I've been there ! - Reality vs 2020

The glory of this sim, of course, is it doesn’t cost £225 an hour, like our R22-Beta.

Anyone else got a pair of pics showing an actual flight (in anything, even if not flying yourself) vs the same scene in FS2020. So far, for me, FS2020 does the best job …

It is close but also exposed one weakness of MSFS scenery as I have seen in a lot of other places as well: the green-ish tone is too strong

yes noted i use the nvidia control panel to reduce digital vibrance by 10% really makes a diff.

Hmm I am going to try that

The mix and height of trees is all wrong though, that’s a gripe I have with FS. I dont care about it in areas I am not familiar with, it could be right for all I know but it really stands out like a sore thumb in places I am familiar with.

I agree with that! Hopefully they give us some options with trees in the future.

I think a lot of the extra trees should actually be bushes. The AI just isn’t smart enough to tell the difference!

Yes all those tiny plants in the foreground are huge trees in MSFS.

Wow MSFS bushes aside it’s pretty accurate. So your real picture was a while ago, the buildings near the lake are underconstruction in the photo but built up in the sim. The green hue in MSFS I don’t particularly like as it makes all locations look the same, I think that may be a Bing Maps issue though?
