Y'all need to stop wasting energy on that guy.

I have been flying since 1998, there is a lot of good and a lot of bad

The good for me performance wise basically I have vey few stutters, pretty much smooth unlike FSX which was a chop city.  The graphic are marvelous, simply superb.  Most of my settings are on Ultra but the key is I have frames locked on 30, u dion't need 60 or 90 for simming.  Also so many good quality free addons.

Now the bad, traffic issue all over the place, see no traffic in the air. atc is simply awful  I am using dx 11 since dx 12 just does not cut it for me.

The touch controllers( I'm speaking from personal experience with Oculus only) work great when you put a little time into configuring them to do push and pull actions, which takes under 2 minutes to setup.

So what did you do configuration wise?

He wasn't telling you what to think -- he was expressing his satisfaction with MSFS for VFR flight. Why must every statement be a source of debate? Or is it that for some folks, debate is all they are looking for?

I am satisfied with MSFS for the same reasons he is, but he asserted it is impossible for him to use any other sim - I just suggested a local food outlet is not important outside of low and slow VFR.

Just assign
“Cockpit Interaction Increase” to right thumbsticks Y axis. Reverse off.
“Cockpit Interaction Decrease” to right thumbsticks Y axis. Reverse On.

I bound left and right thumbstick to decrease and increase the value and up and down to push and pull resp. secondary and tertiary cockpit interaction.

Good for you. Wish I could say the same 🙂

I keep my community folder very tidy and I’m just a low and slow VFR pilot , so no study level for me . Hopefully SU10 

things will improve for you .

Which of course is irrelevant to what he said, as he was talking specifically about VFR flight.

Many on this forum I can unequivocally say having simmed for decades and with all the other current alternatives and ones before, MSFS is entirely in a league of its own AFAIAC. And I'll gladly take this MS/Asobo team with its unprecedented levels of transparency, frequency of free updates, and their overall commitment and passion to flight simming over any other, warts and all.

I completely agree with @lwt1971.

The OP "review" totally omitted any direct comparison of MSFS to P3D or to X-Plane. So, instead, the "review" compared MSFS to perfection rather than to any real-world alternative product. But as @lwt1971 states, I'll happily take MSFS and the Asobo developers over any alleged "competition." 

Quite the read folks!

$60 for this sim - pretty good bang for the buck in my books!

We sometimes take things for granted over time. Remember the E3 2019 Flight Simulator reveal trailer? It was unbelievable the first time we saw it - a result of new technology.  Continued refinements in a complex simulator take time. With patience they will come.

I am grateful for everything this sim as offered. This platform re-energized the flight simulation community and introduced a whole new generation to the hobby that help shape and improve the platform with new modifications, new aircraft, new developers etc.

Keep the glass 1/2 full and enjoy what Flight Simulator offers now and will continue to offer in the future!

It would make sense to be happy with these 2 years of trickling tiny namesake fixes if the sim was someone's part time free project, but it is not. Any significant feature additions would have been right in the release, or in the next few months after at most. In 2-3 years you would get a full new sim with freshened features and core additions that give a leap in fidilety. This is starting to look more like an excuse to continue to have the sim show in "development" to keep simmers hooked on a less than complete core sim than others are. Several users have fell for it and taken for a ride/flight in the sim, good for MS/Asobo I guess.

And I thought I was being harsh 😛

Where did the OP say that?

I can look out the window of an airliner at 30,000ft and see individual buildings.

I'm 3/3 on 5+ hour flights in the SU10 beta in the past two weeks and I have to say that I am really happy with MSFS. It has completely reinvigorated my enjoyment of simming and I cannot wait to see what the next few years hold in terms of new aircraft and scenery.

Certainly for the children of the magenta line MSFS is head and shoulders above P3D and X-Plane in terms of visual fidelity, ease of setup and use, and overall enjoyment factor. The PMDG and Fenix aren't perfect, but they're way better than 'good enough' and the weather, scenery, and atmosphere of the sim are absolutely breathtaking. Every day I have the urge to fly somewhere and see somewhere new.

Haters gonna hate. MSFS will still dominate 🤷‍♂️

Haters and fan-boys have been the way of the internet since the first bulletin boards and Usenet came to life. The challenge is trying to remaining objective and keeping an open mind. 

Someone here said you can't compare MSFS to perfection... only to previous sims. I think that's overly limiting. 2 years after the iPhone was released, you could argue that it should only be compared to the Blackberry... but how relevant would that comparison be?  If we are simply satisfied with outdoing the last generation in the most minimal of ways, how will new things improve?  MSFS has to be held to a higher standard that older sims IMHO, otherwise, everyone at Asobo could just pack it up and work on something else as we've already bested the older sims. I think we all expect more than that.
