X-Plane 12 feels a little rushed. It just looks like a graphic overhaul. As of right now X-Plane 12 needs a lot of addons to look good. I hope In the future with addons X-Plane 12 can start to compare to the beauty of MSFS.

The big problem here is that MSFS was released and it set the standard too high. Like blackberry and iphone. It is hard to compare anymore. I understand people say physics in xplane is better but at the end of the day both of them will never hit the spot. When i was getting my private rating. I was doing perfect landing on the simulator. When it was my turn to flight in real life damn those feet were hurting from so much rudders to keep the damn c172 on centerline. It was a different monster. I do not see much different at the end to the point to give up msfs scenary. Autogen is ok but they need to improve the graphics the same way they did the trees.

i've only used msfs since 98 and never understood why lot's of people where so convinced about x-plane being superior. Tried the Demo today and still don't get it. Low res textures, bad aliasing, bad texture filtering. I don't even care about there's no satelite images. It would still look terrible. The flight model might be 'superior' to msfs according to Austin, but after flying around a bit in the default c172 i think it's just complete nonsense. Both sims have their shortcommings, But it looks like x-plane has the most of them. For me atleast. Still both don't come close to flying irl though.

How come that everyone just acts like this is such an awesome sim? I don't want to offend anybody by any means but I just find it sad to see them release a Sim with such a poor graphics quality and general lack of features in 2022 and call it a competitor to MSFS... Sure MSFS physics aren't quite there yet but with Flight physics improving further and further + all of the awesome study level planes + The level of detail all around the globe because of cloud streaming + Volumetric clouds that can only be semi matched by DCS, you sadly just can't call X-Plane a good competitor in the year 2022. I mean just forget it. And all of the praising aside about how much the graphics of XP12 improved over XP11: Yeah sure it did improve but that is not changing the fact that it still looks like a bad game from 2010 xD How come that everyone just unsees this, I mean you can't be serious to release something of this quality in 2022... Feel like people are just hyping this sim up for nostalgia sake... That's just my feeling about it, how do you feel? Am I missing something?

[@martinvandersandt4631]

Well said... People complain a lot about msfs bugs, but that normal when you're on the cutting edge of technology. When you're polishing an old engine like xplane, you will always have a more stable platform. Developer tools is another aspects. Its so much easier to developers for msfs, and that reflects in add on price, and amount of add ons available.

[@badubies]

Honestly I tried MSFS, I really tried to like it.. but I get 3 times more frames per second in vr with xplane 12 then msfs. MSFS is over vibrant, almost cartoonish. They really nailed the lighting in xp 12..

[@FrancescoSpace]

If MSFS didn’t exist, or if X-Plane 12 released two years ago, you wouldn’t say this is 2010 quality. MSFS is just setting the bar incredibly high with graphics, and they can because they own Bing and all of that.

[@Lyudol]

It’s not meant to be a competitor to MSFS. The whole point of X-Plane is to have really really good flight physics, environmental physics and systems simulation depth. The scenery that you see out of the window is just an accessory. X-Plane markets itself to serious flight simmers and pilot training establishments. And those markets only care about the aspects I mentioned before. It’s no coincidence that most professional pilot training simulators run X-Plane. MSFS on the other hand doesn’t aim to please those markets. They are more aimed for the casual simmers or just people looking to try a new game. Sure, the scenery and graphics are awesome, but for serious applications and purposes, it doesn’t cut it.

[@jcpflier6703]

Bravo 👏 I agree with you. I really think people need to stop acting like this is the new slice bread. Look, MSFS put the bar at the edge of the universe. Laminar aint going to reach that. They dont have the budgeting. They really need to focus on mobile phone simulation and making study level planes. I am willing to be that with time, Laminar will find itself the way of Sega. No one is going to want to spend hundreds/thousands of dollars trying to get Xplane to look like what MSFS looks like out the box.

[@maltimoto]

"Fremdschämen" is the german word if you feel very ashamed for someone else, in this case Laminar Research. Clouds, puddles, ice, everything looks a little weird. Ground textures are horrible. No satellite scenery. The only thing speaking for XP are the flight phyics which are really good. I don't know. I am a big XP 11 fan but XP 12 is not enough to justify 60 $.

I have flown the c172 before and the handling of the aircraft felt way different then fs and x-plane, and based on what I saw in your video x-plane kind of just looked the same but with upgraded shaders and a higher budget to develop.

Xplane: we have now got volumetric clouds! GeoFS which has had them for over a year now:

Unfortunately, I think its a shame that the developers dare to release such an unfinished game. In times where we have the access to a game like MSFS, this is just not a threatening competetitor, more a parody of it. I can understand people that they rely on 100% perfectly accurate physics, but who can actually proof that MSFS´s physics in payware addons like the FENIX are so much worse? And we can say that most of us will not be flying any of these planes in real life, so we will not be abled to make an own experience to compare- that we have to leave to the professionals. And again, if you still prefer the 1000% proper physics of an airplane, there are still opportunites to get your hands on, like P3D, which is of course used in real life simulators of proper airlines aswell. I did play XP11 for a long time, too. But this rather minor enhancement of a game, that already exists, is too weak. So, my question is: Why releasing such a game if we already have both, the visuals and absolutely sufficient flight physics for a normal all- day life sim- pilot? And a hardcore simulation like P3D if people want to dive into it. Why holding on to a legacy that desperately tries to maintain its existence, while the game barely outperforms the predecessor, neither any of its competition. I think it quite embarrissing and relying on add ons is the wrong approach to a freshly released game. I hoped that we could see more than that, because this is just a poor misfire. Regards

XP12 looks like slightly improve from XP11 with a price tag and bunch of bugs!! Performance is worse. A330 being featured has 737 FMC!!, What a load of crap! being on EA doesn't excuse it from criticism. I hope XP12 can better compete with msfs though, competition is always a good thing. Alot of this BS claims about flight physics is better than on XP... Wonder what qualifies? It feels on on-rail scripted for sure for on XP, Weather, wind, drag, airport elevation and air density don't matter much on XP as it feels scripted with not much simulation at all. Watch CFD for msfs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJXPYWqVbLWmjck

hi swiss, im going on holidays on thrusday, i am flying tui.

Ok this is gonna be sick

[@enderlordgg]

Omg my winter house is in Samedan, thanks for going there

[@synka]

honestly xp12 for now looks great, but as a more casual pilot i’ll stick with msfs (although i’m having some trouble with crashes and stuff, me and support are figuring it out). i also can’t fly instrumentally so the msfs scenery is appreciated great things about xp12 are the fact that there’s arguably better physics and crash animations

[@RealTojo090]

Definitely unarguably. MSFS feels like flying in GTA

looks like fsx, i like it!

so i was silly and bought it before watching this, so did not fully pay attention too the video, and all my brain snapped up was the word... "add-on, add-on, add-on, add-on, add-on" great vid anyway haha

[@ciarankinneyoneill4513]

can you do a tutorial on how to get the landing rater

[@Zumbosflightsims]

Really i like xplane via training wise, because if got 2 simulators. In msfs some of the buttons dont work, but xplane can do scenery a bit better like atleast they should try.

[@joshpb6672]

sick content bro

[@EugeneKostylev]

Please try a water landing and a land one with a gear up to check the crash physics

[@aidenaviation]

I’m actually surprised I can run this at max settings with about 15 fps

[@Vardaansharma2147]

X plane and msfs comparison would be awesome

[@europe0017]

I think X-plane is trying senery but focusing on the planes the most altho msfs is really good x plane is worth it
