YouTube’s ‘Planes From Ground’ has shared a new comparison video between Microsoft Flight Simulator and a real-life landing of an A320 at WBKK. And, surprisingly enough, Microsoft Flight Simulator is closer to real-life than you might have guessed.
I’ve also included below other videos that compare Microsoft Flight Simulator with real life. Now the biggest issue I see with Microsoft Flight Simulator is its lighting system. Don’t get me wrong, MFS features an amazing lighting system (for video-game standards). However, the lack of Ray Tracing makes things look a bit unnatural. Of course when we say Ray Tracing, we mean the full suite of Ray Tracing features and not just reflections.
From what we know so far, Microsoft and Asobo are already working on adding support for DirectX 12. This DX12 will, hopefully, address the game’s major CPU optimization issues. And, let’s hope that Asobo will also consider adding Ray Tracing effects to it. The game also supports VR via its latest update.
Enjoy!

Impressive, if the simulated lights + atmosphere settings would have matched better and slightly better time sync between the sides its insane how far a simulator game have come considering its data sources (not that much handcrafted but rather mostly from 2d satellite images + topography maps)
Lackluster game with medicore graphics. Interesting but not great.

I smell your insecurity of your height, penis size, voice, and lack of testosterone from here.

I remember when flight sims like that were state of the art!
You do know this would make the sim install HUGE?
Even with some addons installed, and no internet mapping, the previous version and its sibling, PRepar3D can easily pass 300GB.
The game is almost prettier than reality.
Don’t get me wrong, the game doesn’t look bad at all, but it looks far from real life!
