So if you want to fly with green scenery all year round and that doesn't bother you, then I guess X Plane 11 is OK. The scenery in X Plane 11 is a nightmare if you want to have seasons since X Plane 11 neglected to support seasons throughout it's development. X Plane 11 has great flight modeling and I really enjoy flying the aircraft I have in that simulator. But overall I have fewer issues in P3D as compared to X Plane 11. The aircraft modeling is very good but the modeling is X Plane 11 is better. Active Sky P3D is used for weather and is excellent. Aside from some airport elevation issues in P3D it is my go to flight simulator for the following reasons. I have three flight simulators, P3D V4.5 and v5, X Plane 11 and FS2020. So, at this point I'll continue using X-Plane 11 for Jet Airliners and MSFS 2020 for GA flying. I still see MSFS 2020 needing another 6 to 12 months to mature (The 2nd update patch was 16GB addressing issues raised by the flight sim community). X-Plane 11 is still leaps and bounds ahead when it comes to flying jet airliners - specifically because we have the 3rd party pay aircraft (e.g Toliss A319) and the excellent free Zibo 737-800 mod. However, Bing Maps needs a major update! Some of the maps are out of date 5 or more years. MSFS 2020 is quite good for GA flying because of the great visuals, and the airports / cities with photogrammetry textures look very nice (e.g New York, Zurich). Thankfully a free A320 addon is being worked on by the Flight Sim Community to make it more realistic. You would be better saving your money to buy a 3rd party study level aircraft when they come out - eg PMDG 737-800. The Jet Airliners are certainly not study level aircraft ( so many buttons inoperable). The hand built airports are not that great and the Jet Airliners are not worth paying additional money for at this point. I have the Premium Deluxe version and advise anyone wanting to get the Sim to get the Regular version only. Microsoft Scenery Simulator was released still in a Beta phase.
