Microsoft Flight Simulator’s landscapes are hard to tell apart from the real thing
We've had a steady drip-feed of new information on Microsoft Flight Simulator, which is due out later this year - there's the lavish cockpits, the impressive weather technology, the 37,000 hand-crafted airports. It's all coming together to be what might be the most convincing recreation of actual, real-world flight ever made, and a series of comparison images helps make that case.
Redditor Utherellus has posted a gallery of images that compare locations seen in Flight Simulator to photographs of them in real life, and the effect is uncanny. In a couple cases, the only thing that marks out which image is from the game is the presence of a watermark of the player's beta access username.
In a couple cases, including the images of New York's Statue of Liberty, the screenshots from the game manage to look better than the real-life photographs. That screenshot is taken just before sunset, as the light angles in from the west and catches fluffy cumulus clouds drifting over New York, bathing them in a golden glow.
