Microsoft Flight Simulator has been around longer than X-Plane has ever been thought of. MSFS was the first flight sim and it came out in the early 80’s. I know. I’ve owned almost every version at one time or another. The older versions came with books to use for “training,” and included training procedures (flight school with Rob Machado), and a myriad of other features. Sadly, this iteration is sorely lacking in documentation and despite the eye-candy, suffers with terrible performance issues. I thought things were starting to improve until I made a flight from EDDM to LLBG in the A320 last night. When I took off from Munich everything was great. By the time I was about halfway to Tel Aviv I was down into single-digit frame rates, and it never improved. But I digress.
