This simulator will run on Linux, as well as Mac and +Windows. + +## Running X-Plane 11 + +This simulator should be able to run out of the box with minimal problems. There are two options when buying this +simulator: + + + There is a newer version of X-Plane, X-Plane 12, keep in mind it may not be worth it to buy X-Plane 11 as it will + most likely reach the end of its life with support from addon developers soon.

However, some +developers use their own executable installers, like addons bought from X-Aviation. + +These can be installed using Wine, where you will have to select the path to your X-Plane folder.
