Sounds like you probably need to adjust the control settings. I suspect you have them set to full stability.

Right... but wondering what compromises will be required to maintain parity between console and PC is a question worth asking. After all, that's the whole idea behind Xbox Game Pass, that you can play the exact same game on multiple platforms.

I never said it was THE target platform, but it is clearly A target platform along with Windows 10.

As Anders Bermann pointed out, Xbox is explicitly listed as a target platform along with Windows 10. It's on their official site. Scroll down to the bottom of the page: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/microsoft-flight-simulator I can understand why people might have misgivings about this revelation, but at this point, y'all are just shooting the messenger.

What are you talking about? As Anders Bermann helpfully pointed out (and thanks again, Anders, I appreciate you bringing clarity to this discussion), the official website explicitly lists Xbox as a target platform along with Windows 10. I'm not sure how pointing out this undeniable fact makes me obtuse.

That simply confirms what I said: Xbox is a target platform. Thanks for clearing that up. 😄

By listing it on their Xbox website and making sure that all promotional material is emblazoned with a prominent Xbox logo.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Microsoft is going out of its way to advertise this as an Xbox title. Here's the official website: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/microsoft-flight-simulator

Yes, but Xbox is a target platform.

For Xbox. 😐

New hardware always helps, but XP11 is also incredibly well optimized to the point that I think it actually runs better than XP10 on the same hardware!

It's all a matter of personal preference. I like X-Plane 11's default "dull" look because reality isn't bright and contrasty.

I installed it in Linux, but sitting in the cockpit tanked my performance. I was down in the 15FPS range whereas the external view I would hover around 40, so definitely something odd going on. I loaded up Carenado's stock bird, and everything ran fine. Not sure what the problem is.

Nice to see this. Carenado's Cessna 152 is one of my favorite planes to fly in X-Plane, and it bugs me that Carenado never bothered to upgrade it. Always happy to see a free solution, although I wish the fellow didn't depend on a Windows executable for delivery. Forcing us Linux users to jump through hoops to install it is a bit of an annoyance.
