The differences are few, that's right.
A little list would be:
- modified flight dynamics: they have changed something regarding the controls, the reactions of the planes. An FS9 plane doesn't fly in FSX exactely as in FS9, but the difference is not that noticable. For example, I believe the interpretation of the center of gravity has changed.... hmm maybe someone can confirm ?
- ground handling differences depending on the type of surface (tarmac, mud, snow, the grip is not the same)
- new fly-by-wire system on the Airbus
- ability to fly over 100.000 feet altitude
- head movement in the VC: this doesn't change the way the plane flies, but it radically changes the way you feel the flight
There are certainely some other points, but I think I gave the most obvious ones. As you can see, the difference between FS9 and FSX in this domain is not that big.
