Realops is a ground service plugin for X-Plane 12. It simulates services such as (de)boarding, baggage handling, catering, lavatory service and refueling.

First of all, it makes little sense to compare the graphics and animations of Realops with GSX, because these add-ons were not developed for the same simulator and therefore have different basic conditions. In terms of variety, Realops cannot offer as much as GSX, and animations are also smoother in GSX, which is simply due to the structure of X-Plane. However, this is also Realops' strength. We focus on the essentials and ensure that you can rely on the plugin. You don't have to install hundreds of presets or hope that the plugin will still work when you're at a different airport. We invest everything and engage the community to improve realops together, but we will never compromise on functionality and realism, which is what makes Xplane and the community so unique and amazing.

Realops costs EUR 24.99. Future updates are included in this price.

Realops will initially be sold exclusively on our website. We offer secure payment via Stripe. PayPal and other payment options are available.

No, realops runs exclusively on Windows, as this simplifies support and bug-free development. The reason for this is that Realops also accesses external libraries. Compatibility is planned for the near future.

Realops currently only affects the weight of Zibo and all Level Up aircraft. This includes cargo, passengers and fuel quantity. We are working on integrating this for other aircraft as well. If the weight cannot be directly influenced, the logic is taken over by the plugin itself without changing any data.

A preset system is integrated into the plugin. This allows presets to be created for each aircraft. Please note that catering is not available for all door heights and ULD loaders are not yet available either. We are working on implementing this. Presets for well-known aircraft such as Zibo or Toliss are already included and ready to use. Detailed Information will be published before release.

The loading time of the plugin depends primarily on the SSD and CPU speed and can take around 20-30 seconds when the plugin is started for the first time. After that, Realops has little to no impact on performance.
Tested on low-mid to high-end pcs. stable 25+ fps are recommended.

The beta is closed and the sign-up period is over.

There appears to be a bug on some devices, which is currently being worked on. You will find more information on discord.

Due to high demand, download problems may occasionally occur. Repeating the download usually resolves this error.

Liveries can be selected individually for each vehicle. We are currently working on adding the ability to automatically load liveries at selected airports. Common liveries like swissport or menzies are already included, additional presets can be created and shared by the community.
