In my opinion, X-Plane 11 has it beat in the flight model department.

I have both sims start on the runway at the San Francisco International Airport.

Please dont judge my flying, as I am just experimenting with the two, to get a feel for the flight model.

Aerofly FS 2 is set to Ultra, which is the highest setting and X-Plane 11 is adjusted to a high setting.

X-Plane 11 does have higher settings, however my computer cant handle the top settings in VR.

The only big downside to this, is that if you fly lower than a couple hundred feet from the ground, away from an airport, you will really notice that it is an actual photograph of scenery.

The scenery becomes distorted, like when you zoom too close to a digital photograph.

Its definitely not a deal breaker, as it is not often you are doing a landing in a field (unless you are practising emergency landings).

As long as you arent landing on random fields or on a city street, you wont notice this.

Around the airports is high resolution, making for a better experience.

If you are flying at a good height, then the scenery is amazing.

As I dont have mine cranked up to the max it is hard to do a 100 comparison, however I can tell you that I have cranked them up on my monitor, without VR and can tell you that they are amazing.

It almost makes it hard to distinguish between the sim and real life.

It is worth it to run it on a very high end computer when using VR.

The real big benefit to X-Plane 11, is that everything is moving.

Trains, birds, cars, planes and much more is cruising around as you fly.

If you need some VR equipment like a computer that can handle VR, take a look at this post, Top 5 Things You Need for VR Flight.

For most of the flying I have done in Aeroplane, it has felt realistic.

It pulls to the left as you accelerate off the runway and pulls to the left when you climb into the sky.

Without rudder correction, it will start to veer to the left (which is what it should do on take off).

It appears to have a slight amount of adverse yaw when you turn.

It is known for its flight model characteristics and realism.

I can confirm that flying a Cessna 172 is very realistic in X-Plane 11 as I have flown the Cessna 172 in real life.
