Honestly it doesn’t get better then a good combat flight sim. And that is DCS.

Personally DCS is the best due to its amazing graphics weapon systems, as well as aircraft detail. For example, the A-10C Warthog is extremely detailed with an almost 500 page manual. This goes for all other aircraft you pick up along the way. As for the maps, Persian Gulf is one of the most beautiful scenery’s in any simulator. If you take a look at it on the Eagle Dynamics KZread, they have a great showcase. This is just an opinion and hope you guys agree.

My top 5 flight simulators that i’ve played: (Keep in mind I haven’t played any combat sims) 5: Aerofly fs 2. Aerofly is in my opinion just great for being the best option (in my opinion) for mobile. It’s cheap (and cheaper than X plane mobile), is quite realistic, beautiful and it delivers just a fun pleasant flying experience. But for PC, there cheaper, better options. 4: FSX Fsx wouldn’t normally be better than Aerofly fs 2, but the addon market saves it. It probably has the most addon-active community out of any simulator. You can find every Airplane and pretty much every Airport or you can revamp your world spending just 60€, into something that would compete with mfs 2020. Sure you gotta spend some money to make it an top-notch flight simulator, but if you are using simulators like you should use them, that’s basically a given. If you don’t wanna spend any money, there still many good freewares and even without them, the sim is just a pleasant experience. If you want to take it one step further, you can check out the multiplayer. 3: mfs 2020 Well for an sim this hyped and this new, you would suspect, that it would be higher on the list, but it isn’t. That’s because the physics are basically FSX physics. The normal airplanes are ok, but again if you’re an real simmer you’re not gonna use them and instead buy some addon aircraft. Well of course the scenery is great, but if you spend just a bit of money, you can achieve a much better result in other sims. There not many addons for mfs, which is 100% a negative point, but since it is so young, we will have to see what comes next. I’m sure microsoft will fix most issues. 2: X-plane 11 X-plane is great. It has enough addons such as scenery and planes and is very realistic. It’s a pleasant experience to fly planes in it and the planes that come with the sim are ok. It looks very beautiful (second most beautiful after Mfs 2020). One large problem is, that scenery for X-plane 11 take up much more disc space than for example for FSX. But overall quite a good sim. The mobile version of it is also solid. 1: Prepar3d And the final crown is taken by prepar3d. It has even more addons than Fsx, as all addons that work for FSX also work for Prepar3d and there also some that just work for prepar3d. It is also very beautiful. But the most important point is it realism. In my opinion, Prepar3d is the most realistic sim on the market. There’s a reason it is used for Professional airline Simulators. The sim is developed by Lockheed martin. They are the producers of most of america’s actual fighter jets, so they do know what they are doing. Every move of your yoke is displayed correctly and it just feels like you’re flying an actual airplane. Many say, that X-plane is more realistic than Prepar3d. But I would disagree. It is also quite cheap for an professional flight sim. Only like what 60 bucks? If you have the money, definitely choose between X-plane and prepar3d. They aren’t that different in quality. Though I doubt anyone has ridden until here, but if tell me and you’ll get... An shoutout.

Oh yes Shane..this was a good suggestion on your part here..i know lots of people will love this... that shot of "Half Moon Bay Airport" 1:56 is so sweet...nicely done, nice landing on the fighter carrier 3:22 awesome dude, i agree with about Prepar3d, their graphics and detailing is absolutely outstanding especially for the sky.. is that you in the little single engine plane 5:25 going out for a spin...hehehe...very good work Shane..i really appreciate this video and so many others will.. my Qantas B738 video comes out on friday..look for it..

I spend most of my simming time these days either flying aerobatics in a variety of piston and jet aircraft, or doing short VFR or IFR trips up to about 60-75 minutes. Any longer than that and i become acutely aware that I'm sitting at my desk, playing a game. Being an actual pilot I can assure newcomers to simming that while it may be a real as it gets, it is nowhere as good as the real thing. But a desktop simulator is still a useful practice tool, especially for getting a first exposure to IFR approaches into challenging airports like Narsarsuaq, Greenland. I still use mostly FSX and occasionally FS9, since some of the planes I like the most hard to find for FSX. I found the XPlane interface a bit overly complex at times and didn't like having to learn a new set of key commands for the most inputs like raising/lowing landing gear and flaps.

Everytime I have tried to get into Xplane, I found the interface overly complicated as well. Having used PMDG 737 w/ FSX..... basically every button being functional and you just pan around cockpit and press buttons as needed....can't get more simpler (or more realistic).... I found Xplane lacked this, maybe it was the planes, not sure.

I like the mouse system that hovers the mouse pointer over the dashboard in Aerofly FS2, i don't like to use the controllers and this is a very well made implementation to control instruments. Even though it DO use the controllers, the feeling of flipping switches for gears and flaps up/down, VTOL VR is quite well made in this respect, but since the battery runs out in the damn VIVE controllers and i once had to land the F26 plane using only one hand, i prefer Aerofly FS2 because of the mouse control.

Over the last year, I'm flying in VR more and more... almost exclusively nowadays. FlyInside allows you to use VR with Prepar3D and FSX, but performance is rumored to be not so great. The other three support VR natively, but Aerofly FS2 has the best performance. Keep an eye on FlyInside's early access flight sim, too, though... it's not there yet, but it's being built from the ground up for VR support. Another one I'm quite fond of is the (relatively) new IL-2 Sturmovik "Famous Battles" series (IL-2. While not quite the study sim that DCS is, the VR performance is great, the flight models are pretty solid, and they've just added World War I aircraft and tanks to the set of modules (in early access). The current number of WWII and WWI flyable aircraft & variants is currently siting somewhere north of 40 right now. Possible candidate for 2020?

I'm going with X Plane mostly because I fly helicopters mainly and the eye candy for VFR flying is pretty good. I get a kick out of chasing cars with my Bell 407, and occasionally spotting a police car hauling ass up the road. I only have 3 issues with X Plane. The ground handling is unrealistic, the ATC is horrid, and the lack of AI traffic makes X Plane a lonely place to fly. Make that 4 issues, the water in X Plane just looks dead. FSX did a better job with water effects.

In 1994 I bought Microprose Fleet Defender and spent years with hundreds of hours in that Tomcat cockpit. Now quater of a century later that saw so many wonderful combat flight sim companies come and go, think of the JANE's series for instance, I find myself back in Heatblur's Tomcat in DCS and it is like a childhood dream being digitalized!

The rest? Totally unfinished products in comparison to the p3d counterparts, at least the ones I have are.

Greetings. Enjoy your content very much. I will hold my opinion regarding your review for a few days. In my last computer system P3d.V4 ran much better overall then X Plane 11. I love both sims. My new gaming rig is coming to my home on Monday. I will download both sims and compare. I have a great deal of money tied up in both sims. It will be a true joy to compare both these sims. They are great. Now I get to experience VR once I can afford a VR set up.. Yeah!!

I agree with the rankings, I've had FSX for a while, with the Acceleration version and I liked it, but FSX has run its course and it's getting ancient, unless you still have a computer with Vista or Windows 7, 32 GB of RAM and a 4 GB graphics card, bottom line, it is a 32-bit application, which is weird because Microsoft never released a 64-bit version knowing in 2006 computers with the 64-bit platforms were starting to appear on the market, but that's why P3D is available. I'm also sure a lot of us will be looking forward to Microsoft's FS 2020, which is a whole new platform in flight simulation and I think the folks at Laminar will start looking at the future versions of X-Plane.

I'm a huge Prepar3d fan. As a general observation, I just upgraded to an i7 9700k from my old i7 4790K. The performance improvements are amazing! Love PMDG and A2A.

X-Plane 11 is like super great, but my biggest takeaway from it, is that it does not have VFR ATC (last i checked at least), and that is very big and important to me as someone who wants a realistic experience but gets more freedom flying around

I love simulation games, my first experience with them was with Euro Truck 2 and I've been playing Airline Commander, which is the most competent flight sim for mobile devices. I've been looking for a flight sim but all of them seems quite confusing, I mean, I was expecting to find one where I could use the mouse to control the direction and my keyboard to operate the rest of the airplane. I also have a question about pc flight sims: the flights are just free roam or I have to create my own company and earn money to buy more planes and improve my company like in ETS?

My Top5: 1. IL2 BoS (best FM and WW2) 2. Prepar3d (Jetairliners) 3. DCS (helicopters) 4. Rise of Flight (good FM and WW1) 5. Condor2 (gliders)

Xplane is okay not enough missions. The VR is kk but mission boxes dont appear in VR they show up on screen.

Aces High is the best combat flight sim, especially for VR. Real dogfighting, strategic bombing campaigns, massive raids, MMO, open-world, battle raging 24/7, integrated squad support, over 100 planes, ground vehicles, etc. etc.

DCS not only nails the flight dynamics, it nails the systems, weapons etc. It also has decent damage model, not as good as IL2 though... I just wish DCS had whole planet to fly in.

I fully support, that X-Plane is at position 1 ! Not to forget that Microsoft never developed a flight simulator by themselves. In1995 they just acquired the knowledge from the flight sim pioneer Bruce Artwick's company BAO; formerly SubLogic. Up to the present day, laws of aerodynamics are a kind of mystery for Microsoft; just selling shiny and details airplanes and nice looking sceneries; they never made it to understand the physics of flying; in comparison to X-Plane.

I would like some suggestions here what *reliable* add-ons there are out there that would help solve the X-Plane 'look' that I don't like.

DCS for combat simulation, and X-Plane for everything else.

Is there any game that allows me to be online with 2 other people and walk around inside the plane with passengers inside? I'm just trying to recreate some stuff that happened in the early 2000s.

Didn't know DCS was made free to play. When I tried it years ago they only gave you a training map, one actual map and 2 planes. Everything else you had to buy. And at steep prices at that. Since it's all free now as you stated in the video, I may have to give it another look.

When you come here looking for alternatives because you've used fsx mostly stock for over the last decade and the first thing you see is fsx. I'm not a huge fan of injecting an already dated mess with $500 worth of aircraft and texture upgrades to make it look marginally better than stock and pull 30fps out of it despite running a 1070 and 7th gen i7. Xplane it is I guess..! FSW seemed so promising and I really wish it worked out in the end. I really liked how they approached UI and simplicity. I currently use FSX:SE and it hasn't exactly aged well even just compared to the Xplane11 demo I tried.

I have an 8700K and a 1080 and can run FSX at max settings with shaders at 60 fps. I also have a VR plugin for it (FlyInside FSX) and it's really fun and intuitive but it's a bit buggy.

FSX shouldn't be in the top 5. It has the problem to only be 32bit. Max addressable memory, 3Gb. Ramp up the details to something approaching real-life and not a vanilla-flavoured FS9 look-alike and do a long flight and you may finish it on your desktop with a beautiful OOM.

Does the X Plane 11 ATC support VFR? 10 didn't and that was a deal breaker for me

I'm not sure, I don't use the ATC, however they did a big upgrade to the ATC recently.

If I'm new to flight sims and know nothing about a cockpit would Xplane be a good starting point, with the appropriate training wheels for a newbie?

Well… used to play FSX over 10 years ago.

X-Plane 11 for Commercial/Private flight DCS World for Military flight I used to fly in FSX/P3D, but XP11 sold me entirely and I have not looked back. I do miss the extensive payware addon library that P3D has, but with more products being ported to XP11 every year, it only shows that X-Plane still seems to be where the future of commercial/private flight simming is at. I would also like to replace FSX at #5 with Infinite Flight for Android/iOS. FSX is a dead horse and you can get much better stock performance with P3D than FSX, plus enhanced stability and 64 bit support. Infinite Flight despite it's relative simplicity does an amazing job for a mobile flight simulator and it certainly does merit consideration and or mention. Yes there are better looking and more accurate simulations out there but not on a mobile platform.

Aerofly fs2 performs the best in VR with amazing Frame rates on modest hardware (has vulkan rendering ) and has the most realistic Robinson R22 helicopter flight model available. Not my opinion, fact!

Clive, I love Aerofly in VR. It feels extremely immersive thanks to its fast rendering. I have high hopes they'll expand their list of features in the near future.

Does SimplePlanes count as a Flight Simulator? If so, it is my favorite. (Because of the sandbox mode and custom aircrafts.)

My only complaints about X Plane is the ground handling, (seriously, what Cessna Skyhawk turns that well without differential brakes?) and their ATC is horrid. I mainly fly helicopters and the eye candy at low level is great. But with limited AI traffic, and that lousy ATC, flying in X Plane is kind of a lonely place.

What is the best VR headset for xplane11?

X-Plane 11 is good, but I'm not sure if it deserves to be on the #1 spot, it has a lot of bugs, even with the latest 11.41 release. It also leaves a lot to be desired, seasonal textures that don't change with every season is my main peeve with it. Flying over Alaska in the fall or winter should show a lot of snow on the ground, but it looks like summer all year long. Yes, there are plugins or add-ons that allow you to create such textures but they have a tendency to slow down the frame rates. Heck, even the ancient FSX had seasonal textures that changed accordingly. X-Plane 11 also has a mind of its own sometimes with a lot of the bugs that Laminar just can't seem to fix with every patch. I won't list the bugs but up until now, XP 11 should still be classified as a Beta version. I also question some of the settings, like "Show parked aircraft", when that's checked, you'll start seeing aircraft at airports that don't fly there in real life. Example is the Alitalia regional aircraft that are parked at terminals, they won't fly more than 3000 miles and when you see the MD-8x at KLAX, it makes me wonder, does Alitalia have non-stop flights from any airport in Italy to Los Angeles? If they did, they would be on a wide body aircraft like the B777, B767, B747, or any of the Airbus wide body aircraft. Another big peeve is areas that are usually dense, like Los Angeles, with all the Sliders that pertain to displaying realistic textures are set to Max on my computer, like the Texture Quality and the Number of World Objects, I should get a lot of buildings/houses, etc rendered on the screen, but in a lot of cases, while flying below 3,000 AGL it looks like I'm flying over farming areas! I've flown above LA and San Diego in real life and they are dense, but XP 11 shows fields instead of a lot of buildings.
