X-Plane 11

X-Plane 11 is a flight simulator in which you take the pilot’s seat and fly aircraft between airports around the world. You can set up and edit flights through a redesigned interface.

Flying involves controlling each aircraft through takeoff, navigation, approaches, and landing while operating cockpit instruments and systems. Aircraft handling responds to aerodynamic forces, weight, trim, and weather conditions.

Flights take place in a worldwide environment with airports, roads, buildings, and ground-service vehicles. You can adjust simulation and graphics settings, and the simulator supports additional aircraft and scenery created by its community.

In the supplied reviews, players often praise the flight physics and the sense of aircraft handling, especially for practicing procedures and landings. Other recurring positives include the worldwide flying environment, community-made aircraft and scenery, and the ability to run the simulator on some older or less powerful computers. Some players criticize the default scenery and limited included aircraft, and others describe a demanding learning curve or difficulty setting up controls.
