NEWS! Header Aerosoft Svalbard v12 2025 XP12.jpg

 

One of the great if the very best scenery areas you can get for the X-Plane Simulator is Aerosoft's Svalbard XP. Created by MAPS2xplane, this is a sensational area scenery of the remote (very) Northern European set of Islands within the Arctic Circle.

 

Svalbard was previously known as Spitsbergen or Spitzbergen, is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. North of mainland Europe, it lies about midway between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole. The islands of the group range from 74° to 81° north latitude, and from 10° to 35° east longitude. The largest island is Spitsbergen (37,673 km2), followed in size by Nordaustlandet (14,443 km2), Edgeøya (5,073 km2) and Barentsøya (1,288 km2). Bjørnøya or Bear Island (178 km2) is the most southerly island in the territory, situated some 147 km south of Spitsbergen.

 

X-PlaneReviews did a full review of the MAPS2xplane release of Svalbard XP

 

This v1.2 release of Svalbard XP is the X-Plane 12 conversion. Basically the actual scenery aspects in the review stay the same, what is different here is the X-Plane 12 weather effects, in this case seasonal winter to summer ice and snow.

Update to Svalbard XP 1.2 is via the Aerosoft "Aerosoft One" application and is free. If you purchase the current Svalbard XP, you will still update to the XP12 version when installing.

 

Installation of the Svalbard XP for XP12 is done through the Aerosoft one installer:

After you have installed Aerosoft One, click on  

ENTER PRODUCT KEY (under the Library Tab)

Then enter the Serial Number provided in this order. This will give you the option to download the airport. Note the different X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 installations.

 

The earlier X-Plane 11 version is also included the package, but only v1.0.1, and the XP11 scenery comes without the XP12 effects.
