X-Plane 12 isn't just getting a brand new fighter. We've built a new carrier from scratch, too! Some elements (like deck-oration elements) are still a work-in-progress but it's already super fun.

Look at all those pretty lights! The 737 now takes advantage of the new photometric lighting technology in X-Plane 12. This represents a huge jump forward for the sim and it’s not just the aircraft new in v12 that will get the toys.

Frank Dainese's scenery has always held the uncanny ability to bottle the feeling of flying through idyllic alpine terrain. His new work for X-Plane 12 is no different! 👏

Quick Tip – The Baron engines in X-Plane 12 simulate engine flooding. That means that if you run the electric fuel pump for too long, you'll need to use the real world engine clearing procedure for a bit before the engines will start again. #NotABug 💫

One of our big things for Vulkan is add-on compatibility. That's hard because most of them like to run OpenGL. 😐But now it works! Here's the sim in running Vulkan with cockpit displays rendered by OpenGL with some trippy colors just for fun.

Want to put the new weather system in X-Plane 12 to the test?. 1) load up in a cold & dark aircraft, 2) set moderate precipitation and 5ºF airport temp, 3) sit back and watch winter happen. Careful taxiing! 😉

Here's a fun snippet from the scenery side of our X-Plane 12 development:. – static aircraft now cluster in groups of the same airline. – aircraft selection is aware of how far the airport is from the airline's home base. – airport designers can assign gates to a given airline.
