MSFS Compare looks of PC and XBOX X
3Press SHOW MORE below game box and read my PC to XBOX Series X MSFS thoughts.. No Talking.. No Music.. OLD PC Gamer doing the XBOX Series X thing, while still hanging on to the Old PC. Both PC and XBOX X had the UPDATE 9 installed before recordings. I also checked the content manager and updated all files but oddly, the XBOX didn't have the Garmin 1000 update like the PC version had.. The Cessna 172 does have more life and weight in the handling now.. anyways..
I guess one of my all time favorite games is Microsoft Flight Simulator. I just cannot believe how far it has come. Without a doubt the best Fight Game on the market, with the most realistic full world attached. Nothing comes close. With the Pandemic and all the scalping going on for the past few years I decided it was more cost efficient to look at the XBOX instead of updating my PC after four or five years. I am just amazed at what this little box can achieve in this game compared to my current PC setup. It took a year and a half to find an XBOX Series X at MSRP!
Sure, If money was free and didn't matter, I would pay scalpers and make a super PC system that will be outdated in 5 years or so. But that is not the case. Money does matter and this $500 XBOX can play this flight simulator with reasonable FPS even at 4K! unfortunately, my old 1070 has a hard time doing 60fps on 1080p with this title, so doubt it could do 4K.. So, for the frugal and po'folks like me, who don't need the best of everything, here is a video swap of each, with one audio track (XBOX) and when the PC is on screen the letters "PC" will be displayed in the upper right corner. Running on 1080p..the XBOX does it more fluidly at 80-120FPS, while the PC does it OK at 50-65FPS. The Consoles are so good these days.. why spend more than needed for gaming? Especially when most titles come out on Consoles first now.. and with GamePass, it is a no brainer.
If they only had all the flight controllers available for the XBOX, I could probably overlook the lack of VR (just add Oculus umm Meta support guys, works great on PC Version) and the community folder.. wish they release MeigsField as an historic airport icon in the in-game store.. but anyways.. I am looking at the Turtle beach Velocity one (https://amzn.to/3LTy7pi) yoke and controls, but it is not fully functional for the XBOX X yet.. which seems odd, as it is one of only two flight setups available for use with MSFS XBOX 1.5 years from release.
The Area is Kalamazoo Michigan to South Haven Michigan. An area I frequented a lot in my first thirty years of life.. Gobles, Bloomingdale, Bangor, PawPaw, Grand Junction etc. I am/was from Chicago, but I had a lot of family in this area and was good fun in my youth for fishing and hunting while visiting.
Remember.. My videos are how "not" to.. but still have fun.. I just put these up for me to look back on.. they are not always something people may like.. and I am "OK" with that.. Enjoy
Game is running on XBOX Series X - No Graphic settings to adjust.. Just resolution of the XBOX..Which presently is 1920x1080P at 120HZ HDMI.. while the PC is a 1070GPU running on a 8700k CPU.
