[OFFICIAL] Real vs. Sim Screenshots

Absolutely incredible how well MFS simulates the entire world. It’s not perfect, but it’s still incredible and will only get better!!

Dam, Amsterdam with the Royal Palace


I took the same image, applying a LOD scaling trick presented here. It gives me 1 FpS instead of 4 FpS (screenshot=Ultra) but it does show some subtle photogrammetry improvements ! In below image, the clearest effect is much better windows in the Rokin building behind the palace. The rest of the city looks better too… but you’ll certainly pay in FpS. My settings in UserOpt.cfg were 5.0 for the terrain LOD scaling, instead of the usual 2.0 for Ultra.

Departed KDVT, over the Loop 101 freeway looking East. I-17 / L101 freeway interchange in the foreground, McDowell Mountains in the background. Four Peaks is beyond that, visible in the image shot from the airplane, but not really defined in MSFS as they are basically about 45 miles out from this point.

@Fmgc320 Dude, that is frickin’ amazing! Not perfect, but who in the hell would even notice, I suspect probably not even someone intimately familiar with the are would see the differences.

Just came back from a holiday in southern France and thought I could share some comparison screenshots. As you can see I’m not much of a photographer and the quality of some of the photos is really bad. I still thought it might be interesting to see how these places look in the sim.

That last screenshot - I noticed the cell tower in the image. Do we have these now? don’t think I’ve every seen one!

It’s most likely part of the “We Love VFR - Region 2” addon at Flightsim.to
