It's interesting, but I still think Orbiter is hands-down the best spaceflight simulator. Realistic physics and orbital mechanics, high-detail texture maps of planets with bases, and the ability to build your own star system.

Nothing beats spending an afternoon flying from Cape Canavarel to the base of Olympus Mons.
