X-Plane 12 is the world’s most comprehensive and powerful flight simulator for personal computers, and it offers the most realistic flight model available. X-Plane is not a game, but an engineering tool that can be used to predict the flying qualities of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft with incredible accuracy.
I love this game and the community surrounding it. I think this game is better than MSFS 2024 (in my opinion). Great graphics, great physics and great game overall. You can find most things on other stores to improve upon the game. Not to even mention the freeware.
Not a huge upgrade over 11, but the new lighting and clouds are nice.
Way better performance wise than MSFS2024 like absolutely no stutters its a dream. The graphics on the other hand don't really bother me as much but they are still well made
Best Flight Simulator Available for Private Use
If you're looking for the closest possible representation of real-world flight physics, I strongly recommend X-Plane 12 over Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). In my opinion, flight dynamics should be a simulator's top priority.
Why?

I’ve been playing X-Plane since X-Plane 11, when I was only 11 years old. It’s honestly crazy to think about how long I’ve had this simulator in my life.
Back then, I just loved flying around and exploring different airplanes. I never expected that, years later, I’d still be here — and now I’m actually planning to be a student pilot.
X-Plane has been...
