Featured Add Ons
Payware
The Reality Expansion Pack for X‑Plane is a realism-enhancing plugin for certain aircraft (such as the default Baron B58) that replaces and enhances the flight & ground dynamics, the default piston engines, the electrical system, the landing gear and many other aspects of the airplane. It also adds new sounds and extra 3D elements. It provides a damages system, a maintenance hangar and interactive ground checks. REP packages upgrade for free every time a new version is released with new outstanding features, major changes included!
Freeware
The Zibo Mod of the default B737 is one of the most popular add on planes used in X-Plane 11. It modifies the aircraft systems to make them more like the real world. Improved areas include the autopilot, the PFD & MCP, and FMOD sounds.
Gateway Airports
July’s outstanding Gateway submission was La Valette Luqa (LMML) submitted by Prospero246. It has an impressive level of detail, especially around the perimeter of the airport.
Happy flying!
