    I’m having such a good time with the MSFS in my Xbox series X that I don’t want to worry about building a $3,000.00 PC. I know the PC with an RTX 40xx will be better, but the difference in quality and options don’t justify paying that much for a PC only to play the game.

    Thanks for the great comparison. I’ve been flight simming for years and like you I enjoy the “beauty” of the views. I used to build PCs to push what I could get out of FSX etc and would tinker for hours trying to get the “best” settings, instead of just enjoying what I had. Clearly the PC version had superior clarity, but to your point was it worth 6x the cost, and the cost of the time you invested tinkering to achieve that performance? Not sure it would be worth it for me. I may pick up an Xbox series x simply because it doesn’t have all the options that would lead me down the path of tweaking things instead of just enjoying and playing.

    • @mzgarage
      @mzgarage  Před rokem

    Great comparison! It would also be interesting to see a comparison in 2k. Clearly for the rtx 3090 you would not see any difference compared to 4k but probably for the Xbox you could find out if there are several more details in the scenarios due to the lower stress of the internal graphics processor lower than the rtx 3090.

    Nice comparison, I came to the same conclusion at the end of last year and bought the Xbox Series X and the full Turtle Beach VelocityOne setup, with the yoke, quadrant and rudder pedals. I didn't want to sink 4-5k USD in a PC and top of the range graphics card straightaway. I still have the option to do that and retain the controller setup.
    What would be good is to estimate a PC setup that would equal the Xbox series X in terms of performance, but would give you the flexibility of a PC setup in terms of add-ons like VATSIM and an upgrade path.

    • @mzgarage
      @mzgarage  Před rokem

      It depends on the TV. On the Xbox, its renders the sim at 1440 and upscales it to 4k. The fps from the Xbox (on MSFS specifically) are limited to 30fps unless you have a 120hz panel with variable refresh rate. Many of the newer TVs do have this feature for gaming. I used the Xbox on my TCL 6 series 625 (2019 model) with 60hz panel (no VRR) and was happy with it. You won't feel like you are missing something until you use something better in my opinion.

    Interesting comparison but I would hope $3k pc is better than $500 xbox - went down Xbox X route myself as my old pc which I ran FSx okay on would not even load 2020 & no regrets for the money - games runs very smoothly with good detail. Pair up the xbox with the Hotas joystick, keyboard & mouse & you have the same near enough. I acknowledge you do miss out on freeware but I am happy to compromise on that. Not sure $500 would even buy you the graphics card in your rig? We are even getting the PMDG 737comimg out on xbox next month which is even better news.

      Yes, the Xbox is a real value. The graphics card in my PC )RTX 3090) still sells for over $1200 on a good day.

    While the PC version clearly won, as it should given the difference in hardware, at a certain point you mentioned colours looking more saturated on Xbox, more 'accurate' on PC, but you very clearly had the two versions running with the Sun at different positions in the sky:
    Examining a still frame at 6:35, the planes were flying approximately north, from the Verazanno Bridge (I think?) at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean towards Manhattan. On Xbox, the Sun appears to be on the left, behind the aircraft, and low in the sky, casting a shadow of the tail on the planes left side. On PC the Sun is very clearly not in the same position, not casting a shadow of the tail, just of some of the left side, suggesting it's higher in the sky and lest to the plane's right. The two clips were taken either at a different time of day or the same time of day at a different time of year on the game's calendar/clock.
    Upshot is the Xbox sky is more red, the PC sky is more blue, slightly different weather going on in both given the cloud configuration, too, with a near clear sky on PC, and some light whisps on Xbox. This was the reason your Statue of Liberty looked a different colour on Xbox. The light was different due to the Sun being in a different position in the sky. I'm not sure we can draw any conclusions about the accuracy of the colours from this, and as far as I know there IS no real difference between the colours on the two versions, and shouldn't really appear different if used on the same monitor.

    It's clear that PC is superior in every way outside of price. When it comes to visuals, performance, the myriad of peripherals ie: joysticks, throttles, yolks not to mention dials, switches MFD's, etc along with VR makes PC a clearly more immersive experience. No one in their right mind would choose an Xbox over a PC when it comes to flight simulation. While I think it's great that console players can enjoy MSFS, by no means is it even a fair comparison.

I have it turned off on the PC as my monitor does not support HDR 10, it has its own proprietary "HDR". When I used the HDR on my TCL TV on the Xbox I think it looked pretty good, I didn't see a huge different with it on vs off.

    Great comparison. After spending about 700€ on a Series S, VF1 yoke and a wireless keyboard I have the ultimate FS experience. According to your footage, the XBox is at least as good as your ultra spec PC. And zero time lost on tweaking, installing, troubleshooting and endless irritation.

    Personally, i want 60 fps at least most of the time. Simulation for me is about immersion. When you pan the camera on 30 fps the immersion is gone. I dont get why its always say "in a simulator you dont need high fps". It seems to me that people only justify that common hardware is often not capable to get you decent fps in MSFS. After all i dont get why you would want to use an Xbox for Flight Simulator?! Press X to Land.

    • @mzgarage

      I agree. Perhaps I should have specified a number. From my experience 60fps is great in MSFS. When I said high frame rates, I was referring to other gams like first person shooters when people want 150+fps. I don't think that's necessary.

    A lot of the negatives on the Xbox are due to recent downgrades to the LOD. In SU10 the Xbox version was practically identical to the maxed PC version. Since then the rendering distance on Xbox was significantly reduced, resulting in the current mess.
    Also, I would way that it seems you’ve somewhat desaturated the footage on Xbox. The colours and lighting on the Xbox version are vibrant and equal to the PC version here but in your video they appear muted in your Xbox footage. I’m assuming this was accidental.

    • @mzgarage
      @mzgarage  Před rokem

      Yes, I am glad I am not the only one who noticed the decrease in LOD with SU10. I was amazed with the Xbox when I got it, but had not gone back to it in a month or so once I got a PC and that was right after SU10.
      I did not edit the color in any of the footage, but like I mentioned in the video there are many variables from capture, edit render, and upload. In my opinion I think the Xbox footage look more saturated. The Xbox footage was recorded with HRD on, which the way the editing software interprets the codec may make some changes on its own.

    I found this video because I have some questions.. I think this video substantially clarified my questions but.. I will still ask you guys.. I obviously noticed a huge difference in graphics and details between a high end pc and even the xbox sx.. is it only because the obvious difference in GPU or is it also because the console game is free on the xbox game pass and therefore they give a watered down version on console? In other words if I was to actually buy the game on the xbox store would it have a higher graphic accuracy? I doubt it but I thought I would ask (snice there are many games on console that look 1000% better than FS on console as far as accuracy and precision of buildings and landscape)?

    • @mzgarage
      @mzgarage  Před rokem

      Your first point is correct. It just comes down to graphical/computing power. While the Xbox series x/s are incredible machines for the price, they cannot compete with higher end computers. In addition, the graphic settings on the Xbox are locked, so you really can't give or take from certain areas to get the experience you want. I am using MSFS through game pass in this video on both the Xbox and pc, that would not make a difference. MSFS is probably one of the most power hungry games/sims to run and that is why it had to be toned down to run smoothly on the Xbox. I can get 30-40 fps in high populated ares ie. airports and big cities on my PC with ultra settings and while playing Forza Horizon 5 in extreme settings I am getting 80-90fps.
