#X plane 12 series

The X-Plane series developed by Laminar Research since 1995 has maintained a solid reputation thanks to exceptionally realistic flight models. While more casual flying games like Ace Combat go for a simple arcade-style approach to aviation, true flight simulators tend to be far more complex and are practically a hobby in themselves. X-Plane 12 is compatible with virtual reality headsets and is geared toward truly recreating the many facets of aviation from interacting with air traffic control through radio operation to dealing with instrument failure and other emergencies.Īmong the earliest types of simulation games, flight simulators have filled an important niche as both a legitimate training method for real-world pilots and as a way for consumers to get as close to the real deal as possible without the financial burden or other risks associated with private aviation. For aviation enthusiasts seeking an authentic flying experience, the upcoming X-Plane 12 is a promising addition to the genre thanks to its dedication to realism.
