I've been a long standing X-plane fan, So I'll keep this short and sweet. While I think the X-Plane framework overall is amazing, the technology really can not compete with Microsoft Flight Simulator. This game still lacks a fleshed out multiplayer system, does not have real-world buildings besides landmarks, and lacks a nice aircraft list(they took out the 747, which came with every release of X-plane since at least 9, and replaced it with an Airbus A330). Overall, it feels like this release is just a repackage of 11, with a few tweaks here and there. If you want this sim, wait for it to go on sale, or get X-plane 11 since its almost 20 dollars cheaper and for all intents and purposes looks and feels the same... or you could just get MSF.
