Loved the route. Could see the JumboTron in T-Mobile when you flew the Seattle shoreline. Been doing lots of patterns at KPWT lately myself.

Great tutorial! But unfortunately i'm having a problem with my 550… after some time.. all the displays goes dark and i can’t do anything… only restarting the flight… and suddenly all that shi starts again

Really nice comparison. 67 years old retired glider pilot here...

Your g load could’ve increased without a significant airspeed change causing that little chirp right after rotation

Beautiful and amazing footage. Thank you for sharing.

thx. for sharing that review.

I don't think I've ever seen a nosewheel spinning while flying like that? If I had mobile cameras when I was in my 20's I would be insanely wealthy today. Hahaha

Something must've changed, because as of Jan 2025 I have no problems with cockpit visibility in XP12. But it used to be too dark in the past, I admit.

Great comparison, thank you!

Nice video. I haven’t been there in years. You might have mentioned the landing fees.

Good show

Dan gryder solved the Cooper mystery.Geyser deserves all the credit

Your flights remind me of my flying days in 821CX based at TIW and good Qso 146.520 with you this is KI7LBI.

Amazing view of St. Helens from above. Your front wheel bearings never get a break!

The lighting problems are easy to solve with the use of Reshade, there you could get the right balance. I consider that X-PLANE 11 has always been too dark, but with the Reshade tool or plugins it depends on the situation.

the distortion in the external camera view in MSFS depends on the field of view settings that you can control

X-plane 12 does a very good job but MSFS2020 plays in another league although the difference between them is lower than ever..

So you only care how it looks and not about physics or flight model. Got it. Music is annoying as well. I don't understand why people feel the need to put annoying music in the background. It's far too distracting.

What settings in XP11/12 for real world objects? What computer config? You find Orbx is worth it?

10:09 Was Montana deputy sheriff in 1980's. Flew out of Friday Harbor with my dangerous fugitive in tow. Was scared to death he was going to disrupt the pilot while in flight.Things went ok---but always remembered this prisoner extradition flight.

Flying KPWT to KFHR for dinner with wife is my goal! Or maybe Roche. Flew right over my house at 5:40.

KFHR my favorite airport to fly into while in the simulator! Plus my son lives in Seattle. Beautiful country.

How is this a fair comparison? MSFS 2020 was all outside the plane, and not a single cockpit shot.

It looked to me his right turn was too early and too shallow and as a result it was much more difficult to judge the turn to final. He never really entered the downwind in my view.

msfs 2024 is the winner

I don't know what is better, listening to the QSOs or watching the amazing views. 73

Awesome footage

I caught you on 10-10-24 about 7:00pm. I'll check the footage and thanks for posting. KK7LHD. 73'S

To be fair, MSFS is just simulating the use of a wide-angle lens for the exterior view, much like your RW GoPro (which produces an even more distorted image due to being a fisheye lens). The view from within the cockpit is what really counts for simmers anyway.

This is so awesome! My son and I drive by this runway often! I'm gonna get my license so I can take him flying. Our goal is to land at this airport 😂

Thanks for the enjoyable flight! I've always wanted to try Aeronautical Mobile back when I was flying low and slow in my old C-120. Looks like a lot of fun! Tell me, were you calling CQ on 146.52 Mhz Simplex or on a repeater? Either way, great response from the local hams. I stopped off at the KTIW airport diner last March when I came thru from my QTH in the DFW area. A very nice diner as I recall. Thanks and 73 de K5CMO.

I fish at Lake Laurence. Great video OM.

Nice ride, Bill. I grew up in Olympia and it is always nice to see Thurston County from a different perspective.

I'd say, in order to get ship attitude displyaed in synthetic vision, you need an attitude source (aka AHRS). And here your choices may be limited to some Garmin products (notably to Garmin ADSB-In receivers that also have an AHRS). It is not the ADBS-In data that creates the attitude view, nor would all ADSB-In receivers necessarily come with an AHRS. Having said this, the larger aero 760 seem to have an in-built AHRT that provides attitude information.

Xplane 12 lighting isn't a contrast issue, it's an "exposure" issue. Our eyes can adjust, the sim can't. Regardless, getting a Thumbs Up for running the voiceover through a plugin, for that GA intercom effect

It’s a good interface between Fireflight and AP

I'm watching on a 4k 60" monitor and none even come close to real world 4k. Maybe someday. Keep working developers!

Thanks for the outstanding demonstration. By chance did you have MSFS 2020 zoomed out a bit more than X-plane? Also, does MSFS require considerably more processing power than X-Plane, and have you noticed differences in the flight models? Many years ago I built a projector based sim in my hanger that used real aircraft and helicopter hardware and, and found that after MSFS 2002, and with MSFS 2004 and MSFS X, the flight models, became less realistic, especially with rotorcraft dynamics, and overall more like a video game that seemed to be carried over into 2020. I recall users complained about the 2002 version being too hard to fly and Microsoft saying they modified the model with 2004. With the help of a friend who was a rotocraft instructor I got pretty proficient flying helicopters in MSFS 2002 and was able to hover and fly an actual Enstrom F28F and R22Beta pretty well with about 40mis of transition time in the actual helicopters with no actual rotrorcraft time. As MSFS 2004 on were much less realistic as far a helicopter dynamics I doubt I could have done the same using the later versions. Having an realistic cyclic and collective and pedal controls and three projectors helped to detect the the subtle pitch and control input effects required to control a helicopter, something that computer joysticks and monitors don't really provide, and likely why the more realistic MSFS 2002 model was impossible for most to fly on a desktop computer.

For vfr flight there is no comparison. MSFS is way better. Flying dinamics kf XP11 maybe more fluid but overall MSFS is much better. Not yo mention that therecare realky stunning hand made airports all over tge eotld. The MSFS community develop stunning pay and free aitplane, airports efc etc. RL glider pilot here.

Thank you love /A. Well done. 73 . .

I notice that when you compare MSFS, the distortion comes from ZOOMING. You should show the 3 comparisons in the same manner. Not a fair comparison. Thanks for the video.

very nice

I keep hoping to hear you on 520!

I love the vents on the rear windows! Haven't seen that before.

If only you could get your antenna higher up. 🤣

Thanks for the great comparison on the two simulator programs! I'm considering building a flight simulator and would love to see how you've set up your system. Maybe an upcoming video?

For the real world, did you hold a camera out the window with some stick attachment? Otherwise can’t figure out how you did it.

Hope to make contact again

Hello there's a bias, because those from X-plane we don't see the plane, so it means you have the view inside the plane without the plane no great angle lens. And for MSFS2020 we see the plane so distortions are due to the lens. You can do a zoom to reduce the great angle effect. But the most important regarding physics model.

How fun it is to jump in your plane and fly out for dinner and fly back home! Sure beats being stuck in traffic! Heard you but you faded out by the time I saw an opening. 73
