Same, kinda odd since there are many problems with the installation, sim and aviation side of things. I guess graphics still rule and of course the scope of the game. Blackshark AI did a good job and it's close to flying through Google Earth 3D. As long as you stay above 200 ft it's all very pretty.

However as a flight sim the state the game is in now is still far behind FSX which sits at 80... That actually had better modeled airports (for the once not handcrafted), more varied planes, less bugs and better handling, and had all the world with live weather as well. FS 2020 will get there, but the current rating is definitely based on potential. In a generation critics have gone from rating a game at release (Drive club / Sea of thieves) back to eye candy and 'it will all be fixed' scores.

Maybe it also has to do with it being a comeback after 14 years of absence.

Score doesn't matter, the game is amazing. Just don't bother with the missions for now or airliners.

This seems like the kind of game that will get support for quite some time 

FSX is still supported 14 years later, 3rd party though. Hopefully MS will support it longer this time. Unfortunately one of the first DLC (London landmarks) seems to either make it worse for some people while completely crashing the game for others when they go near London. The stuff on the market place also starts pretty high, CAD 40 for another plane, CAD 20 to CAD 27 to enhance a single small airport. Anyway not different from FSX and Train Simulator. You can soon sink thousands of dollars into dlc ...
