I really can't say since I've never used those program in that
capacity.
Do
these other programs provide similiar features to the one I mentioned?
I
really don't know for sure....


Pretty much, yes. MSFS is quite a bit cheaper, though the replay
features
are not quite as robust as On Top. But I gave up on On Top because it
doesn't use standard drivers and wouldn't configure for my preferred
game
controller...

I've never used On Top, but the replay features in MSFS are pretty cool.
You can get a simultaneous chart/track view and profile/altitude view.


The thing I really liked about the replay mode was being able to watch the
instruments as well as the plan and profile views during playback....

Anyone considering getting MSFS should wait until the new version comes
out
later this month.


Definitely!
