Much like some other current threads, there's a new computer in the household and an older version of MSFS in the drawer.
Anyone care to cuss/discuss the pros cons of X-plane vs. FSX?
I've followed this for a few years- purists insist that X-plane's mathematical modeling of fight is more real. They may be right, but as long as the chair in front of my computer screen doesn't yaw pitch and roll, any flight sim software has one huge gaping hole in it's reality.
My personal interest is just flying various planes to various places- not into virtual airlines.
While prettier clouds don't really interest me, a more real view of the ground below does.
I also enjoy downloading various types of planes and get off a little bit on airlines that don't exist any more.
I have also struggled with MSFS- dialing in a 200 ft and 0.5 miles to do an ILS, but seeing ALL SORTS of stuff at 400 ft AGL!
I've had "MS"FS all the way back to Sub-Logic Flight simulator on my Commodore 64. I have flown X-plane a few times at aviation museums- hard to tell the difference on the actual flying.
Anyway- anyone here tried both software and have some thoughts.
