If there are still differences sure people will complain 🙂 That's in the nature of people.
 

So let me complain: The water needs color correction.

Yeah, just a matter of minutes before this will get buried in threads upon threads of AVSIM whining.

There is a video I saw on a landing in Orlando from a window seat that is side by side MFS and the similarity is incredible. 
 

found it

In the MSFS shots or in the real life shots? 😄

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

The frame rate in the real life video isn't very good.  Also, the clouds in the real life video look too soft.  Somebody has a lot of work to do.

 

Incredible shots!

These are amazing! and we can do the same almost anywhere on the planet with similar results, and not just selected areas we have improved upon, or bought scenery for.

The worst thing about this sim, is deciding where to go next 😋

OP has to be using a NASA computer to run this game and or taking the screenshots using hacks no way a Day 11 release Flight Sim out of box could look so good,       😛

I guess the left one is MSFS2020 right. It stutters a lot more...😛

Wow i really enjoyed seeing these comparison shots. Even me as a XP11 fan is amazed by this. I dont yet have the sim but these pics have made me more eager to get it. I have to wait some more months though. Hope you can post more like these!

Easy peasy!
1- Four Islands close to anywhere land.
2. Post harvest time in Andalusia.
3. Great sunset view from "A room with a view"
4. Wall in Africa looking towards Spain.
5. Mainland view of the four Islands in 1
6. No idea, so I guess I lost!

Seriously: Great shots though.

I showed this thread to my wife and it took her a minute to realize half the images are from MSFS and not real life 👍
