Agreed 100%. As a first time simmer and long-time simmer wannabe, after "browsing" the competing simulators I have to say all-in-all, Aerofly FS 4 wins (I mainly use the Mac app). It hits the "sweet spot" in so many ways that the competitors miss -- performance, simplicity, interface, discoverability, quality. Yes, I want more realistic earth (don't mind paying for it), documentation (sim and flying in general), more tutorials, faster bug fixes. But even without these, it's really amazing today!
Happy advent!
