X-Plane 12 for Mac

X-Plane 12 is a premium flight simulator from Laminar Research. It’s the 12th iteration of the X-Plane franchise, succeeding X-Plane 11. It boasts new and improved features to increase realism and a handful of new aircraft with well-made models. It’s not as realistic as Microsoft Flight Simulator but it's a great alternative.

X-Plane 12 lets players experience how it feels to be an aircraft pilot. It provides a realistic rendering of the world and an accurate representation of how aircraft are flown. Just like real-life aviation, flying a plane in this simulation is challenging and requires learning. A demo version is available.
