How close is MSFS 2020 to the real thing?

I’m enjoying the sim and in places it looks glorious…

but…

I don’t think I’ve flown more than 20 miles without some sort of immersion spoiler. Popping terrain in the mountains, great tiles of darker/lighter textures on the plains, snow textures in the summer that Asobo have tried to disguise with a green tint, Popping textures on coastal cliffs, Servers that can’t deliver the PG consistently, too much dynamic range midday (like an over exposed photo) and blocks of flats on the sites of historic castles (a generic castle would be an improvement).

So visually there are times when it looks very lifelike and a lot of the time the immersion is ruined…A Curates egg.

I’ll stick with it for a while but I don’t think occasionally impressive eye candy is enough for lasting commitment.
