Most devs are not using it fully and whilst CFD provides a more accurate model in comparison to BET it’s not a large variation that any person would comprehend in flight physics or notice. Most 3rd party devs are still struggling to get the flight modelling to be accurate in msfs which I’ll refer you to PMDG, Fenix and many others public available posts.

The only flight sims that aren't boring AF are DCS and IL2. How you don't have IL2 on here just stretches credibility. Sitting in a plane watching clouds go by is something I'll do if I'm ever in a wheelchair maybe. The new MSFS may be better if it gets the 'missions' right...at least there will be something to do.

On vatsim you must create flight plans talk with atc aka real people that play as atc get taxi clearances follow flight plans exactly how real life pilots do it. It's extremely fun. Then there are also extremely fun airports that you can fly into. My favorite is VNKD aka kathmandu. The approach to land is between 2 mountains. The airstrip high begins at 9000 feet above sea level. The top of the runway is approximately 11000 feet. That approach is tons of fun. Obviously you don't take 747 or even an a320 but smaller plans are great to take in there. Especially I'm VR it's fun. Yes I would re-think your idea of msfs if I were you.

I have both of the top 2 games and personally, the combat in DCS is better than anything I can think of in MSFS. Formation flying, crash physics, armaments, etc. makes it #1 for me but obviously a game like MSFS is WAY better for anyone interested in anything but warplanes.
For the Alpha release showcases of MSFS 2020 to the current state of the nation across the competitors great comparisons without fear or favor. Keep up the great work!!
Good Video. In my own humble opinion, FSX is No.1, DCS is No.2. All other simulators are great and wonderful, but nothing comes close to the old but venerable FSX. In the end, nothing compares to flying actual airplanes in real life. Simulation excels in the areas of mastering aircraft systems (simulation) and for entertainment. A well moded FSX still meets and exceed those objectives
I love DCS to this day. The problem is that it can be very hard for new players to get started. This can be especially true of multiplayer. But once you get into the community, there's nothing like it.
Good to see P3DV5 in the no 4 slot. With ASN and ORBX True Earths for UK I think it offers a much better VFR simulation of UK, and a much crisper and realistic representation of UK weather than MSFS or XPlane do.
WARNING - AeroFly FS4 lacks 'many' of the features like ATC and full weather found in other flight simulators. The detailed sections of the world are extremely limited, too. And also, unlike the other flight simulators, you will find that your investment in purchased 3th-party DLC for AeroFly FS(x) will not be usuable in newer versions of AeroFly FS(x). Long-term receptive (to customers) support is also lacklustered. Features talked about for FS2 never came to fruition, which does not bode well for the future of FS4 or trust in the developer/publisher. Apart from looking 'pretty', it falls far short of the potential of MSFS, X-Plane and PrePar3D and offers lesser value for your investment.
This video said very little about DCS, when flying from the cockpit, ( the pilot's seat ). Most of what was shown, were external views of all the military aircraft DCS offers. Can someone please tell me more about DCS cockpit views, ( internal ), from the pilot's seat? From inside the cockpit? Thanks....
Depends on your system but the cockpit on high fidelity aircraft is usually extremely detailed and looks beautiful, if your system is good enough the outside from the cockpit can also look good as well (This is in case you are doing low altitude missions) and different objects such as powerlines and buildings are fully modelled. The lighting in DCS is also amazing especially around 5:00PM in cockpit view.
If you can run at 4K 60Hz there isn't a better view especially with the HUD in many of the AC and Helos. Plus you can plan real missions which test you in the different aircraft in 3 different eras WWII, cold war and modern. The only sim that shows the Hornet and other carrier based aircraft to their full value imo.
@@zorbakaput8537 Thanks, but I'm asking about control inputs? Using the cockpit flight controls, and electronic navigation equipment in the cockpit. How does DCS compare to MSFS, and X Plane, with regard to those categories?
@@Lightning_studios437 Thanks. I have a high end, PC desktop. I was partially asking about graphics, ( appearance ), but more importantly, I was wondering about buttons, switches, and their functionality in the cockpit. Thanks so much for your responses. Quite helpful.
Fidelity for switches and cockpit functionality, flight dynamics there is a two parts to DCS. Most stand alone models are study level and most switches are functional(some secret functions are not perfectly modelled for obvious reasons). Being a Pilot, my subjective feeling is that flight dynamics and the feel of the aircraft in DCS are superior to X--plane, and X-plane is not the "king" of flight dynamics. Actually X-plane is rather deterministic and very poor in low speed/stall situations. Cockpits are well modelled but the terrain is.... sqaure grid and flat vs curved which means it is kind of odd using real life plates at some airport on the map. Note that most military aircraft doesnt have RNAV capability (Hopefully the C-130J will have) so most approaches if you want fly those will be RBSN, ILS, TCN, ICLS, and for some aircraft VOR. The systems are fuctional and work as well and work on a satisfactory level. all switches and buttons in the aircraft can be switched to appropriate conditions. If you place the wrong switch in the wrong conidtions, you may encounter issues as appropriate. EXCEPTION there is a series of aircraft that have simplified avionics (Non-clickable cockpit) These are the Flaming Cliffs (FC3) models. VR is where it really shines. TO be honest it is THE benchmark for VR controllers, MSFS could learn alot from how inputs are handled.
And that's true. Xplane still has slightly better physics. But in a general aspect the two are pretty much tied with each other. They are not at all as superior as some would have us believe. It is true that when msfs2020 came out its physics were quite inferior and it was quite noticeable. But today, in the year 2024, things are very different. And wait for the older brother to come out. *msfs24*
Unfortunately MSFS is totally hamstrung for me by the archaic, non-intuitive replay system, so much so that I reluctantly uninstalled it about 9 months ago, I now only fly DCS.
Holt shit DCS is expensive, last time I looked they wanted $3,000 for every thing (all maps and planes) I knew some game where outrageous but shit that's a lot
I don’t need an TH-camr’s questionably ‘independent’ opinion to tell me which flight sim I need to enjoy. DCS is relaxed…?? 😂 yeah right! Those must have been some powerful tranquillisers you were taking I can jump into the cockpit of Microsoft Simulator and just take off and land without much introduction at all DCS took me days to start up cold and months to completely understand and master ALL the weapons and avionics That’s ALL the convincing I EVER needed as to which was more challenging and realistic. Some of the SimPits people are building for DCS almost border on being a security concern.
Do you know if there is going to be another eurofighter typhoon into the flight sim because the one now doesn’t get updated and updates could make it so much better
Im tired of msfs ctd’s. Gave it 250g of space and days worth of downloading time. When it works it is great, but during flight it has one stutter then on the desktop really bugs
Are the flight lengths simulated to be realistic, or are they condensed for sake of attention span? I can't imagine somebody parking in front of their computers for 18 hours straight on a trans-pacific flight. LOL
I’d put DCS at no.1 myself really all MSFS has over it is the world scale map and terrain graphics its good and 2024 could push it to no.1 but the flight models just aren’t anywhere near as good imho (I own both btw)

Technically both however dcs has weapons and you can watch your friend fall to the earth as a flaming wreck. Unless you slap him with a fox 3 at 80 miles
Sorry to read you don’t have any ground service and traffic. I don’t have any add ons and have full ground service’s and traffic, depending on the airport.
@@TPHI17 Here what strange... I have reloaded Flight Simulator 4 times and Ground Services is there... When I power down and re-open Flight Simulator again, all the Ground Services is Lost again...
MSFS might be prettier....but DCS is a better sim and Eagle Dynamics are a true David to Microsoft's Goliath. So, it's very impressive to see DCS be what it is.
@@BooliusGoozlur Yes, of course, but one can be used for combat and the other cannot. The other can carry out commercial aviation operations and the other cannot. It makes no sense to compare them.
@@burgadahz17 I fly the UH-1H Huey with no weapons....the P-51 with no weapons and both sims have the FA-18. So, when I just compare the experience there is a large difference in quality. I think that my conclusion is that if DCS had any commercial aircraft, if they ever take the time to do such a thing, it will be a vastly better experience. It is far less clunky and the flight models feel superior in the aircraft I have used. However, MSFS does shine in certain areas and I know that in other areas there can't really be a one to one comparison. But at the end of the day, they are indeed both flight sims and I disagree that you can't compare them at all. I can also compare the user interfaces and controls settings and DCS has MSFS beat there by a country mile as well.
@@BooliusGoozlur Yeah, but DCS doesn't have that. And do you think that if Asobo were to add aircraft combat to Microsoft Flight Simulator, they wouldn't do it right? I'll repeat it to you as many times as necessary, there's no point in comparing the two to see which one is better. It's like comparing Gran Turismo with Forza Horizon 5.Both are car games but the purposes that each of the two seek are extremely different. One seeks to have a more realistic driving experience. And the other gives you the experience To be able to explore a large-scale open world. One is not worse than the other because the two pursue extremely different purposes from each other. It would be very unfair to criticize one of the other.

Putting MSFS above DCS is a shame from the sim side. You can say it has more to offer because of more civilian aircraft and landscapes but DCS offers more in terms of anything military so that is subjective. But just as a pure simulator of flying DCS 100% is the winner. The United States Air Force and other militaries use DCS to train real pilots, no one in history will use MFS to train real pilots
What you say doesn't make any sense. Because the DCS simulator is only adapted for fighter jets. Obviously it is true that the MSFS fighter jets are not better than those of the DCS ones. But here's the important thing. There's no point in comparing them. But the purpose of msfs is directly for commercial aircraft, not for fighter aircraft. Both have extremely different goals. Do you think DCS would have good physics for commercial aircraft? Exactly. It doesn't make sense.
In my opinion, the three companies of X-Plane - DCS - MS Flight Simulator are all tied for first place. The reason is that the damaged building scenes that appear when flying low altitude helicopters in MS Flight Simulator are still not resolved - these problems have not been resolved by MS. I admit that MS is first if it solves the problem. On the other hand, X-Plane's building scene shows everything well in three dimensions even at low altitudes, and DCS has a fatal disadvantage in that it has limited flight space.
Reviewer is taken in by a vulgar ‘Scenery Simulator’. The *convincing feel* of a plane in flight is my top priority and the blade element theory Xplane stuff doesn’t seem to translate into simulating *real world* _feel._ Aerofly gets basic aeroplane feel quite good or better some of the time but it can be update dependent and recently they are slow fixing reported bugs.
For you, I guess. Because it's extremely subjective. And even more so with a simulator that seeks such a specific purpose as just modern militar y aviation.
MSFS is the biggest joke - I purchased it earlier this year and after a while of not playing, but keeping my Microsoft account on auto update I recently discovered that one of my hard drives suddenly gained a lot of space then I felt like playing my game again and lo and behold, the game deleted all the files uploaded and basically all my game content was gone after an automatic update. So yeah, I will never support a microsoft flight simulator game again, since they have no premise for a refund under these conditions Pathetic if you ask me
very unhelpful video ...i came here to find a plane game that i could play with my big bro he has been stressful of late coz of marriage job loan stuff...i could find anything useful only got to hear how good they are or how their trailers looked
I was fan of flight simulator and got so disappointed at FS2020. So many bugs and errors and so many unimplemented control panels. And they announced to release FS2024!!!! R U KIDDING?

I’d put DCS at no.1 myself really all MSFS has over it is the world scale map and terrain graphics its good and 2024 could push it to no.1 but the flight models just aren’t anywhere near as good imho (I own both btw)
Love the love for DCS World!
Thanks for the video Captain 👌
My pleasure!
Great video, as always!
Can you make XP12 vs FS2020 vs P3D v5.3
Possibly! Cheers
The notions that XP has better flight simulation is just a notion. It maybe valid in the past but XP12 seems still uses Blade element theory. This flight dynamics calculating tech is pretty old. Haven't found CFD visualisation option. P-Factor with Perf. Data on MSFS more accurate there. MSFS in the other hand has CFD, which you can actually see the simulation and simulated surfaces on the airplane. XP maybe using 5 simulated surfaces on an airplane and MSFS uses hundreds of simulation surfaces in an aircraft, thus makes it more accurate and realistic.
Here's the CFD simulation in visual and data form. And I would like to see XP to provide with their simulation data as well.

DCS and Xplane. Other one? Not required
Msfs.
DCS looks very cool, but when I download it on steam it won't even launch
I would like to have a sim that’s capable of Cessna 182 and instrument. Look to get a pilots license and don’t know anything about this stuff
Maybe review the top 5 mobile simulators....there are some great one's out there.
My favourite and worth a look is Real Flight Simulator.
Which one offers 1V1 PvP. DCS or MSFS?
Technically both however dcs has weapons and you can watch your friend fall to the earth as a flaming wreck. Unless you slap him with a fox 3 at 80 miles
Xbox Series X Flight Simulator still has a few BUGS... Ground Services and Traffic MISSING without any Add-Ons...
Sorry to read you don’t have any ground service and traffic. I don’t have any add ons and have full ground service’s and traffic, depending on the airport.
@@TPHI17 What system do you have PC or Xbox Series X??
@@TPHI17 Here what strange... I have reloaded Flight Simulator 4 times and Ground Services is there... When I power down and re-open Flight Simulator again, all the Ground Services is Lost again...
@@victorraye57 series X
@@victorraye57 oh wow that is frustrating
DCS sucks if you want to play an immersive campaign tho. There’s no squadron management or career mode. It’s all flight model and nothing else.
MSFS might be prettier....but DCS is a better sim and Eagle Dynamics are a true David to Microsoft's Goliath. So, it's very impressive to see DCS be what it is.
The argument you just made makes no sense at all. Because it simply makes no sense to compare them.
@@burgadahz17 Why does it make no sense to compare them? Both simulate piloting aircrafts.....
@@BooliusGoozlur Yes, of course, but one can be used for combat and the other cannot. The other can carry out commercial aviation operations and the other cannot. It makes no sense to compare them.
@@burgadahz17 I fly the UH-1H Huey with no weapons....the P-51 with no weapons and both sims have the FA-18. So, when I just compare the experience there is a large difference in quality. I think that my conclusion is that if DCS had any commercial aircraft, if they ever take the time to do such a thing, it will be a vastly better experience. It is far less clunky and the flight models feel superior in the aircraft I have used. However, MSFS does shine in certain areas and I know that in other areas there can't really be a one to one comparison. But at the end of the day, they are indeed both flight sims and I disagree that you can't compare them at all. I can also compare the user interfaces and controls settings and DCS has MSFS beat there by a country mile as well.
@@BooliusGoozlur Yeah, but DCS doesn't have that. And do you think that if Asobo were to add aircraft combat to Microsoft Flight Simulator, they wouldn't do it right?
I'll repeat it to you as many times as necessary, there's no point in comparing the two to see which one is better. It's like comparing Gran Turismo with Forza Horizon 5.Both are car games but the purposes that each of the two seek are extremely different. One seeks to have a more realistic driving experience. And the other gives you the experience To be able to explore a large-scale open world.
One is not worse than the other because the two pursue extremely different purposes from each other. It would be very unfair to criticize one of the other.
That damn DCS costs roughly 3200 EURO! WTF? Is that normal???
Falcon BMS = free and is superior to dcs in many ways.
Try out AFPS Flight Simulator it’s really good on Tablets and Phones
Where is il2 sturmovik ?!?
Subscribed liked thanks
Does the military simulator have Russian tank turrets?
Nothing for Mac ??
What is the airplane @0:01 ?
Spruce goose. Will be out with Sim Update 11.
What is the name of the second game?

which airport @2:51?
My bank account: DON'T... EVEN.... THINK....ABOUT IT
still no curvature?:))
There really isn’t a top 5.
There’s DCS for combat and helicopters, and MSFS for everything else.
Drinking warm water before bed ....does nothing
Aren't there only 5 flight sims in the whole world?
MSFS Scenery simulator.
Just say you're a dirty xplane Fanboy and that you have no fucking clue, and that you've never flown it bro. 💀
Don’t show the names on the screen and I can’t understand you sometimes
Wicked video 📹
Thank you 🙌
Putting MSFS above DCS is a shame from the sim side. You can say it has more to offer because of more civilian aircraft and landscapes but DCS offers more in terms of anything military so that is subjective. But just as a pure simulator of flying DCS 100% is the winner. The United States Air Force and other militaries use DCS to train real pilots, no one in history will use MFS to train real pilots
What you say doesn't make any sense. Because the DCS simulator is only adapted for fighter jets. Obviously it is true that the MSFS fighter jets are not better than those of the DCS ones. But here's the important thing. There's no point in comparing them. But the purpose of msfs is directly for commercial aircraft, not for fighter aircraft. Both have extremely different goals. Do you think DCS would have good physics for commercial aircraft? Exactly. It doesn't make sense.
Did you mean to put 2022 in the title? The Timeskip really did erase 2 years after all lol
In my opinion, the three companies of X-Plane - DCS - MS Flight Simulator are all tied for first place. The reason is that the damaged building scenes that appear when flying low altitude helicopters in MS Flight Simulator are still not resolved - these problems have not been resolved by MS. I admit that MS is first if it solves the problem. On the other hand, X-Plane's building scene shows everything well in three dimensions even at low altitudes, and DCS has a fatal disadvantage in that it has limited flight space.
well TOP 1 must have in 2022 is called a HIGH END PC
Reviewer is taken in by a vulgar ‘Scenery Simulator’. The *convincing feel* of a plane in flight is my top priority and the blade element theory Xplane stuff doesn’t seem to translate into simulating *real world* _feel._ Aerofly gets basic aeroplane feel quite good or better some of the time but it can be update dependent and recently they are slow fixing reported bugs.
Is it on ps5
Bro bro wtf. 💀
DCS beats all flight sims hands down.
For you, I guess. Because it's extremely subjective. And even more so with a simulator that seeks such a specific purpose as just modern militar y aviation.
why microsoft flight simulator is the best compare to the other?
Because in a general aspect it is the most complete and by far. And it is also evolving for the better.
@@burgadahz17 thank you!
I bought the game premium delux.
LOL the very best is missing
MSFS is the biggest joke - I purchased it earlier this year and after a while of not playing, but keeping my Microsoft account on auto update I recently discovered that one of my hard drives suddenly gained a lot of space then I felt like playing my game again and lo and behold, the game deleted all the files uploaded and basically all my game content was gone after an automatic update. So yeah, I will never support a microsoft flight simulator game again, since they have no premise for a refund under these conditions Pathetic if you ask me
It will probably be a joke to you, because the simulator never gave me those problems.
Is there any realistic flightsim in laptop?
i play fs2020 with my laptop . you just need a powerful one !
@@telemaq76 atleast a free game an my loptop ver is 10
Im 14yerold and love realistic flight sim is there any?
i DON'T HAVE A SPAR 60 POUNDS
Any free?
DCS is """"""""""""""""""""free""""""""""""""""""
very unhelpful video ...i came here to find a plane game that i could play with my big bro he has been stressful of late coz of marriage job loan stuff...i could find anything useful only got to hear how good they are or how their trailers looked
Why did he say aerodynamics
Thankyouuu
You’re welcome 😊
Flightgear
War thunder?
Dcs for free but planes cost a fortune
Everything in MSFS is too clean. It looks unrealistic.
I was fan of flight simulator and got so disappointed at FS2020. So many bugs and errors and so many unimplemented control panels. And they announced to release FS2024!!!! R U KIDDING?
DCS is the only one. MFS is just a simulator...
UMH... Yeah?
Imagine believing MSFS a "simulator"
Imagine believing that msfs is a game 🤡🤡🤡🤡
dude your "P" and "B" words shocking my bass shaker. Think you're breath is too close to your mic
Top 5🤣😂these are the only 5😅on pc👍
👍
Thanks Aussie
