FSX vs X-PLANE 11 

To be fair, FSX looks decent for being more than a decade old.

8:18 RIP Guy driving that van.

"how far we've come in the past 10 years" Perfect description of the video.

we can agree that real life is the most realistic

8:16 what was that man thinking about.

Wow 10 years difference and FSX still looks great and runs mostly on any machine

Thanks for making a review that doesn't compare the base xplane to a premium glorified fsx with $100+ addons... this is one of the fair reviews!

R.I.P. Flight Simulator X.

X-PLANE 11 for an easy win :-)

Your video makes it clear which has the better visuals and performance. MSFS goes back to the 80's when it looked like Red Baron arcade game. But through its upgrades it got better and for a long while it was the only "Sim" available. The flight dynamics were only a table based calculation and were quite often not even close. As with all newer products the flight model has evolved and more closely simulates the real flight dynamics. Microsoft has left the game behind and it is still in 32 bit, so it really will never be any better. X plane 11 is also an 11 year journey to where is today. I started with 10.45 and immediately noticed the difference in quality at all levels. 64 Bit platform gives it the edge in all areas. The flight model is very nearly there, I usually do a complete test card on all aircraft to find out what they are capable of replicating from the real aircraft. Stall series at different weights, climb performance, fuel burns and system functionality. Personally I have flown over 400 types of Aircraft from Cessna singles, light twins, Turboprops, Light Jets and Medium and some heavies. My back ground in engineering and test piloting allows me to make these observations from real world situations. Conclusions The X Plane 10/11 is certainly the better choice due continuing support and flight dynamics. I must add that single tail draggers are not modeled well with ground handling in both "Sims". Force feedback controllers when they become less expensive and get better will help as there is just no feel when the mass starts moving it is too difficult to catch visually with no "seat of the pants". As I am in Level D Sims twice a year, in my opinion, these cannot be a full training aid for pilot training but are getting much closer. Procedures and simulation are possible and helpful. They are good for pre-visualizing a real world flight within certain limits. Nice and fair comparison video and maybe before $100's or $1000's of dollars are spent on add-ons, a good decision on the platform will be helpful. CE- 500, 525s, 650, 750 and IAI1125, CL60 and a few others

An outstanding job of interlacing to flight simulators having both I really appreciate this thank you!

Great video, nice tunes. I appreciate you letting us visually make our own minds up without a lot of jibber jabber. You did an excellent job of allowing us to fairly judge between the two. Thank u

I'll go for X-Plane 11

Well FSX is better for slower PC's but Xplane 11 is More Realistic

I flew FSX on a CQ60 laptop for years and dug it until my pc crashed forever. Now I want to fly 2020 but obviously need a huge upgrade. Thanks for your very well made comparisons and info to help guide me to the right machine to put me back in the air.

What is the name of soundtrack (which is just after Chris Zabriskie's "I Don't See the Branches, I See the Leaves" -- when the planes start to accelerate)?

To be honest with both comparisons, I think X-plane 11 is Like a yard away from Fsx. I mean, were comparing a Flight simulator that was made in 2006 with a game that just cams out a couple months ago. Unless if you compare X-plane 10 with FSX, then yeah, It would be in the same place. 8:21 R.I.P Truck.

Loved FS 2004, it's what get me into flight sims. FSX has never been able to satisfy me. The first time I installed it I thought it was a downgrade from 2004. Performance is crappy, graphic is no better than 2004, default planes are no better. MS patched it twice, couldn't fix and essentially abandoned it. I would never buy mod/addon argument. Any software has to stand on its own two feet. XP11 looks promising, with some support, it could become one of the most successful flightsims. I think the mod developers will see the writing on the wall.

The most ameazing thing about FSX, is that doesnt matter where you live, there is problably a custom map from your location to add on.

for fsx how do you get the wide screen for me it has two bars on the side

The addons for fsx cost a fucking fortune

FSX been my favorite for years. Like X-Plane 11 got some excellent graphics and all but I'm always a FSX no matter what.

Hi. Could you please tell how i can download unlocked X plane 11 for windows 10? As i am downloading x plane 11, but while installing requesting activation key. I don't know how to find that key.

Excellent video and comparison. My question is , when will XPLANE11 will be out of the beta stage? Thanks, Mario Torres Puerto Rrio

8:18 Was that Harrison Ford in that delivery van ??? LOL

FSX flys like a video game compared to X-Plane, just saying. FSX can't compete as it is 11 years old. I sure loved flying Microsoft Flight Simulator for the last 25 years. But have enjoyed X-Plane since 2008. P3D is ok but also sucks out if the box. You have to spend a lot more just to get P3D or FSX to acceptable levels. I enjoy the IXEG 733 so much more than the PMDG 738. So much more fun for me. BTW I started swimming in 1986 on subLogic flight sim on the Amiga 2000. Wow sims have come a long way.

What kind of system do you use? I mean wath kind of processor and video card and so on.

:)which one is better accordingly to you ? buttons working all ,images ,graphics and ets ?how do you think ,and how to find fsx 2018 ,or there is only fsx 2006 ?Thank you :)

FSX: 2006 / X-P11:2016 (not comparable) (my opinion)

FSX was way ahead of it's time, but the other sims have caught up and even exceeded over the last 11 years. On an unrelated note, what's up with the crazy haze in XP11? Seems a bit much and takes away from the realism. Anyway, that's just my opinion, of course. I cannot speak for others.

Let's face it guys, FSX is really a legend... so many years old but it still hanging and giving competition to all these modern sims. The creators must really be proud, there is no other sim that can ever have such a long life FSX has, and you can clearly see that FSX will always stand even thou is no longer being updated. This sim is boss, it was made forever.

Can you tell me the BGM name that appeared about two minutes ago? This BGM is really nice, I hope you can tell me

As an airline transport pilot and user of good old fsx,I notice the runway lighting in X11 needs a lot of improvement,and yes,scenery way better in resolution terms but to me as matters most is the runway enviroment and lighting,and for now X11 is out of my shopping list just beause of that.Look at the flashing stobes in fsx brighter and closer to real life.How about a "comparison" of both in IMC conditions? And since i look inside more than outside,scenery in fsx is good enough 4 me and i like the exagerated blue taxiway lights,hehe...I would only buy X11 if satisfies my real life experience specialy at night,rain,fog,etc (I just LOVE imc,ifr) and X11 did not do the job,and this is extreme disappointment.Ironic fsx 10 years old,it lacks some features that X11 10 YEARS LATER didnt fullfil! Oh well... oh and to all the fsx bashers out there,I run fsx almost all full slides smoothly on a W10 64 bit laptop and X11 demo cant even run....oh well again!

Good video, I’d just like to point out those landings... he had 2 chances and ruined both! No hard feelings though! 😂

I think about getting x plane 11 or fsx steam edition (i have fsx box edition) but I'm not sure If I can handle x plane 11 because I don't know If it has a GPS for every plane which you can activate and I don't know if it isn't too hard for me as an fsx player.... any tips?

That's was awesome video, thanks!

fsx.exe has stopped working...

UI of X-Plane looks good but the sound of the engines are just utterly crap

the night lightning in x-plane 11 simply is STUNNING

before buy a x plane11,there is a question that i want to know. saitek panels is work?

Imagine a FS2017 from MS that would destroy x-plane xD

xplane was already far better in v10....only one certified by FAA and with real physics. More demanding but very rewarding....All other sims are a bit Arcade games.

Is there any option in X-PLANE 11 for turning off the Fog? The Haze ist a little bit exaggerated in my opinion...

hi there, i've bought fsx steam edition and what i see in your video is complitly different of what i have. how to do get beautiful graphiques like that??! my spec : i7 + gtx 1060 (3gb) + 16 gb RAM. thx

There is no comparison between FSX, ten year old faulty dead code that can only run DX9 (and one cannot include DX10 as it's preview code only, nowhere close to the finished DX10 (FSX was already dead when DX10 full was released), and now DX11 mainstream, with DX12 around the corner, and ANY modern day SIM, never mind XP11. You can pump all you like in addons to FSX, and it remains DX9 rendered, P3D and XP10 out the box along with DX11 beta, blows FSX out the water. And none of the notorious OOM's or CTD's due to VAS issues in FSX, with XP11. That's it game over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the acceleration of the aircarft in xplane is a bit un realistic and the choice of aircraft seems quite limited in x plane

Music that starts at 1:53?? And no, it's not any track made by Chris Zabriskie (Just checked)...

as a bush pilot seaplane flyer, try to "dock" a 172 float plane to any hard surface like a shore line or dock overlay and watch the plane jump, tip over, and crash in xplane 1 thru 11. Then do it with FSX and see the dif. FSX is still light years ahead of xplane in any flight that deals with water and I fly both systems.

Are you kidding me? Of course X-plane 11 is better when looking at out of the box software, only with payware addons, fsx will look good. The only reason why I'm still playing fsx is because of nostalgia reasons and because I have payware addons

xplane - 2016 fsx- 2006 ;/

Is there also a comparison between FS 2004 and FS X?

So far I haven't been convinced to upgrade from XPlane 10 to 11. Do you have a video of that? FSX SE still has a lot of color to it, I could tell that was Palm Springs Airport by the amount of smog....or was ir haze? Thanks for the videos I really enjoy them. After all once you're up flying, there's nothing to do but check out the eye candy............

FSX is better

7:59 , FSX kind of looks better with the runway

will fsx run on windows 10, if you set it to lets say windows 7 compat mode? im new to this. i just bought both.

The title: fsx vs xplane. First 3 seconds: I’m not going to compare the two games.

Remember FSX is 10 years old. of course out the box X-Plane 11 will be better. P3D however, With the complex addons and updates available make it superior to X-Plane which doesn't have much available. visually though I think X-Plane out the box is nice but not realistic i.e. In the real world there is not always over the top orange and purple sunsets - Which is why I think P3D 3.4 lighting is more realistic as its not fake (except for scenery night lights in X-Plane which have always been great). As a flight simmer since 1995, and for what I use it for... I recommend P3D, with Vatsim online ATC, Any Live Weather Engine, Majestic Dash 8, PMDG 777, or Qualitywings 757 / 787 with Navigraph to keep charts and FMC up to date, Orbx and Aerosoft Scenery and UK2000 and Flytampa Airports with Mytraffic6. --- And For newbies, if you dont want to spend too much and want to fly at a basic level.. buy X-Plane 11.

Microsoft FSX is still the best...X-Plane 11 seems good too...but there's lot of differences between them...you've played both as a default aircrafts and default sceneries...when we fly in noon or even night time, we can see that Papi lights helps us to land easier...but in X-Plane 11, we can't see the Papi lights even flying in foggy weather...don't let X-Plane cheat you as it is more realistic then FSX...no...with add-ons FSX is the most realistic simulator...besides, i hate to struggle to taking off an aircraft in X-Plane series...i hate to struggle about controls of X-Plane series...i can fly easily in FSX even with a simple gamepad...i completely hate that i can't fly an any aircraft in X-Plane with a simple gamepad...i can't fly even with a mouse...mouse?...why should i fly with a mouse?...besides, aircrafts in X-Plane series are not stabilized and not balanced to control them...the yaw dampers of those aircrafts doesn't work...i hate this simulator that i can't fly easily ...eventhough FSX is 10 year-old simulator, it is still the best simulator with add-ons and looks the most realistic simulator...

When playing xplane 11 does it need constant network connection?

Thanks for this well produced and honest comparison. There is really not much in it! I would have expected a far greater improvement in ten years! I am aware that the flight modelling in X-Plane is more accurate but this video shows that for the average hobbyist, secondhand copy of FSX will be a lot cheaper and there is a wealth of free and excellent addons out there. I use both X-Plane, FSX and even FS2004 for some of the extensive addons I got for it. Thanks again!

FSX looks like a cartoon up against XP11.

fs X runs only on windows x-plane runs on, windows, mac, linux, iOS and android you are nearly comparing bananas and apples.

Great demonstration , I'll ask the Xplane box for New Year.....

I'm sure I missed something but how do you know which side is what?

Why in the fuck would you compare these? FSX is over 10 years old now. XP11 just came out. It's like comparing Windows 10 against Windows XP.

Yeah, FSX is a piece of crap, but Ive spent hundreds of bucks on it and I have many planes ready to fly, Q400, Cessna Mustang, C182T, and others, very very very accurate(90 % of the systems are simulated), could Xplane tell the same????

Greate video, I can immediately tell the quality difference. Btw what’s the sound track?

Very well presented video!

I enjoyed that. Visuals are often better than words.

Just starting into flight sims, never tried it before. What do you guys recommend as a beginner? And can you still buy sims on a cd or dvd? And if I have to download them, which site is safe? Thank You everyone.

nice video~ can i know what is then name of music?

What is the music for this? Please good video BTW

hello what is the seconde music in take off please

I recall when _FSX_ screenshots came out and I thought it looked amazing. It may still hold up somewhat today, but it does look quirky against _X-Plane 11_. It did compete against _X-Plane 9_ or so.

guys I need help ,I moved from FSX to x plane 10 ,2 weeks ago and still can't get the plane off the ground ,I can't create a flight plan ,the middle button on mouse supposed to be used for up and down altimeter and speed ,mouse wheel ,but it keeps zooming around ,fuck this ,it's hell without any help

In xplane 11 can you type in any airport and go there like in FSX or do they have certain ones you can go to. Also can you create a flight plan like in FSX with any airport?

your youtube channel is the best 😁

That X-Plane landing was a thing of beauty. What a difference great shadows and lighting make.

Great video! I always reverted to FSX from each version of X Plane because I always felt the sim was incomplete. It is getting time to finally drop my old sim. FSX does have a far better variety of stock aircraft though, which is big.

Really nice split screen. I wish there were more so well prepared comparisons.

Nice Video and I subscribed to you 👍

THe Big respect to you for you work MAN!!!!!

Thanks for the video. I've been running each version of MSFS since 1998. I have a very old Dell XPS that's nearing the end of it's useful life, as is FSX (IMO). My 25" Samsung monitor quit last month, and I've been relegated to using my old Dell 20" monitor (looks like crap). I'm now strongly considering buying a 5k 27" iMac and installing X-Plane 11.

Nice vid dude

I'm a noob simmer with fsx currently. Why does everything look so Hazy in x-plane. It's not always that hazy in real life. Also noticed that at around 7:40 , the x-plane version of the runway didn't have any runway lights on like in fsx. Is that because that's not modeled in x-plane?

Well, I had talked to an American Airlines FO once in the flight deck before departure to Chicago, and he recommened this one Version of X-Plane that is apparently the only home sim that is actually FAA and CAA certified for sim practise! But it is EXPENSIVE! Like $400 or so!

I've been a Microsoft flight simmer since the 80's and love how it has progressed over the years. FSX is still an excellent tool that I use in real world flying. If I ever upgrade my 10 year old computer, I will look into Xplane11. You can't dispute the graphics are incredible.

Xplane is great for the casual simmer that wants a great sim out of the box. Fsx is for the hardcore simmer that wants the best sim possible, and is willing to put 100s into making it that way.

What does come with x-plane 11? Are we are getting the global airports or we have to purchase any airport we want fly to? How many aircrafts are eliminated in this version, which we have purchase ? I'm hopping we get all these in the CD package we purchase.

I have spent MANY hours on MSFS since version 2 back in the 80's. I will always have a fond place in my heart for that sim set, but XPlane is where its at now.... MSFS folks still clinging, make the move... Its SO worth it, and Im glad I did!!!!

Da hat wohl jemand den FLusi-Fix nicht verwendet, wegen der übergroßen Runwaylichter im FSX :D Aber super zusammengestellt. Danke für die Einblicke! Tolle Musik dazu.

I lost it when that van crashed into the aircraft on the runway :D

Name of the music from 7:30 onwards please- it rocks. :)

And with that...I think Xplane has basically just captured the entirety of the flight sim market.

what's the song at the 2nd part at like 8:14

What is the music from 4:55 ?

Does either have the 2D panel? I know it sounds insane but I'm not a fan of the virtual cockpit.

2:07 What's the song? i wanted to know please.

#X-CHECK What Is The Orchestral Intro Song??
