Pfft, there’s 16 fewer trees than the real life pic. When will big tech stop shortchanging the consumer and cutting corners it’s ruining meh immersion!

My wife and I debated on which was RL and which was MSFS. Thankfully the comments made it apparent in stating that if Asobo has upped the saturation on the greens it would be more of a match. But man it sure is still hard to tell. And the children in community jump on Asobo every chance, not remembering monochrome 4 inch CRTs and 8 bit sound that was SO immersive LOL. My have we come a very long way. Pray we leave those folks behind moving forward, but that is NOT realistic :frowning:

Thanks for sharing in my awe. :slight_smile:

My wife thought the upper picture was real. In the lower one she found the colors unnatural (sky blue, colorless trees), so the lower picture had to be from FS2020.

What does this tell us? Reality has a lousy graphics. :rofl:

So that justifies screwing up the software ?

No it was a sarcastic post sir. Due to the very strident minority here with no home training.

People don’t have to use every thread to cry. You can still have fun in life. Really. :slight_smile:

I think looking at a picture like this and comparing it is so crazy it’s unbelievable that anyone would care. Like I’ve always said in these posts, the problem with the sim in not the graphics or how many trees they forgot to add. The real problem with the sim is how the planes fly and how the ATC works and how the autopilots work on the “planes” because this is supposed to be a “flight simulator” first and a graphical marvel second. I doubt that any real simmer have any issues with the graphics, however, I feel that this is something gamers will complain about. Maybe this it’s just me, but I feel complaining about a few missing trees out of billions of trees around the world seem so petty.

Was mumbled above? This is not about ATC, autopilot etc. Take your salt shaker away again. :roll_eyes:

Posts like these add nothing to the discussion.

My test. From the lookout at Pine Creek, Grand Canyon of PA.

Bicycle weekend in 2018


MS2020 Drone from the same spot


Not as much of a ponder, definitely doesn’t look as nice as IRL. My biggest take is while flying down the creek, I rounded the corner and saw the exact camping site we spent the weekend at. While flying across NY following the Erie Canal, I could point to every place we ate lunch at and every hotel we stayed at and could follow the route we went through the bigger cities on the bicycle.

Not sure if you’re kidding or not but the image with higher saturation (i.e. the top image) is from MSFS.
