X-plane is a exceptional flight simulator, but only get if it you can handle a steep learning curve (if you don't want to fly gliders and ultralights forever), have a beefy computer and a decent joystick. Almost all of the negative reviews are just FSX fanboys whining about tiny things and not being able to learn.

X-Plane appears to be the natural successor to FSX, which pretty much has been the standard for years. It is still taking a little while until all the content makers are also switched, but that is bound to happen sometimes soon.

If you feel the price is steep you could always decide to hold out for the next Steam sale

Be aware you can 3-point turn a cruise liner in the loading times, and the controls don't seem the most intuitive.

X-plane is the best non combat flight sim at the moment due to the way it calculates the flight model. It's basically a virtual wind tunnel.

But unfortunately it's only a base to build on - if you dont want to invest large amount of money in to professionally made planes, do not buy it. Default planes are very very undeveloped to say at least.
