Here’s a comparison of screenshots and photos taken on two flights a few weeks ago. I apologise for the poor quality of some of the photos, especially those taken at night (they are from a video).

This is exactly what will keep me with MSFS even after X-Plane 12 releases… This will never be achievable in X-Plane. Awesome screenshots :smiley:

edit: I mean natively, sure it’ll be available through 3rd party sceneries but not natively for the whole world !

I recently flew x-plane after a long absence as I have been 100% MSFS2020 and no comparison! the only thing I liked about X-plane was the pop out panels (flying on a Mac via steam). Just wish Xbox had a way of doing the panels. Agreed, great screenshots!

Another year, another summer, another adventure - this time spanning 4 regions. Feel free to check out my previous posts for even more comparisons.

1440p MAX graphics, with over 1.5TB worth of addons. These comparisons are the ultimate limit in MSFS vs IRL.

As usual: date/weather/time synced as best as possible when possible. Post process editing done to match colour/lighting.
