Yesterday we learned that the “world’s most advanced flight simulator” will soon work with Apple Vision Pro. Now we have a first look at how the experience will look, including how ARKit intelligently handles physical controls.

X-Plane 12 is coming to Apple Vision Pro through a companion app this spring. Support will be enabled by visionOS 26.4, which supports Nvidia CloudXR 6.0 technology. The flight simulator will stream in mixed reality to Apple Vision Pro from X-Plane 12 on the Mac, Windows, or Linux.

Now creator Justin Ryan has shared a first look at how X-Plane 12 works on Apple Vision Pro.

As announced yesterday, the experience supports showing your physical yoke or throttle using ARKit for a more realistic perspective.

Here’s to hoping for more simulators in the future. Apple’s F1 partnership with is just begging for a racing sim to arrive.
