This review is in X-Plane 12 v12.7b (brand new Beta). The Startup screen with a rotating aircraft scenario (You can disable this startup option if you want to) is still quite impressive.įirst a few notes. to wrap up the installation, you have to agree to the 'License Agreement'. Then you install the aircraft remotely which is around a download of 1.2Gb in size. First you must find the X-Plane 12 'Aircraft' install address, then insert your authorisation number (key), if correct you will get a 'Activated' signal. If the aircraft is available it will show up in the Product Manager, the initial release version is v1.4.0-Beta, just select to load. The 'Product Manger' is installed in your X-Plane/Plugins folder, and is accessible via the Banner/Plugins Menu. So it is a completely new install for X-Plane 12. which can be done when you update or purchase the C172 SP aircraft. Notable is that for X-Plane 12, is that you have to download a new 'Product Manger' for X-Plane 12. The installer can be downloaded in all Windows (.exe), Mac OS (.app) and Linux (.Jar) forms for your own type of operating System. But this is now a few years on, I found this time around that the XJet Plugin is now very refined (now up to version v2.0.0) To use the XJet System you have to download the 'Product Manager' program and install it on your computer: Product Manager / Xjet 2.0.0) Which can be a tricky thing to do and that proved to be just so as the Plugin on release was quite buggy in the KA 350 aircraft. AirfoilLabs also introduced their own plugin system called XJet.

With the introduction of the KingAir 350. It comes with a very extensive package of features (yes the feature list is one of the longest in X-Plane), but also brilliant modelling and quality detail.Ī full comprehensive review of the X-Plane 11 aircraft release is here: Aircraft Review : C172SP NG DIGITAL by AirfoilLabs The C172SP NG Digital was introduced into X-Plane 11, early December 2021, so it is basically only 10 months old. It is signed as a 'Beta' version and not as a X-Plane 12 compliant aircraft, it works and flies (actually very well) in X-Plane 12, but as the development Beta goes on, this is not the final form of the aircraft for X-Plane 12. This is Version 1.4.0-Beta of AirfoilLabs Cessna NG 172SP, and an aircraft with X-Plane 12 elements as part of the package. Aircraft Update - C172 NG Digital X-Plane 12 by AirfoilLabs
