X-Plane 12 introduces a photometric HDR lighting engine, a new weather engine, seven new aircraft, volumetric 3D clouds, new visual effects, new forests / water / vegetation and other new landscape, and much more. Among the new aircraft available in this real-world flight simulator are the Airbus A330, Citation X, SR22, F-14 Tomcat, R-22, Lancair Evolution, and others.
X-Plane 12 takes it deeper with revised rendering for lights, the environment, shadows, the sky and clouds. The clouds make the jump from very primitive billboard style visual effects to a now common, industry standard, volumetric ray marched effect. X-Plane has finally offloaded a lot of things that were being done on the CPU and moved them over to the GPU which should improve performance while letting the team do more with just about everything.
