xD thanks for the video, and yey I'm your 666th subscriber x3

Reason 1: Piston Duke Reason 2: Turbine Duke Reason 3: FlyByWire A380 release in three weeks or so Reason 4: BlueBird simulations Boeing 757 release some day.

1. I don't bother about the free AutoOrtho or simheaven, and use the payware Orbx True Earth. At the time of writing it only covers the UK but soon it will cover other areas. I would advise anyone to wait until then. 2. Yes I agree you do need XOrganizer, but I also use it to catergorize the type of planes that I use, so the system loads just those only, making it load faster. That said loading Xplane is faster than loading MSFS 3. You can sent up different profiles for each invidual plane to load automatically, you cannot do that with MSFS 2020 and you have to tell it what you want each time. 5. I agree the outside graphics are better in MSFS but as somebody has already said the default airports in Xplane can be better. 6. Ive been using Xplane for a while and the key bindings can be a bit silly I agree but I never use them. I use the a yoke, rudder pedals and throttle quadrant, so your comment is irrelvant to me. 7. Also for Camera controls I use X-Camera, you can not do that with MSFS2020 because asobo has not unlocked the code to allow 3rd party access.

Just followed, would like to see you full blown compair/install. I want to get a flight sim but not sure which one, your review could help me. My goal is to have a system totally local install without the need for the internet.

I have both sims. For me, XP12 still has an aliasing problem, no matter the video card, processor, or slider position. It shimmers, which makes for a poor picture. This is a killer for me.

I used X-Plane 11 for years after ACES gave up on FSX and I had a great time. The only reason I bought X-Plane however was because of the introduction of Orbx TrueEarth, although that technology is a bit more accessible in X-Plane today through various add-ons. Without the TrueEarth scenery unfortunately it's a deal breaker as although the flight model was fun and better in places than MSFS (but not in all cases) my preference for GA flying, I just couldn't cope with the default X-Plane scenery.

Nicely constructed review, thanks!! Subbed.

As an XP fanboy I had the same difficuity getting used to MSFS key assignments and camera controls. I totally agree about mod fatigue, and I've given up trying to make simheaven not stutter my sim especially in heavy urban areas so nowadays I use only Autoortho and accept the fact that building and forests are not perfect. I would say 12.1 is a step in the correct way, but it is a long way to come still.

I just watched your latest video and sorry you felt that way. I know that feeling totally. But dont call it quits, you just havent found the right niche and communicate that effectively. (Kudos for not trying to do clickbaits though)

13:42 Alright buddy. We know you pulled a tail strike right there. We're not gonna let that slide lol 😅

Xplane just feels so much nicer to fly. Taking off and landing in msfs feels so jarring and twitchy, as if the plane has no inertia, it all feels fake. What about the CFD??? An actual real time CFD simulation would require tons of computing power. The one put into the sim is so dumbed down and low fidelity, its just there for marketing. Its easy to point to it and say, look! its an advanced flight model! yet the results are poor, the feeling of flight is artificial. Xplanes flight model provides great results for a home desktop sim.

Mfsf is for people who care about eye candy first then simulation second and xplane 12 is for those who care about simulation first then graphics second. Always has and always will be. Kinda like Boeing and Airbus. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Your money, your choice.

Good ,keep gaming with MSFS. XPLANE has been always a niche simulator ,and I hope it ll keep always like that ,for simmers.

So sad to see you go, I loved your videos. Take care good sir!

Thank you for explaining why you were quitting, I think you had a very good reason for it and I fully understand. Good bye, thank you for making me laugh from time to time and that last sentence at the end was just pure gold 😂.

I just showed a friend on his discord your video. After your video got to the FAA cert part. He banned me. I stick to the XP fanbase being a group i still avoid

Just saw that you're stopping RUclips. Wanted to let you know your channel had quickly become one my favourites. Your videos were well researched, informative and funny. That trade show looked pretty boring aside from the MSFS 2024 presentation (which has now restored my faith in it's features). Enjoy your flight simming and uninstalling XPlane. Take care o7

I've loved both Xplane and MSFS and even other flight sims, such as aerofly FS for as long as they've been around pretty much. Once FSX was getting really long in the tooth, I naturally became an XPlane user, as there really was nothing else to scratch my flightsim itch. For me flightsimming is about real feeling airplanes, but also for a large part about scenery that represents reality as much as it can. Xplane really started becoming my default sim since version 10 came out, There were new and exciting developments, and version 11 was even better, With a bunch of ortho and dem data, it can me made to look awesome. Of course 12 would've been awesome, if it weren't for the fact that MSFS came out, which instantly made XPlane look dated, Initially however, Xplane still had the upper hand in physics. But for me that's only part of the equation, so I still preferred MSFS. A few times a week there also these really fun group flights with the likes of TwotoneMurphy, The flying Fabio, etc. There's just nothing like that for Xplane. I'm sure that with the right amount of addons and stuff, you can appoximate the way Xplane looks compared to MSFS, but as demonstrated in this video, getting all that to work is a hobby all to itself.. something I've just about had enough of. I hope Laminar manages to streamline all that in one awesome product that you can just run and have fun. Now with MSFS 2024 on the horizon, Xplane is back to square one with the catchup game again. I really hope they manage to somewhat keep track, because competition is only good for us!

Are u talking about Flight Dynamics ... Can I ask you how many real hours do you have and how many acft did u flew in your life?

I use both sims and have spent much more time in MSFS until recently with XP12.1 and the one thing that shocked me jumping back into XP is just how much BETTER default airports look in XP compared to non custom made airports in MSFS that even lack any form of apron flood lighting at night and are completely dark. Yes MSFS does lots of visual things better than XP but not everything and I hope MSFS 2024 has better default airports. Also the scenery SDK in MSFS is an absolute pain where as editing a default airport in XP is super easy and straight forward. I HOPE MS/ASOBO improve this aspect.

Nice video! I highly recommend you check out the MFG Crosswind V3 if youre looking for some solid rudder pedals.👍

Value again, packing a lot in a single video! In a way, MSFS is providing a simple solution for arcade and 'deeper' flightsim. I tossed a lot of money into XP11 and checked XP12 to rediscover that ratio of time invested in making the sim look realistic to time to fly is probably 2.5 : 1.

Wow ! Something worse than MSFS 2020....

Pretty soon you won’t have to install ortho and ortho 4 and ortho this and that and sim heaven and sim hell X plane will be incorporating orthos and Microsoft type satellite imagery in X plane this year Your installation efforts were noble and will be recorded in the history books So around Q4 the updates will be instituted into the main program like MSFS I think X plane got some hard knocks by people but they weren’t looking at the long term plans of Laminar MSFS may be a final product but x plane will continue to evolve over time. Not X plane 13 and 14 but continual updates to the base program The only problem x plane has now is trying to get companies to write for them. Everybody ran to MSFS and dropped X plane, now watch these same guys drop MSFS and run to MSFS 2024 At least X plane has Toliss and X Aviation in their corner. Airfoillabs is good too

Bruh, at this point XP fanboys are just living in denial!! Was an XP user since XP10 and MSFS is just light years ahead of XP and no it’s not just in the eye candy department.

I transitioned from Xplane to MSFS to avoid having to do this anymore. The ridiculous amount of space I need with crap to make the game look better is silly. I’m long done with it now.

I am so glad I am not picky over scenery.

X-Plane fanboy here. For me it was just the other way around ;-) Keyboard shortcuts are so engrained in our brains. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. I run a physical simulator with loads of custom hardware, so I depend on good software interfacing, which X-Plane excels at. I still have a regular look at MSFS, because apparently the API (SimConnect) is being developed further, but progress appears slow.

as always, nice review, yeah i just tried out MSFS2020 and i have to say, I'm now attracted to it although i will probably start using it after i move away from my HD 620 graphics 😅

I own active sky. But. Flight simulation is also about immersion. Active sky's horrible clouds and my-little-pony-kind-of-like rainbows kill immersion imo. What is the point of having realistic winds, turbulence and such when you have to look at those clouds and ludicrous rainbows? I regretted purchasing active sky almost right away. The only people I noticed enjoying those clouds are the geriatric trolls from avsim. Two words come to mind when I think of active sky. One is gross and the other one is shove.

Do you actually fly in real life? You stated that xplane only has a slightly better flight model in certain situations - but the MSFS flight model is so terrible it completely knocked me out of shape for when I fly in real life, even had to go around once. xPlane's flight model is better in every aspect, MSFS doesn't even simulate airflow its all faked

After the latest MSFS update stutters are a thing of the past (finally!)...I watched an old P3D video I filmed when I first got my i9 9900k and the stuttering was horrendous, that was considered good at the time!

Having used Xplane 11, which I especially enjoyed when an Ultralight Gyrocopter came out, which flew exactly like gyro pilots who also were simmers told me it would, I remember the pain of going thru everything you did but once I had everything done, in ways it was more entertaining than MSFS is, especially flying over Arizona. Nonetheless, I feel MSFS, which I only run on an Xbox S, has so much content I enjoy, except for modeling copters and gyrocopters in a less authentic way then I feel Xplane does, in fact there is only one Gyro which I did not even buy knowing that some gyros can land in less than 25 feet. Your video is excellent. I would never tell someone not to buy Xplane. Only reason I do not use it anymore is my old computer died when lightning hit the corner of my apartment building and even killed my fridge. I did salvage its hard drive, but I decided when MSFS 2020 was announced that I would stay with one sim, if it fulfilled its ortho promises which it did. It only is poor when it comes to mesh in places like Guilin China or Angel Falls, near Venezuela and no third party has ever done anything for those places in Xbox. I had good freeware mesh for P3D for Angel Falls which I wanted because I flew there as a tourist in '90 in a twin piston engine Cessna Titan airliner.

Great video.. Like you i have always been loyal to MS Flight Sims but i have had some curiosity about whats on the other side of the fence. this just confirms my thoughts.

Xorganizer works. I used to manually do this until i got it. As for updates, if you have betas checked, every beta available you will be notified

Yeah, I'm financially challenged. As a long time X plane user, I dumped it. Even though I do own X plane 12 and 1 airplane. I just could not justify the financial burden of trying to maintain both Sims. So I had to make a choice. I went with Microsoft Flight Simulator because all the add Ons that I have purchased will carry over to Microsoft flight simulator 2024. Whereas the X plane ecosystem since X plane 10 for me anyway. Every time there Is a new version I have to rebuy my aircraft all over again if you want them to Function at their best possible fidelity. Sadly, as desktop aviators it locks us into a box. unless, of course, you've got the financial means to carry both Sims. Looking forward to FS2024. Cheers.
