There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Looking forward to it, even though I've always been with MSFS, it looks good, I might have to give it a try.
I tried to do the FTP download of the demo, but it told me that it would take one-and-a-half days, so haven't been able to try that out yet. Undecided

Tried it. Was OK.

Compared to X-Plane 9: The clouds were improved a lot, same beautiful flight dynamics, ran terrible on my reasonably fast PC, nice lightning, max visibility is significantly higher (100 miles vs 20 miles), extremely long load times. Hard to get a good judgement when you can only fly with a joystick for 10 minutes.

I'll buy the full version eventually when I can get it for a very low price.

One thing that bugged me was the artificial stability (fly-by-wire) constraints for the F-22. They were terrible but some messing around I made them much nicer.

One interesting thing to do is attempting to fly the F-22 or B-2 with FBW disabled. It becomes almost impossible to do safely. FBW is one of the (few) areas where X-Plane is light years ahead of MSFS.
