What to do when the download is complete

  1. When your download finishes, open the “X-Plane12InstallerPlatform.zip” (where Platform might be Windows, Mac, or Linux).
  2. Inside “X-Plane12InstallerPlatform.zip”, double-click on the X-Plane Installer.
  3. At this point, the installer will then guide you through the (approximately 8.5 GB) download. Note that, by default, it will create a folder called “X-Plane 12” on your Desktop.
  4. To launch X-Plane after the installer finishes, just double-click the X-Plane 12 application in the “X-Plane 12” folder.
