This is probably due to the fact that I've just tried using the demo and wasn't familiar with the user interface in X-Plane. I've heard nothing but great things about it. I also hate to admit it but the appearance of a simulator has some bearing on my overall enjoyment. FS2004 is gorgeous and with the right airplanes (like the RealAir Skyhawk which was designed exclusively for a flight school) it can be a very realistic simulator.

After spending many years using MSFS I switched to X-Plane and the differences are stunning. I find X-Plane to be even more accurate at simulating flight and the overall system much more powerful.
