Been trying XPL11 for a couple of weeks now. I really like it so far. It obviously excells at several areas where P3D is weaker, but for tube flying, I still prefer P3D.
However, I find joy in flying both sims, so here are couple of screens from Rotate Sim MD80 v1.3 and IXEG 737 classic.
These shots have been rezied from 4k, so quality might be lost.
and the default C172 is quite fun to fly :)
