realops Simulations has recently released their newly announced ground handling plugin for X-Plane 12, bringing GSX-like features to Laminar Research’s newest simulator.

realops aims to simulate ground handling operations like never seen before in X-Plane 12, with realistic boarding, refueling, baggage handling, catering, and more. While optimized for Type C aircraft (B738, A320, etc.), it works with any airplane thanks to custom presets.

The developers claim their next-level animations will greatly enhance the ground handling experience in X-Plane 12, alongside accurately modeled 3D objects, physical aircraft loading (Zibo and LevelUP), many liveries for common ground handling and catering companies, full SimBrief integration, and much more.

It’s available on their website for roughly $34.11, requiring at least 4 GB of free hard disk space to install.
