I just bought a new computer (still waiting for it to be delivered) and I'm wanting to get back into Flight Simulation. But, I don't want to install and then uninstall (as we know, not all files are removed).

Based on system requirements (I couldn't find actual requirements for FlightGear, if anyone knows where I can find them, please share), they all seem about equal.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

HP Pavillion = p7-1233w
3.20GHz Processor
8GB of RAM (expandable to 32GB)
Radeon 7560D - 4059MB
1TB SATA Internal Hard Drive

For the most complete experience I tend to lean towards FSX or even 9. FSX can be a bit of a biotch but so can every thing else we love like wives, kids and cars. At least there are free addons that enhance FSX and FS9, not so with wives, kids or cars. Cool

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

I already have FSX, but I was watching videos of X-Plane 10 on YouTube earlier (that's what prompted the question)... seems pretty enticing!

I've gone over to X-Plane and love it, that said I also have FlightGear on a couple of my PCs and love that too.
Try FlightGear, not only is it free but its just back to the basics of flying fun. Stick 'n rudder stuff. I think I've got about 5 times as many hours on FlightGear as I do on FSX! Also on any half decent rig it'll run maxed out!

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