In terms of realism I guess it's pretty good, they focus very hard on accurate flight modelling.

Same here and the terrain is really naff unless you want to pay out for add-ons. Many people say the FM is far superior to FSX but FSX has such a wide base now you can get almost anything you want, much of it free. I like it for simple flying around over the photo terrain I added although the MS terrain is better than X-plane IMHO. Since I'm not dogfighting or doing serious aerobatics I don't notice any 'faults' in the FM. Its more than adequate. I will get Flight when it comes out just to see what the final release is like.

Yes, interesting. A lot of adverse comments since no SDK will be released and hence no 3rd party content.

They are consciously targetting a different market, trying to pull 'gamers' towards 'simulation'.
