MSFS Xbox VS PC | Which One Is For You?

[@caskraker]

I was a serious simmer once. Some 20 years ago I even made my own cockpit addons. But I switched to a Mac and never regretted it, abandoning FS in the process. Now I have bought a series S and rediscovered FS using just the standard controller. It takes time and careful use of sensitivity settings and button re-mapping. But it works well. No more hassle with fps, no hardware issues, just flying. Call me a gamer instead of a simmer now. But for a fraction of the cost there is a whole world to explore. And still I can do IFR, airliners, atc and much more if I want. For me it is a no-brainer.

I fly only in VR pity the xbox does not use this wonderful addon.

Totally agree... I used to have a whole cockpit setup....took up a ton of space, money, and tweaking. But then, I switched to Mac and like you, can't go back to PC. FS on the xbox has thankfully brought me back to Simming and I am grateful for that.

@@daneav8 Nice to read you had similar experiences. I wrote this one year ago. Got a TB Velocity One in december and flying is much more realistic without the controller. Mounted the yoke on a side table, as a couch simmer that is ideal. For FS I take the table, plug in the yoke and it is ready to go. When watching TV the table goes in a corner of the room. The VF1 is expensive but totally worth it!

Great video per usual. I bought a Xbox series S, then traded in for a series X, quickly outgrew that and just ordered a PC. I am very new to this hobby but love it so. I don't have the patience to wait for Xbox to come up to speed plus I sincerely doubt Xbox will ever have Vatsim or something similar.

VR support as well; that’s a game changer

Play both PC and Xbox - I find the Xbox series S version the best for a relaxed spins around. The PC version for me on gtx1080 a lot more sluggish but has far superior choice for add ons, always tweaking to get going which can be a pain. The series S smooth as silk for me - the sense of speed far better for faster aircraft. Have just got hold of a series X so hopefully some more goodness to come. Bonus as well on the Xbox is getting on the bigger TV screen.

The Xbox series X is 4k and honestly it’s better then a lot of computers.

I think if you want complete simulation, online ATC, a massive range of addons, study level aircraft (at the moment only on PC). Then PC for sure. If you want to try out flight simulation and get a sort of first hand experience then Xbox is good enough, especially if flight simming is not a thing you do that much.

[@nascar8and20]

I have 3k pc just for iracing. Bought the series x for flight sim and its no brainer. So much fun and alot of realistic flying for under 1k. I'll take it

[@skychaserjeff2023]

Blue screen of death on a windows PC is also what stopped my flight sim obsession

[@firmination8396]

Thank you for your help. I was struggling to choose which one to go for the Xbox or the Pc version of msfs.

[@MrPantss]

Great vid, shame it’s not 4k upload.

[@MidQuotient-jh1yf]

If you play on Xbox then switch to PC, will your adding that you bought stay on the account or will you have to buy them again?

[@Luiz-ph3qj]

0:34 what is the name of this place?

[@davidgmaster]

XBOX is probably more arcade oriented, rather than simulating real flight procedures

[@theaveragesimmer4780]

I’m just going to go ahead and say PC is the winner because I’m biased and already built a $3k pc back in 2019. I swore off consoles to join the PCMR

"WHICH one is for you???". Do try not click bait us matey ;)
