Come experience why real pilots fly X-Plane. This app offers a realistic flight simulation experience, using the same flight model as the FAA-certified desktop simulator. The flight model is detailed enough to accurately model the flex in your wings and the tilt in your landing gear.

But it's not just about the flight model. X-Plane also offers desktop-quality aircraft with multiple liveries and interactive 3-D cockpits. These cockpits are so detailed that you can perform a full startup procedure using the hundreds of buttons, knobs, and switches. With working gauges, flight displays, and more, the cockpits are as realistic as those in the full desktop sim.

Of course, what good are aircraft without a place to fly them? That's why X-Plane offers detailed terrain, lifelike city buildings, and 3-D airports in each of its free regions. These airports include terminal buildings, jetways, hangars, and more. And for even more options, you can subscribe to unlock global scenery, giving you access to over 37,000 airports, with more than 11,500 featuring 3D terminals, hangars, and more.

The app also includes 9 free tutorials, teaching the basics of takeoffs and landings, traffic patterns, helicopters, and more. It also offers 2-player internet multiplayer via Game Center, fully interactive cockpits on many aircraft, and more than 50 systems that can be failed on command. You can even experience emergency scenarios and combat missions.

X-Plane offers a variety of aircraft, including the Cessna 172SP, Cirrus Vision SF50, Airbus A320 Airliner, Boeing B737-800 Airliner, and more. And with 5 free scenery regions, including Oahu, Hawaii and the Grand Canyon, there's plenty to explore. For even more options, you can purchase a monthly or yearly subscription for global scenery.

With a Professional subscription, you can also access early access to massive multiplayer, where you can join tens of thousands of other pilots in a single, shared world. You can participate in the Fly-In of the Day to meet up with other pilots or explore the MMO world for chance encounters. And with continuous updates and improvements, X-Plane offers an aviation experience like never before.
