Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS2020) vs Real Life | Landing in Gatwick UK
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2020
- Today's Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS2020) vs real life comparison is a landing at Gatwick Airport in the UK. See how the flight simulator/ MSFS2020 uses bing maps to generate the ground textures and builds as we arrive on runway 26L. I hope you enjoy this wing view/windows seat MFS 2020 vs real life video, thanks for watching!
Massive thanks to Daniel for sending me the real life footage!!

Huge thanks to Daniel for sending me the real life footage! Thanks everyone for watching, check out a takeoff comparison from Orlando here: ruclips.net/video/LqpOGSq8KXE/видео.html or pick from my other vids, links are in the description!
Glad everyone is enjoying the video I supplied! Had to bloody quarantine for two weeks after returning from Spain :( anyway apologies for the shaking. I tried my best to keep the phone still but we had pretty serious turbulence.
They also forgot the traffic jams you get on that m23 🤣 jokes aside... this is absolutely fantastic. Great video.
Can i FLy and land an F18, into the PARCEL island in SOUTH CHINA SEA?
How the heck?
I believe planes do not fly. How could they?
this game has really taken it to the next level. Instead of comparing it to other games we're comparing it to real life.
this game has been in development in one way or another for decades and has the word "Simulator" firmly placed in its title with every version released. I've always compared Microsoft flight sim to real life, why would you compare a simulator to another game lol.
@@coleomo There isn't even that much of a difference that's the mind blowing idea. Realistic physics, systems and yet astonishing graphics. That's not seen very often in games to public access
If only there were better fog, wind effect on plane.. I wouldn’t be able,to tell the differenxe
@@hereitsnick2069 reflections definately make it look like a gamr
Got higher resolution thsn the real world
Real life needs an graphics upgrade to catch up to fs 2020
Haha...that’s super funny
@@wingletproductions I don't know if you're being sarcastic or actually laughing but ok... ಠ_ಠ
@thiagofunny2020 cabral mmmmh i think fs20 is more realistic
Underrated
“iTs eVeN mOrE rEaLiStIc tHaN rEaL lIfE”
Imagine 20 years from now. We'll be popping out of VR to play real life!
i REALLY hope that that doesnt happen but with people like Elon Musk you just cant be sure
@@4tbf616 elon has plenty of stupid ideas but VR is not one of them. that's mark zuckerberg's thing
It won't work just like flying cars
Already been done in a film with Bruce Willis
@@mothiurNCLI completely forgot about “surrogates”
I flew over my town and it was pretty surreal how close they got it. A lot of buildings were not technically correct, like it thought my row of town houses was a warehouse.
unreal... with a bit of fog effect on the sim and some stabilization on the real one you wouldnt be able to tell without close examination
The reflections :S
Need Ray tracing tech
The corrolary, add some sharpie lines to the real engine seams and on a clear day with no turbulence and it'd be hard to tell. It's so close. I hope they dont sell this to dovetail and we end up with $3000 dollars of "dlc" in a year.
The buildings are so fake in FS2020, that needs a lot more then fog to hide it.
@@Greali hm its just one dome light source with (nearly) infinite distance
I think it would be possible with classical baking of the reflection.
very close to the ground or to the clouds RT will be more and more important.
but I'm not CG expert
Real life needs an update, the textures seem off. It's a tad bit too shaky too., the camera needs to be fixed.
I heard it’s getting a patch soon
stutters
Please increase the contrast
Idk why but the sim looks way better
@@argsaviation6312 yes, coming 2021. I think they must have tested some of it in 2020, it seemed a bit more glitchy than usual
Why does real life look less like real life than the ones that's not real life
Because your real life simulator is older than our new one, we have better tech now than God did, coming to a new world near you..
Well real life was filmed using a shitty camera
because most of your life is gaming?
i, otoh, noticed simulator didn't land at all, no noises, no bump, norhing...perfect landing?
yeah.
once on the ground, people would be all wrong, motion, faces....you know, just like in games....
and they'll never get it right, no matter cpu/gpu power....they can't recreate reality....
Bad camera quality duh
Metaverse
To me, the fact you can put yourself in the cockpit of a 'true to life' airplane and bring it into land at any airport in the world in the comfort of your living room blows my mind. The possibilities really are endless.
For 5 seconds my brain thought: left is real
Lol same
Games have evolved way better through the couple of years
Wait, isn't it?
@@romulot.4186 lol, was goin' to write the same comment 😁

Best comment, dude!!
@@jesusguardon thank jesus, amen
that's so true in certain situations
Lmao
I'm just yelling from English-speaking idiots who squeak from supposedly realistic graphics! Are you blind or dumb? It can be seen how unfinished graphics simulator!
1. The forest area is absolutely unrealistic - and since it takes up 90% of visibility, it spoils everything terribly! In real life, we DO NOT see individual trees in the forest - they merge together and create a homogeneous array of leaves. Just a green hat (haze). But to which all the laws of chiaroscuro apply! It has highlights, midtones and shadows! The fools at Microsoft couldn't even do that! Although it is much easier for computer rendering! Less video card and processor resource!
2. Roads without lane markings and also cars are almost invisible on them. The roads seem to be molded from pieces of asphalt, but the roads are not pieces, they are a whole part.
3. There are no LARGE road signs on the roads - we see them as LARGE blue planes. We do not take into account small signs.
4. Water is completely different! In Sim visible ripples on the water! in real life - it is not!
5. As already pointed out here, the lack of aircraft shaking is stupid.
6. We see a huge difference in the 3D model of the engine and its real appearance! Completely different! No highlights in the sim, no rivets, different shape, too thick seams of parts! Some stupid inscriptions "No step"?!?!
7. Completely different fog (clouds). Too uniform in Sime and uneven in real life! Nearby clouds are visible in chunks when flying through them. How the pieces fly by! In Sim - just stupid uniform smoke.
For fools who admire the accuracy of the terrain in the sim! This is a procedural generation based on SATELLITE PHOTOS!!! The merits of designers are NOT here!
It looks so real, I cannot believe how this game has developed within the years. Nice taste of flying while sitting behind a desk.
Man! I miss bumping up the graphics and flying, good times. Landscapes are amazingly accurate now too!
Can't believe Real Life managed to copy Microsoft Flight Simulator
It’s shot with a lower quality camera
Yeah, really! The guy got in an airplane with a turbine that is a pretty close model of the one on the Sim and set in a window that had the same perspective of the perspective chosen by Flight Sim., made the same trip and flew on the side where the view and height match the 'sim approach', where the tower cleared the pilot to land on the runway where the guy making the video was expecting. And all this time holding (probably) a cell phone! This is a master's job!
someone's gonna miss this joke
@@thatoneguy7451 I checked the replies to see if someone did😂
@@DefDev o
That moment when game is more realistic that actual real life.
And with a softer landing😆
True
With the exception of the water reflections
I skipped to the la ding part and it took me a bit to realize what was real
LoL what are you talking about 😂
It's incredible how accurate the game is in terms of the flight experience, because your PC simulates the noise of the turbine! 10/10
It's fascinating to see crop rotation and how it's changed what is in the fields between the game bring developed and the real life version.
That is incredible, I cannot get over how even the farm fields are the same shape in this simulator as they are in real life. Holy cow!
They used satellite and aerial photography to generate the terrain. It's pretty darn impressive for sure.
And if you watch closely the land is alternated in colours because it needs to rest after haverst, so the one next to it is used for production. Gives a nice feeling of realism too, like landing on a different part of the year. I know it's because the sattelite feed took the photos on different moments in time, but still!
@@GranadaFelish Too many people neglect crop rotation these days. You're right it's very important to leave filds fallow and its nice to see agricultural practices represented in the simulator. I couldn't agree more.
That AI did a splendid job.
Mooo. The cows agree.
To be fair, the real life camera has to look through glass.
At last an intelligent observation
and it's not the best camera either
In the next 5 years this will be an option in the graphics settings i bet.
@@berzerk1450 Actually the in game footage can be through a window (just not from this view). It's difficult to see but occasionally when the light catches it you can see smudges and scratches!
No
These vibrations when you're landing, when added, will make this game PERFECT
The sinchronicity of the 2 landings is also impressive
Incredible!
Flight sim does looks very good
I missed your comment haha! Your channel is amazing, been watching since the first few Skiathos vids!!
Hmm
Just incredible!
666th like xd
Real life: control tower
Microsoft FS: that’s an apartment complex.
Every barn = 4 story building.
Actually no. The flight aim landing touched down earlier on the runway. If you wait 4 or 5 seconds you then see Flight Sim pass the same building.
@@mr8I7
Every building in real life = bArN
Yeah. Everything looks so real, but the buildings... small ones are gigantic... huge houses are small... if they could improve this...
@@selnor1983 dude what are you talking about? Almost every building on the FS feed was interpreted as some sort of office/apartment building. LoL.
Although I’ll have to correct myself that’s not a flight control tower but some sort of radar or NDB mast.
MSFS even got the tree lines and field shapes right that impressive!
It’s actually nuts. Cool video 🤙🏼
Didn't know our real world is made by Ubisoft.
Mars map expansion coming soon
@@TropicalTech2 WHATDEFOK
More like Blizzard 🤣🤣
@@fbidenflagguy
At least it's not Bethesda
@@fajaradi1223 imagine all the bugs we can exploit if it was though
in conclusion, perfection is imperfection
Pobody's nerfect
I like how the Sim version is concerned about my safety and the safety of the fan cowls more than real life.
Excellent
Just got msfs today after ages of wanting it and I can't tell you how happy I am
Plot twist: Right one is Microsoft flight simulator on low graphics.
Lol
This game is vfr flight sim thats it ( so far)
Glad everyone is enjoying the video I supplied! Had to bloody quarantine for two weeks after returning from Spain :( anyway apologies for the shaking. I tried my best to keep the phone still but we had pretty serious turbulence.
Das yu
:) Thank you for your contribution :) And I hope you'll got out good from it.
I thought you were gonna crash honestly. everyone's too busy coming up with a "Sim looks more real than reality" comment to notice it seems
Cheers, great footage nonetheless
I can appreciate the G-forces of real life jerking the camera around. You did fine! We're still a long way from simulating everything.
That’s awesome, great video.
Crazy that it's actually more aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable to watch the FS version
When the plane touched down, I realised the audio was from the sim.
Yeah why does the touchdown sound like a meteorite impact?
@@101Xander Because there's plenty of simmers who complain about the lack of aural feedback.
default msfs sounds are somewhat irritating especially the airliners. All those roaring fan sounds are gone. There should be soundpacks in near future.
Also, there's a way to have different audio. You can set sound to simulated headphones in the sound settings, and it should give a more realistic approximation.
@@charlie7mason can you share the right composition for headphones? Thks
Imagine games in 10 or even 20 years from now
We'll be in the realm of total simulation at that point.
If we aren't already. . .
They will look like real life or even better.
@@iinRez yeah maybe we all forgot we already are in a simulation or how to exit it and started making simulations inside the simulation
@@alf3071 If last year was a simulation I want out!
@@alf3071 . . . which locked out the Admins and now they're in panic mode pulling plugs and forcing hard resets (Hence all the wackiness).
It's only a matter of time until they resort to the E.T. protocol and try to restart the calendar again.
What an era we have reached that video games has better graphics than real life. Damn imagine that being possible in the 2000s
No way. Wow. Bravo creator 👏🏼
It is undeniably absolutely fantastic. But it’s also hilarious when the game generates office buildings in the middle of wooded areas 😂
Bro. I work in a 45 story office building. It's 27 miles from civilization. You have to hike 2 miles from the parking garage in a nearby cornfield. Totally normal.
@@matt1975ification 😂😂 Not what I’d call totally normal.
Cheese maker Matt... If you work in a cheese factory then yes, it's totally normal lol
Considering they extract the building from a satellite photo of the roof... and they need to fill in the gaps for a huge area with many thousands of buildings... I think they did pretty well. It will be interesting if their AI gets smart enough to incorporate street view images to get a better idea of the sides of the buildings... Or maybe just hook some cameras up to real airplanes landing at various airports and automate the data conversion from that...
Those buildings are going to happen, real life just didn't get the update yet
There was a moment just before the touchdown with a body of water and I thought "the simulation doesn't look as good as real life footage" and then I realised I was actually referring to the real life footage.
Lmao
@@waviation9 Lmao
Lmao, is overly used.
@@waviation9 olo
@@kdymyt how can that be overused wth thats like saying the word "the" is overused
WOAH THE FIELDS ARE PERFECT
How freaking cool is that!!!
Obviously they need to work on camera shake to make it 'as real as it gets'
Well, if you stop and think that in fs The camera would be fix on the airplane and in the real on a person is holding making the vídeo more shakhy you can pass that, but a little bit more shake in fs would be really Nice for footage.
In real life there wouldn't be a camera it would be your head
Either that or fly on a plane that doesn't move all over the place like that.
Typically when on a plane the landings are just smooth without all that going up and down as we're approaching
I dont know about that camera shake in a video game would be very annoying.
Right side: real life
Left side: better than real life
That's actually impressive. I never realized how unrealistic the real world is 😁
Fake! It's all done with CGI!
I knew I had been playing to many VGs inside one day when I stepped outside and seeing the clouds thought "Those clouds are really low quality".
Then I remembered it's real life and realized I had been staring at too many virtual skies.
When I was a kid, I had MS Flight Simulator on a laptop. Did this very thing flying into New York. Was magical childhood memory in the 1990s.
oh that rocks. thanks for this
So... Reality has lower quality graphics than a simulator
Reality is better, the game just makes it look fancy to overcompensate
@@litcostello1223 no shit
@@juanencabo3084 well I checked and excriment is actually not in the game so u are correct from that viewpoint
@@litcostello1223 wrong
Holly cow!! That was amazing. Ironically accuracy dipped when at the airport. Great job.
This is fantastic. I like the real life cold sense of touch on the engine but If I saw it in game I'd be like , graphics ain't that sharp lol. Really interesting video. Thanks.
That’s really quite impressive, both the simulator and the flying
Coming from the days of fs4, E6b's to now, is utterly fantastic. Being a real world pilot, and now,having to relegate myself to MSFS, due to age and health is heaven sent. I wish I would' ve had a PC and this software when I went through flight training. I experienced all the growing pains of MSFS, hailed freeware scenery designers and the endless hours of pure joy navigating from point A to point B. Also I must admit to firing up the extra 300 and threading the needle to blow off steam.
A bit of unsolicited advice: ENJOY! P.S. Thanks for the Vid.
That was the biggest game of spot the difference I've ever played.
You mean Sim
@@AdamMi1 still a game
I legit had a hard time figuring out which was real. This has to be one of the most ambitious & beautiful games I have ever seen.
The water is absolutely amazing in the sim. Wow!
how do you watch your landing from passenger view? I know you can put passenger view while flying but how do I rewatch my flight on passenger view?
I used the AI to land the plane whilst recording from this view and for the take-off vids I flew from the window view! The AI is very touch and go (sometimes literally) when it comes to landings and take-offs though so this took a few attempts. Thanks for watching!
@@TropicalTech2 that’s cool. Can you tell me what does Al stand for?
@@TOPNOTCHIDIOTS It's the artificial intelligence, like autopilot but made by the developers of the game that allows it to take control of the plane.
TT2 this game has an auto pilot?
@@isaacsrandomvideos667 Well it has autopilot as aircraft do, but it also has the AI control. It's as if there is someone flying your plane.
I spent decades working out of Gatwick - this sim is so good I was genuinely misty eyed. Yes there are a few issues, but they are minor. thank you for posting
That's cool as heck.
Nicely done :)
When I started playing MS Flight Simulator in 2006 I never thought this would be possible. Simple incredible!!!
What Asobo and Microsoft have created is simply amazing. Best simulator hands down. It's a dream come true for bush flying enthusiasts especially.
@Ean Elijah De Guzman FS2020 has a lot of mods and freeware available already. And new stuff is made available every day.
It is crazy how far games have come, but what is also noticeable is that there still is a lot of room to improve.
It's crazy how the field that are green in the simulator are barren in real. Showing that there's a different season in the simulator where the farmers of the respective fields have alternating crop cycles.
that, or it's old gps data
I think the matrix is really in our future.
or our past, remember it was based on the peak of human civilization, you'd never know
The sim definitely needs more wind buffeting and wheels touch down effect, that is the biggest indicator as to which is real and which is the game. FS2020 looks great but the flight is unnaturally smooth compared to real life.
@Olivares Meneses I understood everything because I'm Italian but deberías hablar en inglés
It would look that smooth in real life, the shake is because the camera is shaking.
You could make the wind stronger and more gusty in the FS...
If the wind conditions matched the real landing then they need more buffeting though ;)
Game needs to make the wing bend like it does irl
@@FreziS The wing does flex in the sim
Room for improvement yet super impressive at the same time 👍
Good lord that's one hell of a good simulator!
Surprised Microsoft’s flight simulator is so detailed, in fact in some bits it’s even more detailed than real life
That doesn't make it closer to reality tho
@The Dragonlord I dont think its the camera. In reality if you get far away from an object it losses detail because of several factors like humidity or air pollution etc
@@thanoskrystall1883 That is accounted for in the simulator as well. The biggest difference I see is the lack of dynamic range in the original video. Simulator is very HDR. 😁
@@thanoskrystall1883 exactly there some unnessecary details in the game, but it is still the best graphics game !!
@@arunkp20 I believe that with a better camera you would indeed see more detail but computer simulation cant recreate reality up to 100%. In the end the game is awesome ofc.
For those who didn't understand the video: On the left we have real life and on the right Flight Simulator 2020
True
Is it not the other way around?
It was the opposite, left is the simulator. There are so many places you can tell. But one example pause it @1:37 the buildings are clearly cartoon looking. The light stick on the runway is a drawing. There are no landing tire marks on the runway, and no cracks. The buses in the back right are drawings, the grass is in only two dimensions (no vertical height, and so many other signs....including the runway signs are cartoon looking.
The two people above who missed the joke 👁👄👁
@@stephenstewart4710 r/woooosh
This game is insane. I really got surprised watching both real life and the flight simulation!
Red dead redemption 2 and MS Flight sim are the showcases of how far we came and I started with Pong a long time ago, amazing
We reached that point when the simulation has more resolution than the real world.
Finally ! The clouds in Flight Simulator 95 looked like concrete blocks. Its taken a while but we've come a long way since
Well real life was probably record on an IPhone 6 or so but with an HD camera a real comparison can be made.
consider two things:
- Low quality camera
- foggy window
@@Milky_Cum consider two things: sense of humour and the ability to recognise a joke ;)
@@Hdarg Dude i know its a joke. Im just addressing those two factors with that video although it's genuinely true xD
Very neat indeed! Thanks for sharing/setting this up👍😊
That’s amazing 🤩
Specular shading, surface reflections and subtle turbulence would make this perfect.
One example of vids that will be recommended again in the future
That's crazy. Think I might fly in the virtual world from now on it looks alot more appealing. Great line up brilliant 👏
That's incredible
Height of technology… hard to guess which part of clip is game and which one is in real, nailed it.
Although you can clearly tell the difference, the fact Asobo managed to get it that close is actually very impressive. There are obvious flaws in the building generation algorithm but as a first attempt this really is impressive stuff.
I've just realised this is the first proper attempt and its already so so so good I can't wait for the future lol
Seems like MSFS didn't recreate half the potholes on the runway.
Literally unplayable.
Sleazy Jet at its best! Christ he planted the front wheel 🤣😎
That is absolutely crazy
It's incredible to see just how far processing power (and software) have come in the last decade. If this is vanilla FS2020 then I'm amazed.
Flight Simulator isn't bumpy enough. It's actually pretty amazing how sensitive the plane is since you can see and feel the Pilot subtly jostling the stick around, or whatever you call it.
Well that's what I do, I jostle the stick around.
if you catch a good day, no turbulences, a good pilot and a steady hand, it would be really hard to tell the difference. My shots from landings are way more stable than this one.
It’s not the plane that’s bumpy, it’s the camera.
FS’ camera is attached to the plane, the IRL one is held by hand.
The camera you see on IRL’s in-flight screen is not bumpy either.
This might be one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen.
Amazing... Liked it
Great👌
Hoi

Right side: real life
Left side: better than real life
Just put FS2020 with Zoom together so we can still enjoy a business trip in between Zoom meetings.
Ammmmaaaaaazzziinggg!! 🤯🔥👌👌
The level of detail is out of this world! At some parts (beginning) the level of detail was higher than in the real world!
Amazing! Have noticed however that many buildings still appear as 1960s style office blocks including cottages and the hangers. But I guess over time they will be more realistic.
The game also rendered some fields as lakes too.
I love the way the M23 looks the same. Who needs maps, I’ll just follow the motorway down to Brighton haha!
Welcome to VFR! :)
Brighton isnt that hard to find, just keep going south until you hit the Channel and then find the hippiest city you can see
Thats honestly insane
Astonishing. A lot has changed since I played Forbidden Forest on a Commodore 64.
Got to admit that the level of detail is very impressive. The game looks spot on
Well TT2 I can't comment for every video~ but heck we like these vids a lot man
Kudos to Microsoft for such an impressive work! The image on the right is strikingly convincing - it nearly fooled me. However, upon closer scrutiny, it becomes clear that the left image is the authentic representation of reality.
SImply amazing
Live 3 miles from Gatwick. Hope they update Gatwick Airport soon far to many buildings. Plus two huge control towers. Love flight sim but being my local airport eager to get it more accurate. Thank you for sharing.
