### X-Plane 12 Arriving on Apple Vision Pro
Upon the launch of visionOS 26.4, Apple Vision Pro will showcase the “world’s most advanced flight simulator” for the very first time. This forthcoming software upgrade incorporates support for a crucial technology that facilitates a novel immersive flying encounter.
X-Plane 12, which is already on Mac, Windows, and Linux, is scheduled to premiere on Apple Vision Pro alongside the release of visionOS 26.4, which is presently in beta. This upgrade will integrate Nvidia’s CloudXR 6.0 technology, enabling users to stream immersive experiences from PC and the cloud.
A new companion application for visionOS will employ CloudXR to convert Apple Vision Pro into a viewpoint for X-Plane 12. The developers of X-Plane revealed that later this spring, with NVIDIA CloudXR 6.0 for visionOS 26.4, Apple Vision Pro users will have the opportunity to experience an immersive flying adventure that heightens training authenticity.
The companion app will effortlessly recognize an Apple Vision Pro and stream the flight simulator directly to the device. Utilizing image detection through ARKit, the simulator can accurately track cockpit locations, merging the physical and digital realms flawlessly. CloudXR also offers privacy-preserving foveated streaming, delivering high-definition visuals with minimal latency while safeguarding gaze information.
X-Plane 12 is arguably the initial offering in a series of immersive simulator experiences that will be facilitated by visionOS 26.4.
