Get the perfect hardware
X-Plane works with a countless number of joysticks and hardware. However, if you would like help selecting the perfect hardware guaranteed to work with X-Plane, here are our suggestions.
Digital Edge sells joysticks, yokes, throttles, and pedals by CH Products, all of which have been selected for their high quality and known compatibility with X-Plane.
Mac computers
Austin Meyer, the author of X-Plane, does all of his development work for X-Plane on Macs, and he recommends them. The latest iMacs and Mac Pros
from Apple run X-Plane well, though they will not be able to “max out” X-Plane 10 (there’s not a personal computer on the planet to do that yet!).
Windows computers and joysticks
XForce PC is a company run by Laminar Research employees that sells Windows computers and accessories that are guaranteed to work with X-Plane out of the box. If you are not sure which joysticks to get, which computer to buy, and so on, we recommend going to Digital Edge for that hardware. Everything you get there will have been selected by Laminar Research employees to work perfectly with X-Plane.
Get real-world avionics for your airplane
From the creator of X-Plane: the most powerful real-world EFIS available, on your iPad or iPhone!
Xavion is an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) for your plane, with synthetic vision and an engine-out landing system. One customer called it “The iPad’s answer to the G1000.”
When you aren’t using Xavion in your real cockpit, you can connect it to X-Plane to get a spectacular flight display for training!
Learn more at the Xavion Web site, or find Xavion in the App Store.
Get custom aircraft files for X-Plane
Laminar Research offers the capability to custom-create real aircraft for X-Plane on a contract basis. This work can duplicate an owner’s airplane, down to the paint, tail number, avionics and instrument panel, including the proper placement of controls and switches. This process includes custom one-off engineering and graphics design work. Historically, we have even certified a few of these aircraft for use with the FAA-certified version of X-Plane. As you can imagine, this work is priced accordingly and is not inexpensive. Typical costs range from $3,500 to $10,000 per file.
In the past, these custom planes have been created for the US government, various well-known aircraft manufacturers, and private aircraft owners. The aircraft created range from Cessna Citations and Piaggio Avantis, to Beechcraft Barons, to Piper Saratogas.
