MSFS 2024 vs 2020 Compared 

"All the trees look like broccoli in 2020" I couldn't agree more! 😂

This is probably the best comparison video ive seen so far between the two sims. The difference is huge and you've done a great job showing this in good detail

Cant want for you guys to experience our Zlin Norden in 2024. Its a bush pilots dream. This this weekend, tinkering with back country light cargo running, banner towing, making her super messy with multiple layers of dirt and mud. Draco will be stunning, and everything the community have asked for, but the Norden may very well be our proudest work yet.

Love the new vegetation and colors

Great video, one of the better comparison videos I've seen. The difference the new trees make is insane! It looks so much more realistic now. I didn't try the alpha, can't wait to buy the sim next month and explore my own neighbourhood again, it's going to feel like a whole new experience all over again!

The new visuals are truly an amazing fantastic upgrade.

Great video and comparison. I am also impressed with the water masking and colours of inland rivers and lakes. The no longer look like Caribbean blue and take on more of a muddier look

Bob Ross, that was such a joy to watch. 😂 You've given me a new place to explore as well. Really looking forward to 2024. Thanks! Subscribed. As for my controls, I currently have them setup through Spad next. I'm sure they will have an update for the new sim. Spad is sooo much better and I no longer have to worry about losing my bindings due to a mandatory sim update or some random cause, which is extremely annoying! 😬 Spad is worth it's weight in gold!!!

I'm going to be petty. Please forgive me haha. I wish they'd added bushes and shrubs. The ground still looks really unrealistic, even more so with all of those pine trees and flat ground underneath. It's definitely a huge improvement but man small bushes, shrubs, and flowers would really make a huge difference. I'm sure it's too taxing for current gen systems. Great video. One of the best comparisons I've seen!

Don’t know if anyone commented yet, but you push the little “power” button on top right side of the tablet. That made it disappear. Then you’d click on the suction cup to bring it back. Now, you’ll know when the game comes out next month! I’m excited.

Well done! Looking forward to more content from you in the future!

How the heck do you have less than 200 subscribers?! I'm so excited for MSFS 2024, and I think that will be the reason I upgrade to a gaming PC. I hope you make more content like this. You have a great voice for these voice overs - it's clear to hear yet gentle to listen to. I can't wait to watch more of your content!

2020's green-tinted dirt areas like the bluffs on the left @8:05 drove me up the wall. I especially notice it around my home area of the southern B.C. Interior, where the lower mountains are mostly brown save for s few scattered evergreens. In 2020, it all has a green hue probably due to the Bing maps imagery having a green wash to everything. This comparison gives me hope. Thanks!

Great comparison video. Looking forward to more Videos from both sims

You can hide the tablet by clicking the "on" button from the tablet. It's one on the small buttons on the right side.

Those cliff sides in 2024 ❤

Looks stunning and the MSFS 2024 footage is from an alpha version of the game so the final game will probably look even better

2020's vibrancy is like those super saturated HDR photos. It's very pretty at first but becomes obnoxious over time. So I'm very glad they're toning down the colors and the green a bit in favor or a look a little more natural. Really the one thing I prefer from X-Plane's look is the palettes and the haze for the same reason. I really wanna try out how the flight model has changed now.

Best comparison i've seen.

You sold me that Game pretty well! 😄

Your channel is designed for 2024. I love the improvements to the world and can't wait to get out there and experience it!

Thanx great video. Earned my sub. Look forward to your channel and 2024.

To remove tablet it is one of the small buttons on the right side of the tablet

I've really enjoyed FS2020 since it came out. However, the green tint to the roads has always bothered me.

Great work! Thanks!

Great demo, thanks!

I don't usually fly that low to the water, but isnt the artifacts actually gentle wind catching the top of swells and causing ripples in the water? I always thought the level of derail for altitude was always off for water. Lakes looked like huge sea swells when windy.

3:08 the messed up bridges seems to be an intractable problem even in MSFS 2024

What are you talking about?

we all had a great journey with 2020 but now the new age has arrived

Excellent video, thanks, and very helpful (keeping in mind that this is still alpha). You might consider turning up your mike a bit, as your commentary mostly dissolved under the engine hum. Still, good job.

What you are calling anomalies in the water - are you thinking of the bands/streaks of small ripples? Think those are supposed to be there - typical to see on flat water in sunny weather when wind puffs moves across the lake, looks somewhat natural to me. Edit: nevermind, guess you meant the reflections of the mountains, a lot of those was really bad.

you can remove the tablet. its a very small clickspot about where the volume buttons would probably be on a tablet.

Why your aircraft is twitching so much in 2024 tech alpha? Couldn't set up the flight stick?

To me the visual fidelity of the Tech Alpha was a HUGE leap forward compared to MSFS 2020. I will also say the smoothness of 2024 in flight seems far superior to 2020.

Looks like a decent upgrade, but doesn't '24 seem blurry?

amazing video, tks!

3:30 those anomalies kinda remind me of rough water surface (not very realistic looking, granted but the similarity is kind of there). just think of them as "unintended features" lol

They rid that mold green like color from the terrain…. finally

I heard there was a button on the right side of the tablet to turn it off.

No one seems to show off the city autogen and it doesn't seem like they improved it at all. In MS2020 there are tons of cities that have one single building texture repeated on all buildings in a city, so I really hope they add more autogen variation like they have with trees, otherwise trees won't help with immersion if every second building looks exactly the same...and hand picked photogrammetry cities will never cover over 99% of the earth.

I’m interested in how the flight models will be along with weather injection. That’s what’s always been lacking in 2020 never mind the AI traffic and idiotic ground equipment.

I couldn't figure out why you sound familiar. You sound like Mason Quinn from a reaction channel called "Badd Medicine".

I think you can use the tablet by pressing "Tab" in keyboard

Is it running multi core now?

Too late now but someone should have found a "real life" video from a bushtrip, and then flown the same route using 2024 and 2020 to make comparison between real life and "video game" quality. Great video here tho.

I'm ready to move to msfs24 and never look back

Nice trees in MSFS 2024 so far, but what about the tropics? like the Maldives for example, in MSFS 2020 they still use European trees, not a coconut palm in sight, even with 3rd party software the base islands lack proper indigenous trees. I see all the tech alpha RU-vidrs, have all concentrated on videos showing off the western world, such as Canada, or the grand canyon etc, maybe due to deliberate Asobo limitations on the tech alpha where they could fly. But what is India like, or the far east, or south america? Will proper rain forest trees be represented, along with other species in their proper geo locations? MSFS 2020 trees are awful, even after countless updates they look terrible. Asobo are notorious for ignoring the communities requests, just look at their lack of a basic Flyby camera or Tower view camera despite countless requests, they never listen to the community, just pretend they do. Whilst this new sim looks better, its not a major leap forward as many are pretending. As for scratches in the perspex cockpit windows, MSFS 2020 has that also with many of its own aircraft and addon aircraft, so that's not a graphical upgrade. Enjoyed the comparison and cheers for the upload.

it's been a long time since i watched a video by an account with a mere 12 subscribers.

You just earned a sub!

Om msfs 2024 looks much better. But you shouldve used same time of day. Or is it the same? Is it such an upgrade?

Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight - peak rate equivalent to 81GB of data per hour

Why couldn't we just reduce saturation on 2020?

When you say upscaled, what do you mean, how do you "upscale"?

So they didn't fix ground textures? Shit still looks cooked

I prefer 2020 graphics

They are two different seasons

Great visuals. Microphone too close.

3:08 quick turn away, turn away....!

great video buddha

i don't see much difference, only with the trees the rest is pretty much the same

I dont like the new light its more cinematic but not realistic

MSFS 2020 compared to a tech alpha.

I stopped caring about 2024 when I heard the amount of d/l per hour. It's ridiculous.

How can you really say fs2020 is the best piece of software visually? It's not that great, some places look amazing, but most places look okay, and many places horrible. If it weren't for clouds and lighting, it would be nothing.

Your audio is distant and raspy (sibilance) and poppy, bordering on unintelligible. whatever clever filter you are running, don't. 2024 looks pretty good but the water reflections are screen space which makes them wrong a lot of the time. Not sure why they do that, doing it right shouldn't be that demanding even without raytracing

Gr8 video. I'm struggling to hear your voice clearly, though.

MSFS2024 seems more artificial

Bro wasted half the screen space with that weird 'side-by-side'

still the annoying mirror like water

should have done side by side,split screen AND exactly the same angles...

TECH ALPHA - not full version. Don't clickbait.

Fs2020 Win

using this simulated world just for msfs is a true waste of potential... imagine a cross game world where there are boats simulators, train simulators, heck even forza horizon. they should even use this world to replace bing maps...

MSFS might impress the armatures because yes it does look good, but , it fails year after year in the fact there are no warm air currents rising and no cold air currents falling . There is no turbulence from mountains from the push on the wind side to the down draughts in the Lee side. MSFS is child's kids game and nothing more .

OK, so 2024 and I’ve noticed this in every video 2024’s colors looked very bleached. They do not look real. There is more color to the world than these very bright sand type colors. There’s a lot of good things in 2024 but I think there’s a lot of good things in 2020. I think they’re both equal in their own right. The only thing that’s different in 2024 is the engine that they are using for the simulator. Other than that, I don’t really see anything that would convince me to switch my Sims at the moment. 2020 in my opinion has finally come into its own. The amount of money I have spent and the add-ons and everything that I have for 2020 at this point is not worth me switching over to 2024. Now I’m not saying that won’t happen in the future but as of right now, I’m happy with 2020 and it’s running smooth. I get great frame rates and it runs excellent in VR

2020 seems better in some places 24 looks a bit cartoonish
