Finally got to visit Megeve! But they were closed for the day already, and I was leaving that night. Next time, glacier landing!

That looks pretty realistic apart from the low poly cliff face! 
That is a great place to visit…been there many times…love the Conny she is grace in motion and my first flight ever as a passenger at 6 months old. Don’t remember it though…haha

Some shots from around Popham airfield, comparing with Burning Blue’s add on.
The photos weren’t 'technically ’ taken by me, but I did capture them myself from the airfield webcam and Google Street view. Please delete if this breaks the rules.

The MSFS Twin Otter has a different position because of bush tires. And this is a pre-SU12 screenshot, you know, snow on the runway…

I genuinely can’t tell - I think the top one is real. Maybe.

Definitely the top one is real, look at the wind ripples in the ponded water to the lower right of the shot…. Brrrr.

Excellent series to showcase the abilities of the sim! When you stop to think about it for a minute it is really incredible. Great job to replicate the original composition, framing, perspective etc.

Thank you! Yeah, so many comparisons in this thread are nearly indistinguishable from each other until you look really closely. My screenshots of the An-2 have a distinctive green tint and a lack in shadow contrast compared to my original photos, which is a bit of a tell, but many comparisons here are a dead ringer for the original. I can’t believe it myself, every time I fire up the sim.
We are truly blessed to have a sim like that at our disposal, along with truly talented aircraft devs, and we definitely complain a bit too much sometimes. Well, it’s because we care!

Awesome!
Regarding the green tint and shadow contrast, in case you have a nvdia card, did you try nvidia freestyle? If you play on VR like me, OpenXR toolkit companion is also a great solution to have more realistic tints. I typically remove some green and red, and add some blue, lower contrat a bit, and raise (lighten) shadows. This is a personal preference, focused on a more realistic terrain rendering.

That one only seems to work with the Steam version. I had no luck getting that to work with the MS Store version.
