X-Plane 11 invites players to become airline pilots, becoming familiar with all the intricacies and complexities of this extremely responsible job. Realistic dashboards, many buttons and dials, autopilot control, engine control, flaps, radio communications and many other functions – all this is to be mastered and explored. And then the game gives you the opportunity to feel what it's like to actually fly a plane.

The most important additions to X-Plane 11:

• Updated fleet: models that require careful examination, from geared trucks to rivets;
• Each aircraft in the fleet has a 3D cockpit;
• New user interface;
• Tutorials to teach you the basics of flight, navigation, and more;
• Improved 3D cockpit interaction: Controls are easier than ever;
• Tugs and fuel tankers designed to service aircraft;
• New landscapes of Europe: roads and buildings now have the appearance typical of the Old World.

In addition, this simulator allows you to “feel” the vehicle's exposure to crosswinds, and the engine characteristics take into account details such as altitude and environment. Between flights, you can watch as the maintenance system prepares the plane to return to the skies. Planes bounce in turbulence, stall if gamers don't maintain the right speed, and rapidly burn fuel if they reach the wrong cruising altitude. Disaster is always just one misstep away – that's the reality of flying – but when all goes according to plan, you can gracefully fly through the skies to your heart's content and even do somersaults and loops in a light sport aircraft or fly on a Boeing 747 on a commercial flight from Paris to New York.
