X-Plane 11 is the latest version in the flight simulator series for Windows Mac & Linux systems In this simulator there is a whole world to discover Thanks to its open structure all users & enthusiasts can change every single part of it & adapt it to their preferences The 11th edition of X-Plane offers a much more realistic & immersive experience A new rendering engine makes the whole world appear in a new light
- literally Due to ‘ Physically Based Rendering’ illumination & reflections behave in physically correct ways & change depending on viewing angle & the object’s surface This technique works dynamically which means that graphical effects no longer have to be pre-rendered It was also developed with very good performance in mind In the completely redesigned user interface the control setup aircraft airports & weather options are now presented with a visual preview which makes editing them a breeze The simulator can now be controlled much more intuitively thanks to this well thought-out menu structure Furthermore X-Plane 11 features a brand new sound engine that realises 3D surround sound with high quality samples This works on a global scale resulting in spatially correct audio placement of any aircraft & any object within the scenery while also taking the current location of the user into account The sound engine is fully usable & extendable by third-party add-ons The content of X-Plane 11 is also considerably expanded Numerous new aircraft with 3D cockpits & extensive documentation are available to the virtual pilot; add to that more than 3000 airports with 3D buildings static aircraft & dynamic environments The global scenery sees new cities specific to Europe & North America & an update to its overall layout based on recent Open Street Map material Considering all this X-Plane 11 is the most modern flight simulator
- still a simulation but closer to reality than ever before! Features Brand new user interface & controls setup New aircraft with 3D cockpits plus detailed documentation Now with over 3000 airports with 3D buildings Airports populated with static aircraft plus dynamic airport environments New rendering engine for enhanced lighting & water effects New city scenery specific to Europe & North America Latest road placement & global scenery from Open Street Map
