My first contribution on the forums finally, and I guess a good way to start off is a real vs sim image from where I live.

Ok I had to desaturate the sim screenshot but the rest is as it is in the sim.

Nice. I initially thought Dart or Fal

Just chiming in to say that for me, this is one of the nicest threads in this whole forum. Thanks to everybody who has taken the time to create these great comparison shots with such accuracy.

Maybe I will try myself once I can fly again. As of now, Greenpeace is blocking my airport for the second day in a row, so unfortunately we cannot fly.

Yes I agree GhostlyFrend, always plenty to enjoy. Here’s a rework of this excellent photo on twittter X https://x.com/Platypuss_10/status/2040808733136277845 Enjoy!

This has to be the first time I’ve seen an MSFS shot that looked better than the real one. The Fenix livery is dirtier, plus it even includes the SATCOM which N605NK actually has – I guess the real shot is an older one…? Even the main gear door is more detailed than the real thing! Five stars to Fenix for this beast and congrats to you for this amazing shot!

Thank you! Yes, the real photo is quite old–taken way back in 2016, if I remember correctly.

Outstanding comparison in volume and quality!
