The choice is good, and it’s a pepsi/coke thing.
If I want to shoot something I use DCS. If want to shoot something in VR with a better framerate and a propeller I use IL-2. If I want to fly a 737 or use VATSIM in 2D then I’d use X-Plane, and for anything else recently MSFS. I don’t miss the XP11 ortho setting up and all that jazz. MSFS runs better on my expensive stuff, but that doesn’t mean I think it’s a good fit for everything.
It seems that often MSFS and XP11 get compared where XP11 will have payware and lots of expensive add-ons, as that’s the bar people think stock MSFS vanilla needs to beat - some of the payware MSFS’s is getting quite good and that’s probably what should be compared like for like. Do you have much MSFS payware yet? I can’t remember the last time I flew a stock XP11 aircraft…
