So it is a completely new install for X-Plane 12. which can be done when you update or purchase the C172 SP aircraft. Notable is that for X-Plane 12, is that you have to download a new 'Product Manger' for X-Plane 12. The installer can be downloaded in all Windows (.exe), Mac OS (.app) and Linux (.Jar) forms for your own type of operating System. But this is now a few years on, I found this time around that the XJet Plugin is now very refined (now up to version v2.0.0) To use the XJet System you have to download the 'Product Manager' program and install it on your computer: Product Manager / Xjet 2.0.0) Which can be a tricky thing to do and that proved to be just so as the Plugin on release was quite buggy in the KA 350 aircraft. AirfoilLabs also introduced their own plugin system called XJet. With the introduction of the KingAir 350. It comes with a very extensive package of features (yes the feature list is one of the longest in X-Plane), but also brilliant modelling and quality detail.Ī full comprehensive review of the X-Plane 11 aircraft release is here: Aircraft Review : C172SP NG DIGITAL by AirfoilLabs The C172SP NG Digital was introduced into X-Plane 11, early December 2021, so it is basically only 10 months old.

It is signed as a 'Beta' version and not as a X-Plane 12 compliant aircraft, it works and flies (actually very well) in X-Plane 12, but as the development Beta goes on, this is not the final form of the aircraft for X-Plane 12. This is Version 1.4.0-Beta of AirfoilLabs Cessna NG 172SP, and an aircraft with X-Plane 12 elements as part of the package. This is only true for Aircraft – everything else has to go in the right bucket.Aircraft Update - C172 NG Digital X-Plane 12 by AirfoilLabs

*If you thought X-Plane already required it, well…nope – X-Plane 10 will load an aircraft anywhere in the X-Plane folder. type, studio, number of engines, or file name search. But we also provide a bunch of other ways to find aircraft, e.g. You can make any set of folders within Aircraft you want, and when you search in the UI, you can search by folder names. The goal is to have a file structure where it is not necessary to reorganize where files live or deconflict, so that automatic updaters (ours and third parties) can find the files they installed. The old folders-with-categories-of-aircraft are now gone. Our aircraft are in a folder called “Laminar Research” within Aircraft my suggestion is that vendors (and a lot of you are already doing this) have your own folder in Aircraft where aircraft go. This will let us search a much smaller footprint of files to find installed aircraft, which speeds up the UI. Weapons, Airfoils, Custom Scenery, etc.). Starting with X-Plane 11, all aircraft must be installed in a folder within “Aircraft”.* We’re taking this opportunity to normalize where Aircraft are installed (all other files have to go in ‘the right’ folder, e.g.
