No doubt on many levels it is a superior product to FSX.
Zero doubt!
It would be wrong of anyone to claim the effort of Asobo was not an improvement, especially visually, to the franchise - for the features they focused on.
HOWEVER, launching without features that have been standard for 20 years… not lifting the bar high on ATC… weak IFR etc etc.
I remember in August 2020 scratching my head about the Garmin 1000 in the Cessna thinking they barely touched the surface. Then the device/peripheral defaults seemed like an after thought, and where limited only to current devices. Once I got going… literally my first flight, I noticed an odd thing: no replay. No replay in a 2020 sim???
Superior yes, but only in narrowly defined ways.
Respect to all @ Asobo.
