Well, they better hurry up because they are going to have two new competitors, Aerofly 5  and X-Plane 10.

Aerofly is definitely not a competitor. From their website:

Aerofly5 is our state of the art RC flight simulator.

An RC simulator is completely different. I fly RC planes myself; it is not in the slightest way related to what I do in FSX, except that they both involve flying airplanes.

You're right Cory on Aerofly, I stand corrected. However, X-Plane 10 will be a competitor.

Very true, X-Plane 10 is really pushing into the market now. I did sign up for the beta, however, I was fairly surprised they didn't ask any questions at all about former testing experience, how much time you have to beta test, ect.

That was just a preliminary questionaire, expect a more intense questionaire (or two) before you're chosen.

That's true Bruce other one will be more detailed if picked.

I think that MSFlight looks more like FS9 than FSX, with addons offcause.
