I must admit it does look nice, But one sim is enough for me. Nah, it's a great time to try both. Just wait for SU 4 to release, it's a whole new sim. And XP is looking ever more amazing these days.. and it's smooth and performant, anti aliasing is vastly improved.. it's just so much better than the pre-release launch. I'm really enjoying having two amazing sims to choose between. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen

You have the PC, monitor and flight peripherals so why not? X-Plane loads very fast and is very easy to set up. You would be blowing your mind in mere minutes.

If you are a car lover, you wouldn't mind test driving a variety of cars to see what they offered. I've used MSFS, DCS, Xplane, P3D and Flight Gear because I love aviation and I wanted to see what each offered. If another quality Sim came on the market, I would try it also.

Yah, you are probably right. With the MSFS marketing budget it would be hard to resist. MSFS 2024 teasers got me super excited when I was on MSFS 2020.
