So?
Again off topic--but reaction to messages just above this message--
In terms of Flight characteristics X-plane is a sim and not a game. I think the behavior is better than Flight simulator 2004. So while the web site does not look so nice the sim is good for simulating an airliner. Fs2004 is now fully developed by the community. For example check http://www.flightsim.com. There are dozens and dozens of add ons for it. And when Fsx came out it was a bit of a let down in the realism department. M$ contracted more on making animated elephants in Africa (really) than flightsim behavior and it was aimed more at the gaming market. The FS-Community proves that a community can get every last bit out of a game and therefore it was a let down that MS pretended to support the community but when FSX came out it was more a FlightsimGame than a Flightsim.

Don't forget the new versions of Falcon also

So there are more flightsim platforms than one might think.
