DAMN!! Theres an uncanny resemblance between real-life and Fs2020! Cant get enough of it, just frickin mind blowing💀

[@TheFlightShow]

Yeah it’s insane! Bring on some PMDGs and a few addon airports and we’ve got something VERY special!

[@tgmjrtgmjr8221]

We really need study level airliners. I went back to my P3Dv5 and couldn't be happier with my immersion experience. Can't wait for some real airliners that don't fly like oil tankers in the sea and actually are study level. If MSFS gets that level great.

[@TheFlightShow]

Yeah I’m really excited to go back to P3D simply to fly some high level aircraft. I think MSFS will get that level but not for a long time (PMDG said the 737 is only coming Q1/2 2021)

[@richardb4757]

I showed a few pics to my parents and friends of flight simulator that i took with my phone and they couldn't believe it was a videogame

[@TheFlightShow]

Awesome! It’s incredible how far technology has coming these days!

[@michaelggriffiths]

Well that was very good. It's frightening that were are going down a path where digital Life is so realistic. Soon digital will be able to fool our brains completely.

[@TheFlightShow]

Thanks! Yeah it’s both awesome and in a way scary too how far technology is coming along.

[@abstractbybrian]

We really do need seasons in FS2020. I hope it’s soon

[@TheFlightShow]

Apparently you can change the season by changing the month in the weather/time options (I just couldn’t find it when recording this)

[@abstractbybrian]

TheFlightShow I didn’t think fs2020 had seasons!

[@TheFlightShow]

@@abstractbybrian Neither did I but it seems there are which is nice! Still can't believe X-Plane never got seasons

[@dishantlalwani]

The game looks much better 😂

[@TheFlightShow]

Haha yes but the resolution is just low on the real life footage tbh

[@dishantlalwani]

@@TheFlightShow im super addicted to fs2020

[@TheFlightShow]

Haha me too

[@fernandosalas8589]

Someone has to come with a real world simulator. MSFS they're only selling a product I saw a guy flying a Piper Cub and landed on dirt you didn't see the dirt being blown away, and the b787 engine starting and the animated guy just walks buy the engine and nothing happened.

[@TheFlightShow]

No dirt being blown away? Ground workers not getting sucked into the engines? Unplayable, need a refund, waste of money, 0/0, definitely do not recommend /s

[@fernandosalas8589]

they're claiming that it's real physics then everything should be like real life physics, stand behind on an turbine engine and see what happens. Even a small Cessna passing behind a 747 and engine just on 50% power can be blown away that's real physics. Iam not paying for false advertisement.

[@TheFlightShow]

@@fernandosalas8589 I can't tell if you're joking or not...

[@fernandosalas8589]

@@TheFlightShow not joking just observing what they claim that the sim has true physics and it doesn't. I knew you took it as joke. But I take it serious they're selling an exaggeration. Hope someone else comes with something more real.

[@TheFlightShow]

Yeah I mean the physics are amazing most of the time but often feel too exaggerated. For example, flying an a320 should not feel the same as flying a Cessna and yet it does in MSFS

[@EinkOLED]

You should have manually changed the season in MFS 2020.

[@clubtcb]

you would've paid a pretty penny for scenery like this in P3D or FSX

[@TheFlightShow]

Several hundred at least!

[@semajsachairi84]

Real life of course

[@juansebastiandominguez4622]

its awsome, how did you get that Wing view?

[@TheFlightShow]

I watched a tutorial on KZbin to get the wingview

[@starlight122012]

so does the ground and tree texture change with season in MSFS2020?

[@TheFlightShow]

I don't think seasons are in MSFS yet although I'm not sure

[@starlight122012]

@@TheFlightShow I saw another video of someone else and they said it is same scenery throughout, no change in forests, field colours, etc to simulate The Fall or Winter, everything is in full bloom lol. Hopefully they can do something about that in an update

[@Aziz.Alaali]

MSFS2020 looks awesome... does anyone knows if it works with GlassCockpit for sims from Peixsoft?.. anyone seen a review of glasscockpit and MSFS2020?

[@TheFlightShow]

I’m not sure about that but MSFS is fine as it is

[@Aziz.Alaali]

@@TheFlightShow it looks more than fine... it looks fantastic. I use glasscockpit so I can control P3D instead of using the mouse and keyboard. I normally change Radio, NAV, heading big, and CRS all using my tablet just I would in G1000, but it is only a fraction of buying a G1000 instrument... what do you use... thanks

[@TheFlightShow]

Oh sorry I completely misunderstood your comment. Having a ‘glass cockpit’ (G1000) on an iPad or something is awesome. I don’t use that so I don’t know if it works with MSFS or not but I’m sure it definitely will at some point

[@Aziz.Alaali]

@@TheFlightShow thanks, I will keeping checking KZbin... I think being able to free yourself from mouse and keyboard and use the touch screen adds a lot to the simulation... but the graphics on MSFS2020 is amazing... I need to get myself a new graphics card...

[@TheFlightShow]

Yeah it sounds awesome! Enjoy

[@AviationAlex]

This has changed my life

[@TheFlightShow]

Lol ok

[@pdiz]

You can tell the Real Life Raw Footage is the real one because you can hear the 'Rona inside the cabin!

[@TheFlightShow]

Haha yeah I was genuinely deciding whether or not to go on this trip at the time in February but it was good I didn't get it

[@caribbaviator7058]

FS2020 needs seasons like this!

[@TheFlightShow]

Since making this video I’ve heard that it is indeed possible to change seasons with MSFS by changing the month although I haven’t tested it

[@takeoffaviation7461]

Not enough dead trees.

[@TheFlightShow]

As it said the real life recording was from February so the terrain looks different
