Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flight Simulator at 4.1 against Flight Simulator FlyWings 2013's 3.3. Flight Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 66 months). Flight Simulator FlyWings 2013's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
