Bought X Plane 3 weeks ago after spending 20+ years on the MSFS and lately P3D series, spending a smaller fortune on them, literally.
I find X Plane's flight dynamics better and lighting (at dusk, night and dawn) better. But the whole sim is lacking, it just doesn't feel complete. Vanilla scenery is awful, trees are awful, roads, shorelines are awful. Default weather is terrible, bought ASXP (have been using the series for FSX and P3D for over a decade) but even that didn't improve too much, the cloud redrawing is ridiculous. The lack of seasons, seasonal textures is also very disappointing. Nevertheless, I am gonna stick with XP for now, I earned my PPL a month ago and despite all these missing features or annoyances I find the actual flying part way more realistic so I am not here to bash the simulator, I simply hope that these will be addressed soon.
