[OFFICIAL] Real vs. Sim Screenshots

Wow, at first glance I really thought the one at the bottom was the real one. Okay, I was on my mobile phone, but still, it‘s astonishing how real this sim can look.

Done for the bond screenshot challenge. LFIP in the Pyrenees

Pretty awesome realism of Toronto Harbour taken from a Cessna flying just above the Weston Harbour Castle Hotel looking west at the City Island Airport (Billy Bishop Airport)

Taken while dining in the restaurant at the top of the Weston Harbour Castle Hotel looking at the same island airport around summer of 2013

The Pilatus “Porter”, PC-6 real and simulated:

I took the following photo in 1966 at Danang AB, Vietnam. At the time, it was still in the colors of its first owner, Sweden, as it had only recently been sold to Air America - an element of the CIA.

Here is the MSFS “Game of the Year” version in an Air America livery developed by “Nutkinthe3rd” at Flightsim.to:

If anyone is interested in any of my other 100s of actual aircraft photos that I took in Vietnam in 1965 and 1966, they are available at: Da Nang Air Base: January 4th, Introduction & Overview (danangafb.blogspot.com)
