The official trailer for X-Plane 12 was recently published by Laminar Research, and it showcases a number of the simulator’s important features and enhancements. The environment received a lot of care, with seasonal changes affecting the weather and even trees as the year progressed, realistic water where pilots may practise seaplane operation, and atmospheric phenomena like microbursts and turbulence that impact air handling. Volumetric clouds, an ever-changing weather system, and photometric lighting create amazing graphics, and compatibility for VR headsets like the Valve Index makes it highly immersive. The trailer also says that X-Plane 12 will be entirely launched in December 2022.
