Honestly, take a look at X-plane, even version 9 is better than FSX if you're interested in flying.Michel

Maybe the default x-plane aircraft are a bit better than the default FSX models but 3rd party add-on aircraft are miles ahead in FSX in terms of graphics and flight dynamics. That is my conclusion after buying and flying x-plane 9 for a month. So I'm sticking to FSX. As are my PPL/CPL students. Maybe x-plane 10 will offer something better. I look forward to trying it!

Sorry, no, XP9 default is not better than FSX default. If you like flying into airports with no buildings, with no ATC, and no AI traffic then XP9 is for you.I honestly await XP10.
