Internally, MSFS currently pretends to be FSX. However, in the future, MSFS should be supported natively to leverage new MSFS SimConnect features and to avoid user confusion.

[ ] Add MSFS to swift itself (checkboxes, compile options, ...)
[ ] Add MSFS to Datastore
[ ] Update install & configuration instructions for MSFS
