X-Plane is a popular flight simulator developed by Laminar Research. It features a first-principles physics engine, realistic aircraft systems, and a wide variety of aircraft.
We wanted to understand the engineering that goes into creating a flight simulator so we invited Ben Supnik on the show. Ben is a software engineer at Laminar and he’s been working on X-Plane for the past 20 years. He joins the show with Kevin Ball to talk about X-Plane and his career working on the simulator.
Kevin Ball or KBall, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent coach for engineers and engineering leaders. He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup, and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.

You’re a professional software engineer—vibes won’t cut it.
Augment Code is the only AI assistant built for real engineering teams. It ingests your entire repo—millions of lines, tens of thousands of files—so every suggestion lands in context and keeps you in flow.
Where other tools stall, Augment Code sprints. Unlike vibe coding tools, Augment Code is built for shipping to production. And you don’t have to switch tooling: keep using VS Code, JetBrains, Android Studio, or even Vim.
Don’t hire an AI for vibes—get the agent that knows you and your codebase best.
