Few questions for the sim experts...

Which one is better to easily learn how to procedurally fly? You know, proper plane startup, using ATC, fog(blind) guided landings, etc?

Which has the most immersive graphics with or without mods? I'm a major graphics whore.

Which has the best GUI system when flying?

I think Flight is going to lower in all categories except graphics. It's not a true simulator really. More of hybrid between console arcade flying (no simulation at all) and FSX (pretty good simulation). I think FSX and X-Plane 10 will be much better for the enthusiast because of the extra planes, locations, etc. that can be added to the base game. Flight does not allow third-party additions. It's a closed system. I think Flight will be best for people that have never played flight simulators before. It's a good first step, free demo and all. People should not get angry. Some people that start with Flight will move on to other simulators, so it gets more people into the community.
