In the completely redesigned user interface, control settings, aircraft, airports, and weather options can now be edited with a graphical preview. This thoughtful menu structure makes the simulator significantly more intuitive to use. Furthermore, XPlane 11 features a brand-new sound engine that delivers 3D surround sound with high-quality samples. The content of the world in XPlane 11 has also been significantly expanded. Numerous new aircraft with 3D cockpits and extensive documentation are available to the virtual pilot, along with over 8000 3D-modeled airports, static aircraft, and a dynamic environment. The global scenery has been enhanced with new cities specifically for Europe and North America and updated based on Open Street Map data. XPlane 11 is one of the most modern flight simulators - still a simulation, yet closer to reality than ever before.

The Aerosoft Airport Pack additionally includes the following six airports: Lugano, Toulouse, Weeze, Manchester, Maastricht-Aachen, Svolvær.
