Everyone has their preference, I fly with my boss all of the time, and do most of the flying, take offs and landings, he just rents the plane once a month to keep his rental agreement current. I do most of the flying though, and after each flight I fire up X-Plane, and fly the same path I flew earlier. Also in the same type of aircraft. The experience is very similar, nothing against fsx, but I and staying with x-plane, its the same old argument like PS3 vs Xbox, I use ps3 and have owned both, got rid of the xbox...
