VFR Toronto - Real and Simulated Flight Comparison - 4K

[Doering]

A visual comparison of Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) with a real world flight over downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Video recorded with the belly camera on the TBM 930 in the sim. GoPro (Hero 9) camera mounted to the upper wing of my Van's RV-9A plane. Both videos recorded at 2,500' ASL and flying at 135 -140 knots following a ForeFlight flight plan.

Very nice comparison and it really shows how good FS2020 graphics are on a capable computer setup. Thanks for showing it to us.
I have flown my friends RV-9A and I can see why its popular world-wide. It flies extremely stable but then it is also very quick and maneuverable when you want it to be. Turning off base to final for landing was so stable that I think its one of the very best handling airplanes that I have ever flown. If you fly one.........you want one.

Same thing with an A320...Apparently according to a lot of people here the flight dynamics and graphics are no good and it is really only a game
