X-Plane 10 or Microsoft Flight Simulator X?

I'm getting an actual gaming computer soon and I want to purchase one of these fabulous games but I'm not sure which is better. Can you give me some pros and cons on each so I can decide on which to get?

    @Mox It's single player by default. Connecting to multiplayer requires fiddling with settings.

    @Sunnyskies that sounds fun! I'll look into it. Is it all multiplayer or is there a single player mode as well?

    I use a more obscure simulation platform called Flightgear. It's open-source, and supports incredibly deep customization. It's a choice for the more tech-savvy simulator enthusiast. It features a wide variety of user-created planes, a fully-modeled Earth, an active multiplayer with working ATC players, a lively modding community, and best of all, it is updated and upgraded frequently. The only major drawback is that it isn't very user-friendly, so I wouldn't recommend it to beginners.

    @Mox Try both. They have free demos that are amazing.

    But, X-Plane 10 is better with graphics, even though FSX has better physics.

    Both are really good but FSX is easier to use.
