I've been flying xplane since version 5. The scenery is cool but is actually not as refined as lomac. I mean you can land the space shuttle from outerspace for chrissakes. They just don't have the little details likes trees and water as nice as lomac. They do however have carriers and ships that bob/weave in the water. Trying to land a V-22 on the back of a small freighter at night in a lightning storm is freeeeeaaaky.
They both have their specialties, x-plane is very open and general, lomac has a more closed environment but planes and objects are more refined.
They're both fun,
