X-Plane 12

X-Plane 12 is a realistic flight simulator that lets you fly around the world in a variety of aircraft. Each type of transport has unique characteristics and individual control panels. Professional pilots took part in the development of X-Plane 12, allowing the gameplay to convey the real experience of flying an aircraft. Airplanes, helicopters, gliders, etc. are available for flights. The detailing not only highlights the aircraft, but also the surrounding environment. The game features highly detailed water, a wide variety of trees, changing weather conditions and seasons. You can fly the Cessna Citation X, Cirrus SR22, Grumman F-14 Tomcat and many more. Each vehicle type allows you to experience a completely different experience while piloting the vehicle. In total, there are about 17,000 airports available worldwide, including Bella Coola, Portland, San Francisco, etc. The main difference from other flight simulators is that the gameplay is completely based on the theory of the blade element. This allows you to correctly evaluate the behavior of the propeller. Thus, each individual sub-element of the blade or wing is calculated individually, thereby influencing the aerodynamic force. Gameplay is based on physical quantities such as geometry, mass, engine location, engine performance, etc. The topography of the Earth is calculated using SRTM.
