For X-Plane 12 | Apple Silicon & Intel Macs

Turn your flights into exciting aerial firefighting missions!

Fire Fighting FSX3D brings a complete aerial firefighting experience to X-Plane 12 on macOS.

Plan your missions, create fires anywhere in the world, prepare your aircraft, and fight spreading wildfires using water or fire retardant.

Thanks to its universal INTERNAL system, you can use virtually any aircraft in X-Plane 12, even if it was not originally designed for firefighting.

From unlimited practice sessions to realistic operations involving aircraft weight, tank management, and ground refilling, Fire Fighting FSX3D offers a flexible and immersive experience.

INTERACTIVE MAP & MISSION PLANNING

The dedicated macOS companion application provides an interactive map with aerial imagery and aircraft tracking.

Create your own firefighting scenarios by placing up to five fires anywhere on the map. Move fire locations using draggable markers and export them directly into X-Plane 12.

Track your aircraft in real time, including its position, heading, ground speed, and height above ground.

You can also search for real-world fire detections using NASA FIRMS satellite data.

The application can retrieve up to five detected fire locations within a 250 km (155-mile) radius of your aircraft.

NASA FIRMS detections provide a starting point for simulated missions and do not represent instantaneous real-world fire conditions.

FLEXIBLE FLIGHT INTERFACE

The companion application offers several display modes designed to minimize distractions during flight.

Switch between the full interactive map, a compact navigation compass, or a minimal single-button interface.

The compass displays the direction of each fire, with the nearest fire highlighted by a flashing green marker.

The interface can remain visible above X-Plane, including when the simulator is running in full-screen mode.

Move and position the window wherever it best fits your cockpit setup.

DYNAMIC FIRE SIMULATION

Experience evolving firefighting scenarios with dynamic fire behavior.

Water drops progressively weaken fires until they are completely extinguished.

Fire retardant creates protective barriers on the ground, helping prevent fire propagation.

Enable the fire spread system to simulate fires developing under the influence of wind and retardant barriers.

Fire propagation can also be disabled when you prefer to concentrate exclusively on practicing your drops.

Successfully extinguished fires automatically disappear from the map, accompanied by an audio announcement.

TWO GAMEPLAY MODES

PRACTICE MODE

Enjoy unlimited water and retardant drops without worrying about refilling.

Perfect for learning the controls, practicing approaches, and improving drop accuracy.

PRO MODE

Take your firefighting missions further with tank management and operational constraints.

Monitor your available water or retardant supply using the integrated gauge.

Drops require a sufficient quantity of the selected fluid.

In INTERNAL mode, aircraft can also refill by scooping water from the surface, according to the plugin's simulation logic.

Without a refill station, Pro mode can be enabled or disabled at any time.

When a refill station is placed, Pro mode becomes mandatory.

REALISTIC AIRCRAFT WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

The plugin automatically manages the weight of the liquid carried by your aircraft in INTERNAL mode.

Water weight is calculated at 1 kg per liter, while retardant uses a density of 1.2 kg per liter.

As your tanks fill, your aircraft becomes heavier.

As water or retardant is released, the aircraft becomes lighter.

The system respects the fluid weight limit defined in your aircraft profile.

This provides an additional operational challenge when preparing and flying firefighting missions.

UNIVERSAL AIRCRAFT COMPATIBILITY

Fire Fighting FSX3D features its own INTERNAL tank and drop management system.

This allows you to perform aerial firefighting operations with virtually any aircraft available in X-Plane 12.

No dedicated firefighting aircraft or built-in water drop system is required.

Simply create an aircraft profile by entering its name and desired tank capacity in liters.

Built-in profiles also provide predefined settings for certain aircraft configurations.

An optional EXTERNAL mode is available for aircraft equipped with compatible third-party tank management systems.

INTERACTIVE GROUND REFILL STATION

Prepare your aircraft for the next mission with the integrated ground refill station.

Position the station directly from the interactive map.

Move and rotate it freely, with its location updated in real time inside X-Plane 12.

Taxi your aircraft onto the designated TARGET area, stop, and engage the parking brake to access the service.

The integrated HUD guides you through hose connection and the refilling process.

Choose between water and fire retardant, then select the desired filling level:

25% – 50% – 75% – 100%

The system respects aircraft tank capacity and fluid weight limits in INTERNAL mode.

Water and retardant cannot be mixed in the same tank.

You can also stop the pump before reaching the selected level and depart with a partial load.

KEYBOARD, JOYSTICK & AUDIO SUPPORT

Assign dedicated water and retardant drop commands directly through X-Plane 12's keyboard or joystick settings.

Integrated audio effects accompany firefighting operations, including:

Water and retardant drops, fire extinguishment, water scooping, hose connections, and pumping operations.

A dedicated volume control allows you to adjust the plugin's audio independently.

macOS COMPATIBILITY

Fire Fighting FSX3D has been developed specifically for X-Plane 12 on macOS.

The plugin and companion application include native support for both Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86_64) architectures.

Supported platforms:

Apple Silicon: M1, M2, M3, M4, and newer processors.

Intel-based Macs: x86_64 architecture.

macOS 12 Monterey or later.

X-Plane 12 required.

Intel compatibility has been checked through Rosetta translation on Apple Silicon. Testing on a physical Intel Mac is still pending.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The companion application and help system are available in English and French.

Language selection can be changed instantly, and your preference is automatically saved.

An internet connection is required for online map imagery and NASA FIRMS searches.

Communication between the companion application and X-Plane takes place locally.

Compact display modes allow the mission to remain active. Completely closing the map removes the active fires and refill station.

The companion application automatically closes when you exit X-Plane.

TAKE YOUR FIREFIGHTING MISSIONS TO THE NEXT LEVEL!

Plan your mission. Prepare your aircraft. Take off. Fight the fire. Return to base.

Whether you're practicing precision water drops or managing complete firefighting operations, Fire Fighting FSX3D brings a new dimension to your X-Plane 12 experience.

Fire Fighting FSX3D – Your aircraft. Your mission. Your fire.

Developed by FSX3D.
