Wanna see some new engines? Head for X-Plane10, even Flight (showing revised flight models and things), AeroflyFS or even the free FlightGear. Yes, this needs new planes and scenery but this often comes with a technological step forwards, right?

I do not like X-Plane at all. I have tried the demos since about version 7 and I just do not like it. I would rather pay for P3D and hope that, over time, they will make big improvements over FSX with it. They have the code, so they have the chance to improve it and that's enough for me.

I am planning to buy AeroflyFS at some stage, just to be able to compare it to FSX/P3D, but it has a long way to go to replace FSX. That's only  because it is something like MS Flight with the Hawaiian scenery only. But after viewing all the videos they have on their web site, it sure does look very good and very tempting.

FlightGear is new to me though. I think. :-/
