I am considering getting X-plane. Ive heard good and bad- great flight dynamics, poor scenery quality. Do any of you guys have it? If so, could you post some screenshots so I can see how it looks? Thanks.

I have it, but I'm away from my "normal" computer until next week so I don't have any pics, sorry.  But, the flight dynamics in it are supposed to be the best in a personal flight sim, but the graphics are not nearly as good as FS, everything other than the cockpits look quite dated.  It does come with quite a few cool airplanes (F-35, Space Shuttle, Fire Fighting airplanes, other various weird and fun to fly things also). You can also go into space and even fly on mars if you choose.  It includes a few cool scenarios it puts you in like doing a full approach into Edwards in the Space shuttle from 450,000 ft above Hawaii at 17,000 mph.  You can also do fire fighting missions and stuff like that out of the box but I haven't done any of that yet.  It also includes an aircraft and scenery designer, neither of which I have played with much either, but cool anyway.  Overall, if you want realistic flight dynamics, X-Plane is really cool, but if you're looking for another "pretty" Flight Sim, stick with FS9.
