It’s probably the best flight sim to date. I see huge potential for addons to leverage the map data. Perhaps an arcade mode to make it more accessible to casual gamers.

Overall maybe, but I'd say the jury's out on the flight model vs X-Plane, and it (currently) doesn't model airliner systems quite to the level of the payware X-plane airbuses or the Zibo boeing. It really crushes X-Plane on weather currently.

X-Plane's flight model is unquestionably better.

I think that is very questionable.

X-Plane handles some edge cases better for sure, like stall/spin.

The feel of MSFS is much much much more real... like how there's always a little bit of turbulence.
