Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flight Simulator at none against Fly Plane's shown. Flight Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). Fly Plane's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 17%) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
