WARNING! DOESN'T WORK ON LINUX AND WILL NEVER WORK!
The studio has officially said they dropped support for Linux. No idea why the game is still marked as supported.
XP11: Advertised “Linux support,” effectively broken on current Linux
On Ubuntu 25.04 (MATE, X11) with an RTX 3080 (driver 575), X-Plane 11 hangs during load (“Will init net”). This isn’t a one-off: Laminar’s own KB says Linux kernel 6.9 broke XP11 and that XP11 is !!not receiving updates anymore!!, offering only a workaround:
https://www.x-plane.com/kb/fixing-x-plane-11-getting-stuck-on-will-init-net-on-linux/
Yet the Steam page still lists “SteamOS + Linux” support:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/269950/XPlane_11/
So yes, it’s *sold* as supporting Linux, but XP11 is unmaintained and fails on current kernels. If you’re on modern Linux, expect it not to run. (XP12 still gets Linux fixes; XP11 does not.)
Or you would need a special system just to run the game, but you might as well dual boot Windows for that.

a bit hard to understand the reason i dont recommend its because the scenery is so bad and there are so many bugs and airplanes are jsut as much as xplane 12 and msfs 2020 combined.
qua realism good physics.

Pretty good sim, lots of detailed aircraft including so no real mods needed besides textures in game. 9/10 better than MSFS!

it may be old, but it's still great! If you have a low end PC or Laptop, I think it's good for the price!

Best Flight sim game for only 33$ but some planes like the freeware ones on xplane.org are TRASH but the B737 included is the BEST aircraft you can find on x-plane 11

Really good game though there is X-Plane 12 which is even better, for the price it is awesome, definitely would recommend getting the new game since it has more features though.

A very fun simulator with a lot of potential. I loved the ease of menus and the graphics fidelity at the time of release.
