Overall I feel Microsoft have compensated for the poor flight models by throwing in a lot of eye candy. The flight models and other flying characteristics are pathetic! I'm sure real world pilots would admit the 737 and 747 just do not climb like that. Seriously, the 744 climbs like Concorde, even with full fuel! The ILS approach mode is way too innacurate (A step back from FS2000), the autothrottles idle unnecessarily and struggle to maintain the selected airspeed (also a step back from FS2000). Plus points are: a better blend of scenery with runways, frame rates, water effects, clouds and contrails.
