Is it pretty well established at this point that XPlane is superior to Microsoft? My understanding is that Microsoft has previously used hard-coded flight characteristics to determine how a plane should handle, whereas XPlane will actually model the physics of flight. Is that correct/generally accepted? Is there a plan to change that with this new version?
