I'm trying to make a decision between flight simulators, and I personally am still awaiting the resolution of the issues some have experienced. I develop software for a living and understand how common it is to have problems on initial releases of a product. I'm encouraged by the reports of the fixed wing flight model, as it seems like this is both the most important thing, and the thing least likely to change significantly. If the company can step up and fix some of the usablity issues soon, than it shows they are willing to respond to feedback and support their product. This is more important to me than the initial release being perfect.

That said, I am waiting to see that issues are resolved. Additionally, I'm really interested to hear anyone's experience with the helicopter flight model, as this is the main reason I haven't gone with an existing sim. I don't have the money for two flight simulators, and the consensus seems to be that the front runner of fixed wing is weak in helis and vice-versa. Since I don't yet have experience with flying helicopters, it's not something I can judge for myself in a demo either.

Well, that's my two cents on what I've read so far. Hopefully the brave people willing to give it an early shot keep the info coming for those of us waiting it out.
