I think I'll just redirect that cash towards a new monitor instead and just wait for the upcoming CoD patch (which I know will fix every broken/missing feature mentioned in this forum).

I'm puzzled though. None of your pics had any Barbie fashions -- not even a Spitgirl! Very disappointing.

Actually, FSX is not that bad a choice if you don't mind certain FM weaknesses in default FMs and you've got the wallet for a few add-ons that circumvent them. Not everything there is though, just some well done stuff and you'll have a good enough time. For example, getting a weather add-on along with some terrain add-on for the continent you mostly fly, plus a couple of aircraft you like. Plus, today's PCs can actually run it well enough.

I've tried some very good WWII birds on a friend's PC and they have the individual aircraft systems down to a rivet sometimes.
The rest can differ depending on the add-on makers: you may easily see freeware aircraft done to a higher standard than payware add-on.

The thing with civie flight sims is that it's very modular, so individual designers can decide how much to push the envelope. That means you need to do some research before deciding what to buy.

I could easily suggest all A2A products that contain the enhanced accusim module, the FW190s from classics hangar and aerosoft's PBY Catalina. I've flown all of those on various occasions when visiting that buddy of mine and that's how i happened to know enough CEM and then some to transition smoothly to CoD
