Seems like a stupid question, but for the life of me, I can't seem where to find this?

There are two area's to look.

1) As soon as X Plane is launch, you look at below the works "About this copy" 

The is quick reference,

2) When you are in X Plane Go the upper right corner, select the settings  that would open the setting windows.

On that page select Generals if it isn't selected already. 

One the general page, look on the lower right and you will see  "About X Plane" and click there.

There you will see the official build number.

Two ways - start XPlane normally on the start up flash screen a little dialogue box appears saying ABOUT XPLANE saying which version. After starting up, go to Settings, click on GENERAL and then down the bottom is a button ABOUT, clicking on that will tell you exactly which version is installed and being used. 

Sorry BobFS88 beat me to the punch as I was typing this.

Excellent question and answers...

Last week I was also looking after it, and found it after recalling where to look for, in my case it was in the LOG file 🙂

Maybe we shuld ask LR to make it well visible in the splash screen?

Sorry about that. lol

I was typing and typing and typing then hit send.

It all good and good answers too.

Some of the littlest things we see are right in front of us but don't register what they are until we need that information.

Good job for everyone participating as we come together as community.

without even having to start/run x-plane: simply right click the .EXE file to bring up its context properties:
