About this game

The most realistic aircraft. The world at your fingertips. It’s not a game, it’s a flight simulator.

▶ "Highly recommended." — Mel Martin, Engadget ◀
▶ Over 1 million downloads! ◀

Come experience why real pilots fly X-Plane.

It starts with the flight model—the same flight model used in our FAA-certified desktop simulator—that’s complete enough to model the flex in your wings & the tilt in your landing gear.

Add to that our desktop-quality aircraft with multiple liveries and interactive 3-D cockpits—so detailed you can do a full startup procedure using the hundreds of buttons, knobs, & switches in the cockpit. With working gauges, flight displays, & more, these cockpits are as realistic as those in our full desktop sim.

But aircraft are no good without a place to fly them. That's why each of our free regions features detailed terrain, lifelike city buildings, & 3-D airports—complete with terminal buildings, jetways, hangars, & more.

Ratings and reviews

Something needs to be fixed. I cant even play the game. It freezes on the loading screen and doesn't continue loading. I will give 2 stars though. Obviously I can't play it. But from comments I've seen, the game seems so good. It has a decent overall reveiw, includes good graphics with buttons that work, all aircraft sounds, and 3D terrain. Although, from a certain comment I heard there were only two planes for free. TWO PLANES!? Really? We need more free planes!!! And fix the freezing now!!!

Recently, the game started freezing from even the most simple movement. Sometimes I can take off and fly for a little while but it's a little random when the problem occurs during flight. Today, I couldn't even zoom in on the main panel to turn on the battery while the plane was parked. The game freezes completely and has to be closed. Its unusable at this point. Will gladly raise rating to 5 stars if the problem is resolved. This game was great before the problem began.

This game is absolutely incredible. I love the selection of aircraft(although having more wouldnt hurt), the graphics are amazing, I love that it's interactive. The reason I removed 1 star is because I would like it to be cross-platform. I have an android phone, and also an iPad, and I'd like to play on both without having to pay twice. Phone for portability and iPad for easier control and overall better performance. If you could add an account thing, thay would make this game a 10/10.
