Same, about 500+ hrs. Stopped flying when I knocked the commercial training on the head due to the bank manager insisting I re-evaluate my career choice
Is it as good as it looks? Visually, yes, in places, but not everywhere. Limitation of Bing probably. But as a scenery simulator it'll tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people.
As a flight simulator I think it will have a mixed reception, those who just want to have a bit of a jolly (absolutely nothing wrong with that) will be fine with it, the serious simmers and irl pilots may not be as impressed a month after release. There are several issues which have been getting continually raised in the alpha/beta forum but are still to be addressed. I have no doubt they will be, just not by release date.
I completely understand the excitement for MFS2020 (I'm excited for its potential too) and the fact people want to get their hands on it as soon as possible but, and this is just my ill educated opinion, I don't see the sim being a valid replacement for any current sim until at least early/mid next year when quality third party aircraft are available to replace the default ones. The issues with wind effects, trimming, controller handling I'm hoping will get sorted a lot quicker and should make the default aircraft a bit more tolerable.
I've been simming for donkeys years and desperately want this sim to be the best thing since sliced bread, but I also think it's important to temper expectations and be realistic about when it'll get to the point of being the best thing since sliced bread.
