The update contains bug fixes and includes more custom airports\. See the detailed list of new items here: Buzz Laminar Research releases X\-Plane 11\.50 final Laminar Research, creator of the X\-Plane flight simulator franchise, is proud to announce the final Vulkan/Metal update of X\-Plane 11\. After many months of converting our graphics engine and beta testing, we are today announcing the final release of version 11\.50 for the X\-Plane desktop platform\. Vulkan \(PC\) and Metal \(Mac\) are rendering level APIs that change how X\-Plane interacts with the graphics card\. They are faster than OpenGL that X\-Plane has used in the past\. Overall, most users will see improved frame rates and reduced stutters when using Vulkan or Metal\. In X\-Plane 11\.50, there is a check\-box in the graphics settings that enables Vulkan or Metal, and a restart of X\-Plane is necessary for the change to take effect\. If for some reason a user can’t use Vulkan or Metal, OpenGL is still available by simply unchecking the box\. Numerous bug fixes, enhancements, and new airports are also included in this release\. About the Game The future of flight simulation is now\. X\-Plane 11 is the detailed, realistic, and modern simulator you’ve been waiting for\. New in X\-Plane 11 A completely redesigned, intuitive user interface that makes setting up and editing your flight a breeze\. Consistently usable 3\-D cockpits and stunningly high\-resolution exterior models for all included aircraft\. A new effects engine for lighting, sounds, and explosions\. Realistic avionics: all planes are IFR\-ready right out of the gate\. Busy, “living” airports with pushback tugs and roaming fuel trucks, able to service both your aircraft and the simulator’s AI planes\. New buildings & roads to better simulate European cities …and more\! ## Game information - Type: game - Developer: Laminar Research - Publisher: Laminar Research - Release date: Mar 30, 2017 - Coming soon: false - Free to play: false - Parent Steam app: Not collected - Genres: Simulation - Categories: Single\-player, Multi\-player, PvP, Shared/Split Screen PvP, Tracked Controller Support, VR Supported, Partial Controller Support, Includes level editor, Family Sharing - Platforms: windows, mac, linux - Website: Not collected - Screenshots: https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_38fa93e70789b0b4d68dccac1eb3a874da926613\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_5bce5e0885835e7bd244edbc836edeb4ddba3f48\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_5e226995e33b0690d190386f2923e5b29e440221\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_8c1d11c8b55ce482a3cfe1e192636f0cd382d541\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_023d61ada2eaec7cb07e71946506ee7a128a468b\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_277dd15c5bd82f577d586d9b547b58e841d81bb3\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_35a2520bad426346196ac6e2aa96883e96f84e59\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_601d1531046aa105ba009c0a3bea137cf0c002cd\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_b99ef34b60334a94bf7f602817769b3895012c0b\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_70592440df07d7f57bf4be0e1f5eb37bb0cfd643\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_c5e98b876072e546ecc46f0b09bf3935c80a964b\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_4c2d8fe86f925256ea50c628028f3d1202635729\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_9c3b558932ed0a2bbead53cd6315d045f3e851ee\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/269950/ss\_f772f20bfbb9e96f77c91534826658b21676df12\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1784279193 - Price: 2999 minor units USD; discount 0% - Price country: US ## Observed metrics - Current players: 244 - Steam review count: 20319 - Steam positive reviews: 18899 - Steam negative reviews: 1420 - Steam positive percentage: 93.01146709975885% - Summer DB rating: No native votes Review filters: \{"language":"all","review\_type":"all","purchase\_type":"all","filter\_offtopic\_activity":0\} ## Player history [Seven-day chart data as Markdown](/api/v1/entities/1eb82484-5c05-4f34-90e7-630a5d1553eb/player-metrics?days=7&format=markdown) · [JSON](/api/v1/entities/1eb82484-5c05-4f34-90e7-630a5d1553eb/player-metrics?days=7) Chart values are hourly observed maxima.
