      Still blows me away. In the decades of messing with the MSFS releases...and "pretending" to fly over my home..which has no detail. Now..in 2023. I can take the Astro One and hover over my home, it LOOKS like my home, the neighborhood, the local stores/businesses--- and it literally looks 99.9999% of what my DJI drone captures. Mind boggling. Even with Live Traffic turned on, setting "drone camera" to my front lawn, then look up..seeing the AI planes above me at 10-15K ft...same exact flight path from what I actually see all day and night. Now I know from MSFS these planes, most of them are heading to Liberty / Newark Intl. Airport.

      Laminar Research have done remarkable well. But you can flip that around too. Asobo are new to flight simulation and yes they had the FSX code to fall back on but were under pressure to evolve the sim in the best way, they've done well although the early bugs which plagued the sim have taken a lot time to eradicate and I think that's there lack of experience in flying was the culprit but is being addressed.

    XP - needs fine-tuning on your own (ortho4XP + X-World = free, but takes some time) - then it comes close to MSFS appearance.
    MSFS - it's very beautiful out of the box, but there are no extras to improve the physics and real feel of the flight, ground physics, etc (except maybe the A2A 250 Comanche, which rejected the MSFS engine).

      The flight physics argument is an interesting one. Many advanced aircraft in MSFS have flight physics modelled independantly, so you can't really say it's a limitation of the sim. It's how 3rd party devs got holicopters in the sim before they were officially supported by the SDK.

      @@dtrjones OK. Airplanes, as such, are sometimes well modeled (few)

      And that's what MSFS can't beat for now.
      Landing with a crosswind, ground physics... And recent improvements in XP12 (which has many other flaws ;-) ) - landing flares are perfect. Anyone who has flown in the real world sees how big the difference is in the "feeling" of the plane in XP and MSFS. XP has no chance to compete in terms of views and representation of the world, but the simulation engine is becoming more and more perfect, unfortunately leaving MSFS behind.
      Two different approaches, everyone chooses what suits them and what they expect at a given moment. We are not stuck with just one flight simulator ;-)

I think at the snail pace of XP12 gets developed, MSFS 2024 will completely put it out of non-professional use. They said so themselves on Q&A's - they are pivoting to professional use, for FAA approval to be used in private flight schools in USA. This would explain the seemingly insane price increase to $80 for "regular" version. They know they can't compete for the "casual" home simmer market.

And the engine out above the airport I did my best glide speed pattern, then killed hight aiming for the runway beginning not for the displaced threshold marking which was 500ft further in. But in both instances he saw that I did it flawlessly and on purpose, so I passed. 😊If you allow me a hint. When you know which plane you will have your check flight on, invest an hour or two to fly with this plane and do nothing but traffic patterns and some light airwork close to stalls and best glide with engine in idle. No simulator can give you the feedback like the real thing does. Always blue skies and safe landings!

    I'd like to see landing gear touchdown better rendered in the future versions of both sims. The touchdown, just the landing gear touching down on the runway, is perfectly rendered on X-Plane, but the spoilers effect is little compared to reality. On MSFS, the touchdown effect is poor and the spoilers effect inexistent. The touchdown and the spoilers effect, and the dynamic effects of those on the plane as a whole, are very noticeable in real life.

    Which VFR flight simulator is best? X-Plane or MSFS2020? They say MSFS2020 is better because they use satellite maps for the earth's surface. accordingly, the detail and reliability are higher.

    I ´m from Neuquen, Argentina. MFS2020 recreated the city 70% well and I say 70% because the system cannot recognize tall buildings. It's strange because in the nearby city they do have them. It put them very low and they are actually taller. I had to switch to google maps because it looks very greenish. Haaaaaa
    On the Xplane 11 it didn't even look similar. But the street´s demarcation was clearer than in MFS2020.
    Another thing I forgot to mention is they didn't place the aeroclub, sadly....

    MSFS2020 shows definitley the best details of the landscape, towns/city (river was for me exactly the same, like the real one, the islands are perfect placed. Only the color of the water is a bit to dark. In X-plane I couldn't see after the lake where is water, where forest. Which is actually very worse, for a program exists much more longer then the MSFS. But X-Plane has the focus always on the aerodynamic and cockipts. Their goal is to represent the behavior of the aircraft as accurately as possible. But then I ask myself why they still can't get the landscape to fit. It's definitely much more difficult to simulate the flight behavior than everything else. Something must be possible. If the performance is no longer sufficient, you can reduce the details again. I see no problem for a simulator is since so many years on the market. Also they got very good employers, can do this fast. Specially with the satellite data they got already a perfect"tool" they got nothing to change, except the colors, which are already a problem. But thats not a work needs years to fix. The buildings, streets, landscape etc are already there where they belong.

    So, in looking at some older videos from FS2004, FSX in 32-bit, this model flight characteristics wasn't noticeable. X-Plane is the 1st 64-bit flight sim pc application, to my knowledge. The difference in flight model characteristics has only become noticeable with MSFS. And, it's very hard to describe. X-Plane has more a dynamic and fluid movement feeling somehow. MSFS is an amazing development after Microsoft closing down the entire venture for a few years. P3D is hinting at converting to Unreal Engine and who knows, X-Plane 13 (*or 14?) might incorporate more realistic visual sceneries. And this industry is now about 30 years old and ... yeah, people can "fly" virtually and simming is full of fascinating twists and turns, including it's progress as platforms.

  • @scottstoll-dn2yx
    @scottstoll-dn2yx 5 месяцев назад

    This shows the focus of each sim accurately, meaning that the creator of X-Plane has been very vocal about the fact that X-Plane is focused on accurate flight modeling, not stunning visuals. MSFS is the other way around. Note the way the real plane and X-Plane have similar turbulence while MSFS flies along happily as if the air were glass smooth. I'm practicing for a license, and can confirm that X-Plane is better if you need to practice for real flying, but MSFS is great for pretty, and very accurate, scenery. (Neither is bad at visuals or flight modeling, but their focuses are different).

    I'm confused. I have both MS and XP and find on MS with 4K textures that more than average MS seems to be ahead on the graphics side. XP spent more time on the aircraft dynamics while MS had individual teams for both plane dynamics and overall graphics. Look, I don't work for either one. I'm a private pilot and practice on both depending on what I'm doing. Now if we break out to a gray area and look at the implementation of Google in MS, it's hands down. There is just no comparison. One more edit, sorry - if you notice in MS the streets are recreated with minor curves while XP is completly straight - like runways. That's my feeling, let me know if I'm wrong. (and I don't work for any of them - my honest opinion).

    Excellent video thank you..👌🙏 The reason why I chose Xplane is because it is so simple to add/remove content/add-on`s from the folder structures. I have to say I have not used MSFS 2020 but from my FSX days I can remember it sometimes being a mission to get add-on`s to work right the first time round. Not saying, of course that this is an issue with MSFS. Also agree with the comments here wrt XPlane not having as much resources as Microsoft have. With a bit of tweaking, I can run Xplane 11 on a low end laptop and still enjoy it. and it is by far more stable than what I can remember from the FSX days. Hardly a crash unless I did something stupid....

There were even trees growing on top of buildings. This problem is especially strong around KSFO (San Francisco) airport, if you look from the runways you can't even see anything except trees and trees.
