That is quite an impressive list and a lot of those features, like seasonal effects, have been requested by the community for some time. They were not afraid to break everything and rebuild it. And if you visit the official website, you will find this list:Ī lot of these improvements or new features required Laminar Research to completely redo the code on some components, which is quite impressive. This leads me to think that people didn’t actually bother to understand the work Laminar Research had with the new version of the sim.īut for someone that has been following the progress, that is pretty clear. Yet, a lot of those folks that are saying this is not a truly new version, loved X-Plane 11 and were perfectly happy with the “evolution”. That’s right: X-Plane 12 is much more of an evolution for the sim than X-Plane 11 was. Other than that, X-Plane 11 was much closer to X-Plane 10 than X-Plane 12 is to X-Plane 11. X-Plane 11.00 brought us a brand new (and much-needed) user interface (UI) and X-Plane 11.20 brought us VR. If you have been paying attention to social media, you probably already know it’s not really bringing anything, worth paying attention to, right? After all, a lot of folks are calling it X-Plane 11.60, because it’s, well, just a minor update from X-Plane 11. Having that said, what’s X-Plane 12 all about and what does it bring to the table? So, I am sorry to bring you the bad news: X-Plane 12 is not that type of revolution you may have thought it would be. I see a lot of folks out there feeling very frustrated because, in their minds, for some reason, they imagined X-Plane 12 was going to come out as a completely new, overhauled, “next-gen” (as some call it) simulator that would blow everything else out of the water. It’s not a revolutionary new version of a sim. X-Plane 12 is not a revolutionary new sim. Let’s clear the air right now and get some stuff out of the way. I provide my thoughts and any insights I have – and a lot of unsolicited opinions, but I don’t really do any kind of review with rates, or scores and I don’t intend to start now. And, honestly, I haven’t reviewed a single sim before. In case you’re wondering why I’m just providing my initial thoughts and not a full-blown review, the product has not reached a final version yet. I’ve spent a few days using X-Plane 12 and here are my initial thoughts on it. That’s one of the questions we see popping up a lot on several Facebook groups, forums, and social media.
