Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OrbitPoint at none against Flight Simulator's 12. OrbitPoint also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Flight Simulator's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
