Part 1 of a video showing the capabilities of X-Plane 9. The video is part of the SimHQ Review by Chris "BeachAV8R" Frishmuth. Link: http://simhq.com/_air13/air_414a.html
@Fastbikkel X-Plane has changed a whole lot since the 90's. X-Plane 9 is comparable to Flight Simulator X and I personally believe the new X-Plane 10 surpasses FSX. It is still a little harder for novices to get into, but much less so than it used to be. But since you are an experienced pilot, that should not be an issue. Takes a bit of time setting up your joystick/yoke but that's it. You should give it a try again, who knows, you might like it. They have a demo of X-Plane 10 on the website.
@TheNarbMuffin I suggest Microsoft Flight Simulator X, It has a "Learning center" interactive tutorial,instructions(all the way from a small cessna to a big airliner).the included aircraft are not very realistic and easy to fly, if he really gets into flight simming, REALISTIC addons can be bought (i suggest PMDG and Captain Sim). all in all, it's great for beginners, and can be expanded for pros. Oh, before you buy any flight sim check the requirements, i suggest googling Canirunit.
I'm thinking of getting a flight simulator for my Grandad for his birthday. He is however a COMPLETE beginner, would this game be suitable? And does it have like a tutorial that shows you the very basics on a sesna for example?

I tried x plane once in the nineties. Compared to flight sim from ms it just didnt feel "right".
And i have flown real planes myself.

@ACPD001 it does that ecause your computer its not fast enough and to compensate it reduces the visibility.
