Upcoming Aircraft for X-Plane

Featured Replies

The planes I'm aware of and keeping an eye on are the Thranda Caravan, the Aerobask Falcon 8x, Vskylabs F-4E Phantom II and the update X-Scenery Mitsubishi MU-2.

I should probably add the Rotate MD-11 to that list as well.

(The upcoming PA-32 Saratoga that vFlyteair are working on sounds great as well but I think that's still a LONG way off)

For sure Matchstick. It's possible there is more in the pipeline we don't know about yet. In my opinion, X Plane is becoming a hot potato.

Yeah X-Plane seems to be weathering the upheaval generated by the arrival of MSFS as well as can be expected and the last year has produced some absolutely stunning aircraft to rival anything from other sims.

But I suspect a lot still rests on whether XP12 can deliver on it's promises and provide a codebase good enough to keep the sim fresh and relevant for the next 5 years.

Among some of the others mentioned here, i'm also keeping an eye on the Flight Factor 777 V2. There is also their 787 under work but frankly I just like the T7 more so I will probably choose it for future long hauls.

Another plane i'm looking at is the N-219 made in Indonesia. Too bad 2 real planes didn't make it to X Plane. Mitsubishi Spacejet, Dornier 728 as payware.
