I fish at Lake Laurence. Great video OM.

Nice ride, Bill. I grew up in Olympia and it is always nice to see Thurston County from a different perspective.

I'd say, in order to get ship attitude displyaed in synthetic vision, you need an attitude source (aka AHRS). And here your choices may be limited to some Garmin products (notably to Garmin ADSB-In receivers that also have an AHRS). It is not the ADBS-In data that creates the attitude view, nor would all ADSB-In receivers necessarily come with an AHRS. Having said this, the larger aero 760 seem to have an in-built AHRT that provides attitude information.

Xplane 12 lighting isn't a contrast issue, it's an "exposure" issue. Our eyes can adjust, the sim can't. Regardless, getting a Thumbs Up for running the voiceover through a plugin, for that GA intercom effect

It’s a good interface between Fireflight and AP

I'm watching on a 4k 60" monitor and none even come close to real world 4k. Maybe someday. Keep working developers!

Thanks for the outstanding demonstration. By chance did you have MSFS 2020 zoomed out a bit more than X-plane? Also, does MSFS require considerably more processing power than X-Plane, and have you noticed differences in the flight models? Many years ago I built a projector based sim in my hanger that used real aircraft and helicopter hardware and, and found that after MSFS 2002, and with MSFS 2004 and MSFS X, the flight models, became less realistic, especially with rotorcraft dynamics, and overall more like a video game that seemed to be carried over into 2020. I recall users complained about the 2002 version being too hard to fly and Microsoft saying they modified the model with 2004. With the help of a friend who was a rotocraft instructor I got pretty proficient flying helicopters in MSFS 2002 and was able to hover and fly an actual Enstrom F28F and R22Beta pretty well with about 40mis of transition time in the actual helicopters with no actual rotrorcraft time. As MSFS 2004 on were much less realistic as far a helicopter dynamics I doubt I could have done the same using the later versions. Having an realistic cyclic and collective and pedal controls and three projectors helped to detect the the subtle pitch and control input effects required to control a helicopter, something that computer joysticks and monitors don't really provide, and likely why the more realistic MSFS 2002 model was impossible for most to fly on a desktop computer.

For vfr flight there is no comparison. MSFS is way better. Flying dinamics kf XP11 maybe more fluid but overall MSFS is much better. Not yo mention that therecare realky stunning hand made airports all over tge eotld. The MSFS community develop stunning pay and free aitplane, airports efc etc. RL glider pilot here.

Thank you love /A. Well done. 73 . .

I notice that when you compare MSFS, the distortion comes from ZOOMING. You should show the 3 comparisons in the same manner. Not a fair comparison. Thanks for the video.

very nice

I keep hoping to hear you on 520!

I love the vents on the rear windows! Haven't seen that before.

If only you could get your antenna higher up. 🤣

Thanks for the great comparison on the two simulator programs! I'm considering building a flight simulator and would love to see how you've set up your system. Maybe an upcoming video?

For the real world, did you hold a camera out the window with some stick attachment? Otherwise can’t figure out how you did it.

Hope to make contact again

Hello there's a bias, because those from X-plane we don't see the plane, so it means you have the view inside the plane without the plane no great angle lens. And for MSFS2020 we see the plane so distortions are due to the lens. You can do a zoom to reduce the great angle effect. But the most important regarding physics model.

How fun it is to jump in your plane and fly out for dinner and fly back home! Sure beats being stuck in traffic! Heard you but you faded out by the time I saw an opening. 73

THANKS FOR THE VIEW

For me MSFS is better!👌

It Works, similar To This. However, NOT Exactly the Same. So This is good for Practise. ONLY, if You Bear in Mind, That it ACTUALLY, works slightly Differently AND YOU ALSO LEARN - HOW IT "ACTUALLY WORKS".

Surprisingly ill give it to xplane . minus a few things its just looked and felt more like RW

WA7KXS Thanks for the great video!

Please quit that music, so annoying.

Your audio is awesome. Nice have QSO with you and you flew over my QTH

Just drove past this field today on my way back up to Seattle. Great video

Please lower the engine noise! Unwatchable!!!

Just wondering if you ever plan on running some aeronautical HF ?

Thanks for the QSO, great to catch you again, this time as I was hiking down from a SOTA activation at Mt Teneriffe

Yawn!!!!

146.52?

Your camera view was giving the distortion in MSFS.

Excelent review! But please next time turn off or put lower the volume of music, I wanted to listening you. Thank you for your excelent work

WA state prohibits the use of high frequency radio transmissions, and receptions. New communist wal, waiting in state leg. Canada shuts down all UVHF repeaters.

Is really necessary this music?

Great job but a simulator ain't about the way it looks please dear friends! Even full D level professional simulators aren't good looking or eye candy. How about the feel when flying? The physics, the inertia, ground physics etc? Fhe flightsim community now don't even talk about these anymore, everything is about fun, casual, stunning views! I remember the old days of flight simulation when it was all about physics, flight model, system depth etc!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH! XP-11won. What a bunch of nonsese. Nice one zooming out on external view so the world looks distorted on MSFS.

X-Plane 12 light/contrast makes it unusable.

The Domino Theory...😢 Several minor mistakes pile up to end up in a tragedy...

Nice! What kind of airplane is that? very nice! I´ve learned how to fly on a Cub and C172,lovely "steam gages"...today I fly all digital...miss those flights! What an awsome day to fly,perfect WX and sky!

and from the feel of flight?

Wow, that was the best comparison video I have seen to date. Great job sir!

Xplane 11 looks pretty much like Xplane 12. You should mention that you are using addons for Xplane, so not a fair comparison. You are spot on the lighting.

Hi...on my monitor,the image never get stretched out or distorted on FS2020! it must be a configuration issue somewhere! Im an atp rated pilot and like to either anticipate or simulate past real flights and sometimes,in some areas,its even confusing vesus real flights! FS2020 has an incomplete WX engine (no Cirrus,no TCU´s) but the haze and fog are nice! I would never buy XP12,way too weird!And believe me,some flights on Longitude or TBM are very,very amazing and also serves as an excellent IFR trainning tool dor its precision and representations! thank you...and crossing my fingers to see a much improved WX engine on FS2024,hopefuly

Completly agree. At Flight Sim Expo Laminar said they are working on a fix for the lighting in XP-12. Said it's an "exposure" issue. Just courious, was that the default imagery, Ortho4XP or some other addon?

I think we made contact, but couldn’t confirm it, I’ll watch the whole video to see. I was 25W mobile near Boardman, OR. 73, Wilt, WB7VPI

I was in Seattle last week for a business trip, and for the first time in my 30+ years in the hobby, my radio stopped scanning on 146.52. I was able to hear you, just barely, on my HT from a hotel just outside SEA. I think I measured about 95 miles from my location when you were at Mt. Adams. My callback to you was unsuccessful (you *might* have caught a partial), but impressed that I heard you at all. Great operation, and even better views! de KD4ACG

KF3OFP here. Thanks for the unexpected QSO (first for field day and aeronautical mobile)! Apologies for not wishing you a safe flight. Glad to see all went well.

Thank you for being my first ever field day contact. Followed your flight with Flight radar 24, we were approximately 34 miles apart. Enjoyed the video. 73 W3LLS
