I’m having such a good time with the MSFS in my Xbox series X that I don’t want to worry about building a $3, 000.00 PC. I know the PC with an RTX 40xx will be better, but the difference in quality and options don’t justify paying that much for a PC only to play the game.

Love it when people say ready to jump into the world of flight sims. I've been playing it for nearly 40 years. What a surreal ride it has been.

Nice comparison, I came to the same conclusion at the end of last year and bought the Xbox Series X and the full Turtle Beach VelocityOne setup, with the yoke, quadrant and rudder pedals. I didn't want to sink 4-5k USD in a PC and top of the range graphics card straightaway. I still have the option to do that and retain the controller setup.
What would be good is to estimate a PC setup that would equal the Xbox series X in terms of performance, but would give you the flexibility of a PC setup in terms of add-ons like VATSIM and an upgrade path.

Thanks for the great comparison. I’ve been flight simming for years and like you I enjoy the “beauty” of the views. I used to build PCs to push what I could get out of FSX etc and would tinker for hours trying to get the “best” settings, instead of just enjoying what I had. Clearly the PC version had superior clarity, but to your point was it worth 6x the cost, and the cost of the time you invested tinkering to achieve that performance? Not sure it would be worth it for me. I may pick up an Xbox series x simply because it doesn’t have all the options that would lead me down the path of tweaking things instead of just enjoying and playing.

Fantastic job! Thanks for all your effort in making this video.

[johnwilliamson]

this is the best comparison video I've seen. Because of budget, I'm going to be an xBox guy. but this video helps me feel more comfortable with my choice. I did use MSFS earlier in the 2000's but have taken a long break. Thank you!

[nooceluap]

Thanks for all the work you put into this excellent comparison. The extra sharpness/clarity on the PC is what I want! You've helped me make the decision. I subscribed and liked. Thanks again.

The main thing is the hardware. If you're serious about simming, PC is the only way to go. More options for yoke and throttles, multiple screens, VATSim, modifications, home cockpit, VR, etc.

[joshbenjamin]

Awesome video! I'm going to go the PC route. I appreciate the attention to detail and amount of info that you give here. Oh, for the record, in NY, you were flying up the East River, not the Hudson, which is west of Manhattan :-)

[ivanfojan]

A top end pc is better than a Series X but is it 6 times better....

A series X is an excellent price point to jump into this sim :)

Liked and subscribed :)

[weekendwarriorsports]

Very well made video. I just got an Xbox Series X and your video has convinced me, as a more casual Flight Simulator pilot, that I can confidently buy MS Flight Simulator for the Xbox. Thanks again.

PC best for gaming. Xbox best for money

[ronhyde]

Thank you. As I embark on this I am glad I have some perspective. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It helped a great deal!

Xbox series x: Good price for a very good gaming experience
Pc: Expensive for an excellent gaming experience

[noggsvlogs]

Great video. Really shows the comparison between two operating systems. Thanks

[billymkirkwood]

PC wins everything, completely see what you mean about saturation level on XBox but for £1500 cheaper it's still a no brainer. What a fantastic comparison video ❤ Also another YouTube Sim Hanger Flight, does similar to you... I'm impressed by your content 👏 👌

[michaelbare]

Great work on this video. Such a good point about the quality of the PC making a big difference in performance. You said you liked to fiddle with settings. Another good point. I don’t. The Xbox is what I have. Will just stick with it.

[robertjones]

Thanks for the review. Very nice job. I was born in Buffalo too (Amherst) and enjoyed seeing the differences of the downtown area as I wondered on my Xbox series x where the downtown buildings went and how flat the stadium was. But bummed about Bills failure to reach the Super Bowl.

Great comparison! It would also be interesting to see a comparison in 2k. Clearly for the rtx 3090 you would not see any difference compared to 4k but probably for the Xbox you could find out if there are several more details in the scenarios due to the lower stress of the internal graphics processor lower than the rtx 3090.
