I agree, it flies great in FSX as well, but I'm used to being able to look to the left and visually see the flaps extension or at least the wing. You can't do that with the Bushawk because the airplane is designed with the pilot sitting higher than the top edge of the window so you have to bend down low enough to see out the window if you want to look back to the left. Basically take a Cub, a Pacer, any high wing airplane and you can easily look left and see the wing. The Bushawk isn't that way and for me it takes a real getting used to to enjoy an otherwise beautiful Bush Plane.

My CT206H Stationair from Carenado is like you described above. A truly stunning aircraft otherwise.
I have mine set up to see comfortably out the front, and only about 40 or so feet through the left hand side window - the top bar of the side window is essentially at eye level.
As real as it gets, I guess.
