Show me where you read this? This is not true because X-Plane is based on the NASA models and the NASA models do. This is why basic flight testing is done initially on X-Plane since it will be close to actual full dedicated computer calculations done later.

As for airport scenery - yes, a lot of airports are lacking, but that is made up for in many ways by the online scenery.
