newer, or GeForce 965M, 970M, 980M and 980MX or newer (Second generation Maxwell or newer); driver version 510 or newer
  • AMD: AMD Radeon RX 500 or newer, driver version Adrenaline 22.2.1 or newer
  • Apple Silicon

Supported operating systems:

  • macOS: macOS 10.15 or newer (e.g. Catalina, Big Sur, or Monterey)
  • Windows: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
  • Linux: Varies
    • If you want to run on Linux, you will need to try X-Plane on your distribution to see if it is compatible. We have developers using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and newer successfully, however we don’t provide support for specific distributions.
    • We require the proprietary driver from NVIDIA to run X-Plane. We require the Mesa drivers, version 22.0 or newer, for AMD to run X-Plane.

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.
