I've kept an eye on X-Plane since version 7 - I used to resell version 8 for a while. It's got some great stuff that FSX sorely needs, but overall it's still got that early FS9 overall feel to it. Which is great if one is cool with that, but I need more visual realism than that, especially with atmospherics (which have improved in 10 but still feel "plastic"). I've heard many times that from a technical flight-dynamics perspective X-Plane is quite superior to FSX, but I've not actually met anyone who is confident on both and can give an unbiased nod to this. But as you all know, I'm hanging out for Outerra... let's not go THERE, again....
