2:20 You can go into settings and adjust your maximum FOV, that way you can zoom out a lot more

For replay mode wait 10-15 full seconds. Usually that will prevent it from crashing. It's been bugged since day 1 though.

While MSFS wipes the floor overall graphically, I actually slightly prefer X-Plane 12's colours. It's kind of hard to explain, but I find that MSFS seems to have this artificial warmth to it that looks a bit yellow, like faint yellow haze. Other than that though, MSFS looks miles better overall.

“X-Plane doesn’t have a lot of mods” yeah no there more mods for X-Plane then MSFS

[elixygaming]

In order for X-Plane 12 to compare graphics wise to MSFS you need mods like SimHeaven (roads and trees), VisualXP (better lighting, shaders, and clouds), and AutoOrtho (satellite image textures). All of these pair well together to make it look very nice :)

4:35 = 9/10 landing.
Perfect touchdown zone and did not float. You should get a Private Pilot License for the SR22 in the future lol

Welcome to X-Plane! Most of the default aircraft in X-Plane aren't the greatest, so you should totally download the Zibo 737-800 (study-level and free) if you'd like something close to the PMDG 737-800.

Just so you know there is a different external view mode which feels less weird

[F-Super]

Biggest thing I’ve noticed besides the flight models, is that X-plane is FAR more detailed in aircraft and scenery than MSF. Sure it’ll have actual bing maps data but xplane having actually detailed landmarks will always be a win vs random lumpy building #23

Xplane 12 has the best physics out of all simulators

[smaze]

Between XP11 and XP12, I have over 4300 hours. From Cessna's to Boeings and everything in between. I feel like MSFS is more like a game, whereas XP is more of an actual simulator.

[Thepilot]

Xplane will always have the better physics Microsoft flight sim will always have the best graphics I personally choose physics and xplane but both games can be great it just depends on what you are looking for.

Nicely done review! Just got XP12 today (upgraded over ~6 years of XP11) and honestly, I'll take it over MSFS any day of the week. While XP doesn't have MSFS-level graphics out of the box, it also doesn't have the funky UI, cheesy gamification, or reliability issues that come with what amounts to a perpetual beta release. You _can_ get great graphics in XP12 with added textures/terrains, but that requires additional purchases, patience, and technical fortitude - and of course, the terrains aren't global. MSFS is great for people who want to play an out-of-the-box video game with nice graphics; XP12 is better suited for people who want to utilize an actual simulator with functional realism for procedural training/immersion.

6:50 That's where I was born - St.Maarten! Dutch island...with French Side borders! Probably *Princess Juliana International* is the most popular airport in the world...?

[Vanfanman]

2:57 bro is heading straight for the freedom tower 😂

[Maymin_Animations]

btw you can do failures (there are more failures than i can count)

[zephyrkhambatta]

we're taking an air canada flight in a few days so this makes me feel more secure. better than watching all the news videos about recent flights around the world LOLOLOL. Thanks for 12:12 onwards.

3:55 Why is X Plane vehicle traffic ALL going the same direction??

[JapaneseAviation]

9:31 your the best flight sim player of all time and im a subscriber❤

i got xplane 12 and paired it with a stick and throttle

my favorite plane there is the md80 (i also like how there are additional warnings such as bank angle warnings for planes)

and i also appreciate how it’s easier to hold reverse thrust in landing (you just press a button on the throttle and it stays on reverse throttle until you press that button again)
