X-Plane Flight Simulator

We're going legendary for this post. 😤 💪 Keep posting your screenshots on Discord and Reddit! 📸

@RenMou9695 Read the changelog please

@XPlaneOfficial Does anyone know why the Challenger 650 cannot enter the game? Loading will cause the game to crash, and other planes will not have this problem.

Join Philipp as we take a behind-the-scenes look at developing X-Plane systems... with (*checks notes*) parenting a baby? 🍼 x-plane.com/2026/04/behind…

Happy April Fools. We can't take credit for this, but you can pick up this Jemma Studios addon right now! forums.x-plane.org/files/file/993…

Introducing the Airbus T1 - The ultimate airliner! ✈️ A modern experience purpose-built with the latest advanced materials, fuel-efficient engines and quieter cabin makes it a stand-out choice amongst passengers (Well at least all three of them!)

@lfurbaneja Please read the version notes!

@XPlaneOfficial q4xp crashing after update

The 12.4.1 beta is ending and will now be pushed as a public release. You no longer need to be subscribed to the beta branches! Thank you to everyone for testing.❤️ 12.4.1 brings some additional content and polish to X-Plane, including additional A330 improvements, X1000 improvements, more CPU performance improvements, new scenery assets, improvements to weather, and more! We know the SDK changes have been disruptive, but this was a necessary step to ensure stability and exciting content for the future! Please be sure to check the release notes for known plugin conflicts and status. Tune in later this week, and we'll have a roadmap update detailing the next few updates. 👀 🍏

@ianhowlett Not really from our view. 12.4.2 is a real hotfix, but the others are just provisional and contain a variety of improvements and other mystery items. And everyone likes to see us work on stability.

@XPlaneOfficial That’s great, thanks for sharing. With my Software Engineering hat on, it’s a bit worrying to see so many bug-fix releases scheduled (I question where the bugs are coming from, but I know you support lots of hardware etc). Good to see the flight model getting some upgrades. 👍

Hey X-Planers, our latest roadmap update is now available! 🥳 Read more about our upcoming developments here 📌 x-plane.com/2026/03/x-plan…

@orkaiq People build things all of the time that is not within our current timelines or restricitons. That is the beauty of the X-Plane ecosphere. Doesn't mean we dismiss the idea. So the answer is the same, no plans on the roadmap at this time I'm afraid.

thanks for the quick reply! I totally get that the current UI doesn’t support this kind of deep integration yet (that’s actually why I suggested it). That said, X-Dispatch was built by just one solo dev, and it already delivers a beautiful interactive world map, airport management, and a super-smooth launcher. It shows what’s possible today. With the big Dear ImGui UI overhaul coming in 12.5, would you be open to reconsidering a native integration? It would be a massive win for the whole community and fit the new interface perfectly.

@orkaiq Negative. We've already seen it, and whilst its nice, the current UI can't support something like that.

@XPlaneOfficial Hi plane, possible to implement this plugin natively forums.x-plane.org/files/file/985…

4 posts in one day... we need another holiday 😴

Steam customers only: We recognise you don't quite have the same abilities as LR Direct users when it comes to second copies and backups. So new to 12.4.1, you can now roll back to the previous version. This will allow you to keep using addons a little longer. 💪 But be warned that this is a temporary solution. ⚠️ Please make sure you fully read the release notes and find out which addons you need to update, and which ones are still waiting on plugin authors. These are necessary updates to ensure the future stability of X-Plane. Thank you. x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-…

X-Codr is back again with Airport Enhancement Package V2.0 🤩 Check out more details on the new procedural tech here: x-codrdesigns.com/post/aep-2-rel…

Happy Monday everyone. Here's the latest community screenshots that we've picked out! 😍

Ok @FlightFactor, just write down which days we need to book off for the 77W. We promise we won't tell. 😇

@PAP4BRAV0 This is a really really update. 🙂

@XPlaneOfficial When really really updates coming?

X-Plane 12.4.1 | R1 (RC1) is now online! This is still a beta! This update includes a few minor quality-of-life improvements and a new hangar-type variant for scenery builders. x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-…

@jpcammeraat Our developers are rather knee deep in development right now. But who knows, maybe next year! We'd love to come again!

@XPlaneOfficial We missed you at flightsimweekend.com in Lelystad!

Huge congratulations to FlightFactor and Zibo for their Flight Sim Awards for being the best X-Plane aircraft of 2026! Very well deserved. 👏
