![]() Unfortunately, AMD drivers do still perform comparatively worse on OpenGL than on DirectX when in Windows. For much of the last decade, Nvidia’s drivers gave better OpenGL performance on Windows, although this has improved in the last couple of years with AMD’s OpenGL support closing the gap with Nvidia. Having some OpenGL games in the test line up is essential to show performance over different graphical APIs since there are some differences between the level of GPU manufacturers support for non-DirectX APIs. Laminar Research still uses OpenGL and its cross-platform nature is well suited to producing versions for Windows, MacOS, and Linux without having to rewrite huge parts of the code base from scratch. Since Microsoft Flight Simulator was a Windows product, X-Plane captured early market share on MacOS and used OpenGL due to good compatibility with the operating system. Most of the games we benchmark on Windows use the Microsoft DirectX graphical API due to its dominance on the platform. There is also an inbuilt testing system that allows us to run scenarios in a consistent environment. X-Plane is a good game for benchmarking because of a multitude of options for increasing visual detail, shadow quality, object count, and view distance which mean that the game scales well over a range of hardware (although graphics options have been simplified in the newest version). The highly advanced physics engine that accurately simulates factors such as airflow based off of the angles, lines, and engineering data of the plane models also places a heavy strain on the system. Alternatively, there are a considerable number of freely available airport layouts online to install to add some life to the places from which you take off and land.Īs a highly detailed open-world flight simulator, the plane models, environment, and objects place a significant toll on systems. Those who want more detail and immersion can choose between a multitude of high-quality payware aircraft and extremely detailed airports. There are runway locations for over 34,000 airports around the world, including small grass strips in rural bush areas, and community developers are creating and submitting free airport layouts (buildings, vehicles, etc.) for inclusion in the game. The base version of the game comes with a set of 19 stock aircraft at varying levels of detail and immersion and a set of global scenery that covers most of the earth from 74 degrees north to 60 degrees south latitude. However, the 32-bit engine in Microsoft's product is showing its age, and this has allowed the more advanced 64-bit X-Plane engine to surpass it in technical prowess and scalability.ĭeveloped by Laminar Research in South Carolina, USA, X-Plane 11 runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux (X-Plane 10 also had a mobile version for Android and iOS). ![]() Siminnovations.X-Plane 11 is the 2018 sequel to 2012’s popular X-Plane 10 and is a competing product to Microsoft's Flight Simulator in the consumer market. ![]() Note: We would like to give an extra thank, to our partners and that we can contribute as beta testers.
