Superb Airplane Sim

  • By Alex from West Valley City UT USA on Tuesday, May 16, 2017
  • Pros: Realism.
  • Cons: Does not have simulation scenarios or missions.
  • Review: Beautiful scenery. Excellent realism. Superb purchase. Definitely worth buying. It's actually very adjustable as well, so that even more lower end PC's can run it, and with a powerful PC it's incredible, with shadows, reflections, lots of cars on roads, airport utilities moving around, etc. With a gaming laptop I have gotten some incredible performance with high settings and a good frame rate of over 30 fps. The only thing missing is simulation scenarios or missions. Even the iPhone X-Plane game app has that, so I feel it would add a lot of fun and replay value to the PC package game and it seems like something that ought to be added via an update patch.

Great product, great price, received quickly.

  • By A Customer from Memphis IN USA on Thursday, May 24, 2018
  • Pros: Many free aircraft and add-ons available.
  • Cons: None for the price.
  • Review: X-Plane 11 is a great product, and I could not find anything that could beat it for the price. It does everything I need and much, much more!!!

    Don't short yourself or the program by getting a bare minimum game system.

Amazing Sim

  • By Steven from Tampa FL USA on Thursday, January 24, 2019
  • Pros: Zibo 737-800
  • Cons:
  • Review: I moved to Xplane from FSX (used FSX for about 3 years), and Xplane blows it out of the water. Feels and looks very realistic.

    You can download the Zibo Mod 737-800 for FREE, which has a fully capable FMC and VNAV function, and terrific sounds. The Zibo 738 makes IFR flying a delight. It is just as good as a $60 - $70 aircraft add on in my opinion.

    Alot of freeware planes and scenery.

    I am extremely happy with Xplane thus far.

Phenomenal flight simulator with amazing graphics

  • By Kenneth from Columbia SC USA on Monday, August 12, 2019
  • Pros: Amazing graphics, realistic sounds and a low learning curve
  • Cons: truthfully, finding a computer with enough horse power to run every thing with good frame rates.
  • Review: I truly did not know what to expect from X-Plane 11, I had been using another flight sim that to be honest was rather bland but X-Plane opens up a whole new world of experience. The realism in the graphics is astounding and the sounds are incredible. Because of my work I only get to use the sim Friday through Sunday and this has made my weekends very enjoyable. This has been the best money I have ever spent.

Don't judge a book by its cover

  • By BRIAN from El Cajon CA USA on Wednesday, October 18, 2017
  • Pros: Good Resolution and compatibility with VR
  • Cons: there are Switches and buttons that are no active ( Don't work ) NOT GOOD
  • Review: I missed a flight plan section similar to Microsoft FSX or better.
    I personally would have preferred a Airbus A321, instead of the Glider,

X-Plane 11 is a full up flight simulation program!

  • By Rob from Oak Harbor WA USA on Wednesday, December 02, 2020
  • Pros: Powerful physics based flight models with high fidelity avionics - love the Garmin 1000 in the C-172SP
  • Cons: Visuals should be a little more robust around large airports like SEA or SFO, although this could be caused by the limitations of running the simulation on PC hardware
  • Review: I was impressed with the fidelity of the program and the number of aircraft models included. I have flown a few FAA level D flight simulators and a number of GA aircraft for comparisons sake. The program includes a simple " fly by computer mouse" feature that you can use while waiting for your hardware to arrive, but it can be difficult to both fly and interact with the avionics by switching the mouse between functions. The program allows you to select world wide visual coverage, and includes the ability to adjust the level of detail for optimum appearance. I purchased a new HP Omen gaming computer with plenty of RAM and the programs looks great on the two monitors that I use for cockpit and out the window views.

  • Pros: Easy installation from dvd. Great world community support structure.
  • Cons: Takes up too much "honey-do" time.
  • Review: This is an excellent flight simulator. Well worth the price. Installation and upgrading with ease. The ability to use ortho-photographic mapping in the sim is great. Bring on the "Google street view".

  • By Robert L MILLER from Saddlebrooke AZ USA on Tuesday, October 20, 2020
  • Pros: Stability of the software.
  • Cons: Too many options for assignment to buttons on the flight wheel. A lot of these options would never be used. As a result, it is hard to find the more obvious ones that are needed.
  • Review: I would like to have the option of moving practically anything on the instrument panel to a second screen. I think that the old MS FS has this capability and it was very useful. For instance, I need to access the autopilot a lot during instrument flight, and I have to stop pause the program to scan down and see the controls to do that. I am a licensed pilot and this is what I need to do in the airplane.

It is more elaberate that microsoft flight sim X, but great

  • By Robert from Goodview VA USA on Tuesday, May 28, 2019
  • Pros:
  • Cons: no cons at this time
  • Review: It is challenging and I look forward to getting fluent with it. The program tells me that my rendering options are to high, can someone tell me where to find them and fix them by lowering them. I will thank you for that help.

Impressive!!!

  • By Sean from Napa, CA on Thursday, February 22, 2018
  • Pros: Good default scenery
  • Cons: Misplaced objects
  • Review: Has really good default scenery and aircraft. It does have bugs, such as houses in the middle of helipads and trees, utility poles in the middle of the road. Good flight modeling. I love how the airports follow the terrain, as not all runways are completely flat.

X-Plane 11 Needs attention and fixes

  • By James from Fenton MO USA on Thursday, June 15, 2017
  • Pros: Read Review
  • Cons: Read Review
  • Review: Great scenery but lacks in landmarks, like the Gateway arch in St. Louis?? Loved the cloud formation's and sounds of aircraft, auto pilots are lacking won't hold altitudes! Need detailed instructions for each plane with illustrations, Hard to get on website to get help.And to get some updates or fixes. I'm sure I will find more problems, I live in the same town (Fenton, Missouri) as the guy that posts flights on youtube wish I could get some help from him?

Scenery Disappointing

  • By Ausonius from Albuquerque NM USA on Saturday, September 21, 2019
  • Pros: Accurate aircraft performance and detail.
  • Cons: Very basic and unrealistic scenery.
  • Review: The aircraft and flight performance are pretty realistic, but the scenery is very basic in detail and highly inaccurate in portraying population centers, roads, railroads, and natural phenomena (ie. Niagara Falls etc.) which is often the basic navigation methodology for private pilots.
    Given the choice, I would have payed a lot more for the inclusion of real-life scenery (assuming that is even possible).

Disapointed

  • By Ralph from Broad Run VA USA on Wednesday, July 08, 2020
  • Pros: I really like the airplanes avaiable. :-)
  • Cons: Computer freezes after a few minutes of flying especially with jet aircraft.
  • Review: Not impressed with this program compared to MS Flight sim. Not as easy to use as MS Flight sim (which I have been using many versions for over 20 years.) Computer freezes after a few minutes of flying. Computer has 32 Gigs of memory, I-7 CPU at 1.80 GHz 1.99 GHz , 64 Bit system, Windows 10 pro so I don't under stand why it freezes.
