I have been flying it since the day it came out.You get 2 airplanes(Icon 5 and a Stearman) and the main island of Hawaii.
There is at the moment a couple of paid downloadable planes and airports.
It appears to have incorporated some of the Flight Sim Economy into it.You can take on jobs like hauling freight or giving flying tours.
There is also aerocaches.Like Easter eggs planted around.They give you a clue and you have to find them.
You can lean out the side of your Stearman using the keyboard(like TIR) so I assume the modeling is there for 6 dof.I expect Microsoft to enable that in the future for a cost.
The radios are detailed and you can tune the channels but they do not work.I assume that at some point they will be enabled or you have to pay to enable them.
I have talked to a friend that used to fly the Stearman in real life and he said this one is the most accurate of any he has flown online.
I have not flown FSX so I can not speak for the scenery.I think the clouds and water are terrible.
I suspect that true fans of the game will spend hundreds of dollars on planes,airports,and scenery when all is said and done.
It is free and good enough that I will continue to fly it.I doubt however,that I will buy and upgrades or DLC.
