I don't know what is better, listening to the QSOs or watching the amazing views. 73

Awesome footage

I caught you on 10-10-24 about 7:00pm. I'll check the footage and thanks for posting. KK7LHD. 73'S

To be fair, MSFS is just simulating the use of a wide-angle lens for the exterior view, much like your RW GoPro (which produces an even more distorted image due to being a fisheye lens). The view from within the cockpit is what really counts for simmers anyway.

This is so awesome! My son and I drive by this runway often! I'm gonna get my license so I can take him flying. Our goal is to land at this airport 😂

Thanks for the enjoyable flight! I've always wanted to try Aeronautical Mobile back when I was flying low and slow in my old C-120. Looks like a lot of fun! Tell me, were you calling CQ on 146.52 Mhz Simplex or on a repeater? Either way, great response from the local hams. I stopped off at the KTIW airport diner last March when I came thru from my QTH in the DFW area. A very nice diner as I recall. Thanks and 73 de K5CMO.

I fish at Lake Laurence. Great video OM.

Nice ride, Bill. I grew up in Olympia and it is always nice to see Thurston County from a different perspective.

I'd say, in order to get ship attitude displyaed in synthetic vision, you need an attitude source (aka AHRS). And here your choices may be limited to some Garmin products (notably to Garmin ADSB-In receivers that also have an AHRS). It is not the ADBS-In data that creates the attitude view, nor would all ADSB-In receivers necessarily come with an AHRS. Having said this, the larger aero 760 seem to have an in-built AHRT that provides attitude information.

Xplane 12 lighting isn't a contrast issue, it's an "exposure" issue. Our eyes can adjust, the sim can't. Regardless, getting a Thumbs Up for running the voiceover through a plugin, for that GA intercom effect

It’s a good interface between Fireflight and AP

I'm watching on a 4k 60" monitor and none even come close to real world 4k. Maybe someday. Keep working developers!

Thanks for the outstanding demonstration. By chance did you have MSFS 2020 zoomed out a bit more than X-plane? Also, does MSFS require considerably more processing power than X-Plane, and have you noticed differences in the flight models? Many years ago I built a projector based sim in my hanger that used real aircraft and helicopter hardware and, and found that after MSFS 2002, and with MSFS 2004 and MSFS X, the flight models, became less realistic, especially with rotorcraft dynamics, and overall more like a video game that seemed to be carried over into 2020. I recall users complained about the 2002 version being too hard to fly and Microsoft saying they modified the model with 2004. With the help of a friend who was a rotocraft instructor I got pretty proficient flying helicopters in MSFS 2002 and was able to hover and fly an actual Enstrom F28F and R22Beta pretty well with about 40mis of transition time in the actual helicopters with no actual rotrorcraft time. As MSFS 2004 on were much less realistic as far a helicopter dynamics I doubt I could have done the same using the later versions. Having an realistic cyclic and collective and pedal controls and three projectors helped to detect the the subtle pitch and control input effects required to control a helicopter, something that computer joysticks and monitors don't really provide, and likely why the more realistic MSFS 2002 model was impossible for most to fly on a desktop computer.

For vfr flight there is no comparison. MSFS is way better. Flying dinamics kf XP11 maybe more fluid but overall MSFS is much better. Not yo mention that therecare realky stunning hand made airports all over tge eotld. The MSFS community develop stunning pay and free aitplane, airports efc etc. RL glider pilot here.

Thank you love /A. Well done. 73 . .

I notice that when you compare MSFS, the distortion comes from ZOOMING. You should show the 3 comparisons in the same manner. Not a fair comparison. Thanks for the video.

very nice

I keep hoping to hear you on 520!

I love the vents on the rear windows! Haven't seen that before.

If only you could get your antenna higher up. 🤣

Thanks for the great comparison on the two simulator programs! I'm considering building a flight simulator and would love to see how you've set up your system. Maybe an upcoming video?

For the real world, did you hold a camera out the window with some stick attachment? Otherwise can’t figure out how you did it.

Hope to make contact again

Hello there's a bias, because those from X-plane we don't see the plane, so it means you have the view inside the plane without the plane no great angle lens. And for MSFS2020 we see the plane so distortions are due to the lens. You can do a zoom to reduce the great angle effect. But the most important regarding physics model.

How fun it is to jump in your plane and fly out for dinner and fly back home! Sure beats being stuck in traffic! Heard you but you faded out by the time I saw an opening. 73

THANKS FOR THE VIEW

For me MSFS is better!👌

It Works, similar To This. However, NOT Exactly the Same. So This is good for Practise. ONLY, if You Bear in Mind, That it ACTUALLY, works slightly Differently AND YOU ALSO LEARN - HOW IT "ACTUALLY WORKS".

Surprisingly ill give it to xplane . minus a few things its just looked and felt more like RW

WA7KXS Thanks for the great video!

Please quit that music, so annoying.

Your audio is awesome. Nice have QSO with you and you flew over my QTH

Just drove past this field today on my way back up to Seattle. Great video

Please lower the engine noise! Unwatchable!!!

Just wondering if you ever plan on running some aeronautical HF ?

Thanks for the QSO, great to catch you again, this time as I was hiking down from a SOTA activation at Mt Teneriffe

Yawn!!!!

146.52?

Your camera view was giving the distortion in MSFS.

Excelent review! But please next time turn off or put lower the volume of music, I wanted to listening you. Thank you for your excelent work

WA state prohibits the use of high frequency radio transmissions, and receptions. New communist wal, waiting in state leg. Canada shuts down all UVHF repeaters.

Is really necessary this music?

Great job but a simulator ain't about the way it looks please dear friends! Even full D level professional simulators aren't good looking or eye candy. How about the feel when flying? The physics, the inertia, ground physics etc? Fhe flightsim community now don't even talk about these anymore, everything is about fun, casual, stunning views! I remember the old days of flight simulation when it was all about physics, flight model, system depth etc!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH! XP-11won. What a bunch of nonsese. Nice one zooming out on external view so the world looks distorted on MSFS.

X-Plane 12 light/contrast makes it unusable.

The Domino Theory...😢 Several minor mistakes pile up to end up in a tragedy...

Nice! What kind of airplane is that? very nice! I´ve learned how to fly on a Cub and C172,lovely "steam gages"...today I fly all digital...miss those flights! What an awsome day to fly,perfect WX and sky!

and from the feel of flight?

Wow, that was the best comparison video I have seen to date. Great job sir!

Xplane 11 looks pretty much like Xplane 12. You should mention that you are using addons for Xplane, so not a fair comparison. You are spot on the lighting.
