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.

[BachShakur]

Even if we pull MSFS out of the equation and judge X-Plane 12 on its own merits, I’m struggling to see the justification behind the $60 price when it cursorily looks identical to X-Plane 11.

[AmilcarP]

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.

The UI still feels old. The thing that bothers me the most and one of the things I love the most in MSFS is the world map where you can see all the airports and calculate from there your route depending on the time you want to spend flying. Aside from the lighting which is marginally better, the graphics overall don't seem like a big upgrade from xp11

If you look closely, the Plane „floats“ a bit over the runway! Clouds are still bad compared to MSFS

1:32 if I’m not mistaking that’s not Seattle Airport, but Portland Airport KPDX

[FrancescoSpace]

I bet the whole community was waiting for this video. LET’S GOOO!

[operatorblackbird]

Already bought it, quite happy with it, I wished the F-14D was more detailed though, and I hope someone makes a mod for the A330 with the same quality as the Zibo 737.

[mrenergykills]

I wish msfs and xplane could combine everything together and give us an amazing flight sim 😅

[no_name]

I still feel as if the add-on planes for Msfs make it a better flight sim. The scenery seems more real in MSFS2020.

[gaenthusiast]

The clouds in XP 12 are pretty poor, it needs a lot more work by LR. Overall, XP 12 is more like XP 11.5.

[omarliew]

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.

[skabyy]

x-plane 12 and msfs2020 comparison would be pretty cool, to see the differences

[prezent]

11:02 “oh we don’t even have it animated”
Said mr Swiss about a static modelled mash…

But seriously great video man!

[dariush.]

Compared to MSFS, this just looks horrifying

[sulaymanalalwan_]

I think in my opinion that MSFS is still the winner out of the flight sims, But i do like the new graphic improvement.

[flyin_with_ryan]

Hmm. This seems rushed. If you didn’t tell me this was XP12, I would have a hard time figuring it out. Only the the trees, clouds, and water changed. It just seems like modded XP11. Looks nice though, but for some reason I think I like XP11 more than this, I don’t know why. Maybe because I had higher expectations. I’m gonna stick with MSFS just because of how quick the updates are.

[RCHeliJet]

With the Citation in Samedan Airport Love it :)

[tigerking]

To end the war, Xplane has the physics, and Microsoft has the realism

[nomadicplays]

If Laminar And Microsoft Worked together to make a flight sim, It would be a masterpiece!
