Fun

Mediocre play. failed video

Although the aerodynamics are excellent, the supporting software is prone to hangs, fails and inadequate support. Too many things do not work adequately and some times not at all. I have thousands if hours with X-Plane simulations in addition to many years with professional simulations. Hopefully Laminar will get their act together.

Very little difference from standard scenery, definitely not worth the money

No 2D cockpit, no navigation avionics, not even a magnetic compass. 3D instruments almost unreadable. Recommendation, pass.

UPDATE: Incompatible with Windows 10 latest update per DTG Support Flight Ticket ID: SOX-990-46312. Nov 2017
A rehash of MicroSoft's ancient, abandoned Flight Simulator X code. Once a good game/simulation but limited to Directx 9 (never given the promised Directx 10) and does not do well adapted to Steam. Unreliable with very limited and sometimes unhelpful support. Recomendation, wait until Dovetail gets a handle on this product or switches to a different engine and check then.
I'd have many more hours on FSX:SE if it would not crash, hoping support will eventually get around to fixing my problem)
Update: a kind steam user helped me fix the crash problem (Hooray) but loud buzz when applying brakes and printing flight plans fails... .. .
UPDATE: Finally got it to run, more or less, using these settings [1] No Directx 10 preview [2] No SLI. Also Microsoft dropped support for some graphic compression used by a lot 3rd party developers, some of whom are updating their models. And finally, using GPS navigation on Garmin 1000 goes haywire after a short while, making it useless for cross country navigation.
Another UPDATE: Cross-country navigation Gamin 1000 autopilot problem can be eased but not solved by setting simulate rate to unity during transitions and changing simulation rates while paused.
YET EVEN ANOTHER UPDATE: Late June FSX;SE has taken to hanging during launch, and therefore is unplayable. No help from support. Followed their post on how to deal with the hang but nothing worked,

If you are a hard core train fan and willing to put up with things that don't work, very long loadtimes, so-so graphics, bland music, repetitive pitches, general inconsistencies, and a truly sloppy Workshop then this may be the game/simulation for you.

Otherwise it is an expensive pain in the neck.

I'll play it occasionally until the annoyances overwhelm the experience.

UPDATE 28Apr2017: There have been some improvements, but in general prior comments stll apply.
