About X-Plane 12
X-Plane 12 is a flight simulator built around real-world physics, detailed aircraft systems and a simulation of the world. You fly in changing weather and lighting, with scenery that includes cities, landscapes and more than 20,000 3D airports sourced from the X-Plane Gateway.
Weather and lighting
Volumetric clouds create skies that change with the weather, while live weather updates conditions in real time using global meteorological data. A photometric lighting model renders surfaces with real light intensities across different times of day and weather conditions, with bloom effects also affecting the visuals.
Scenery
The scenery features 3D trees that sway in the wind, 3D water that responds to weather, and updated autogen for cities and landscapes. Airports have fresh textures, moving boats and community-driven enhancements from the X-Plane Gateway.
