Toast! :D
A simple question, I assume that a majority of us here at O-F use flight sims.
For me I personally like FSX because of its huge amount of add-ons, both freeware and payware, it's compatibility with many flight sim peripherals and its DX10 compatability. (I sure hope Flight has DX11 )
Edit: I'll give a little about what I think of the others.
Flight Gear was my first flight simulator, this was long before I had a joystick so it was an unusual experience to say the least and at the time I found multiplayer to be a bit confusing to set up, but otherwise the add-ons available for it were fantastic, all it lacked IMO was a little bit of realism, but I haven't played it in some time.
FS2004 I love for all the historical aircraft (including my favourite, the DC-3) and it's teaching course was great for the certificates you gained as you got more experience, I never played multiplayer and the graphics were a little lacking IMO, but otherwise it was great.
I never really used Orbiter as a flight simulator due to it's lower graphics quality with terrain and Earth textures. (even with upgrades)
I've never tried X-Plane, so I might download the demo (assuming there is one) and give a little review later.
