  • What song is this?

  • Xplane 10 is great but if you have been given an aircraft and you want better (even happy to pay!), you can't most aircrafts are not made professionaly, in xp 10, there is a very well improved 747-400, but still many things are not clickable and not operational, Fromm what i know this is never the case with PMDG 747-400, yes you pay but atleast its an option!!!!

  • X-plane lacks quality addons like PMDG and most of their addons don't have virtual cockpits. Orbx, Carenado, fsdreamteam, wilco, justflight, CLS, etc all quality addons that continue to develop and update FSX. Ill be getting PMDG 777, Coolsky DC-9, and Ground Service X soon (with it, i can get luggage trucks, catering and animated people to come around and service my aircraft). My flight school exclusively uses FSX to train us and I'll be gettting my private pilots license in the Summer!

  • X-Plane 9 and 10 are the best for a lot of reasons...

    1. They use Blade-Element theory, which makes it much, much more realistic than FSX and FS9 combined.

    2. X-Plane 10 has Open Street Map, which places all the roads almost accurately.

    3. It does not crash randomly in mid-flight, unlike FSX which will make an error and then you have to restart the program.

    I am keeping FSX as my secondary flight simulator, but for now, I'll use X-Plane 9 (I'll get X-Plane 10 later) as my primary.

  • Flight simulator by far but I would take FS9 over FSX missions because they let me practice with the air controls and if I miss a transmission (since I never intend to sit and stare at clouds for a 3 hour flight) they continue to ask if I acknowledged their last. In most FSX missions they co-pilot confirms for me and I don't get the right direction or misguides me (on the secret shuttle mission I descending and he told me to go back to 14k feet. I did. Big mistake).

  • @20284488 You and the people who gave you a thumbs up probably want to fly as a game. People who fly FSX play because they want to use a simulator not a game. I know 4 real pilots for multiple big airlines really well and they all use FSX and PMDG aircraft to practice. Three of them tried X-Plane 9 & 10 but they just see it more as a game for people who are more amateurs (no offence) or are less serious about flying etc. Just saying

  • Which is newer fsx or fs9 because I want to get the newer version ps xplane is decent and I had the fsx demo it is great

  • FSX Beat fs9 x plane 9 and 10

  • DO ME A FAVOR GET XPLANE10 ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAN FSX and 9 COMBINED

  • @cwm1285 xplane series is so cartoony. fsx is realistic. fs9 is low res. go check out vids of Jon5700 and you will see.

  • @Magicpianoteacher Why don't you check out X-Plane 10, which uses Google Street Map so the roads are where they are in real life, the planes are much more realistic than FSX and the flying is much more realistic. To say anything, I think FSX is much more "cartoony" than X-Plane.

  • @hazzabazza33 may i ask you, for complexity(scenery, memory, flying, realism, etc.) views, which is better?

  • @Magicpianoteacher X-Plane 10. You see, this is what I hate. Since FSX is the most used flight simulator it is always the best. You give no other sim a chance. XP10 is actually revolutionary. Just search XP10 on YouTube and you will see...

  • @hazzabazza33 but, gotta try XP10. where to buy it?

  • no doubt that fsx is the best flight simulator out.

  • how did you get fs9 out to the space???

    mine won't let me pass through 370000 feet...

  • FSX is the best, I also tried X plane 10 and FX wins... Best graphics, best handling, best addons, ...

  • 3:03 is photoshop program...

  • but if you want cheapest buy FSX i have fs9 and fsx but i have x-plane demo of course...

  • but fsx is still better graphics but fs9 get better graphics when install sony vegas...

  • FS2004 is Old LEGEND!!! ;)

  • FSX all they way

  • X-plane10

  • In HD FSX and X-Plane 9 wins!

  • Microsoft flight will Defiantly be better than all 3

  • FSXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!! BULL SHIT FS9 IS A CRAP...:P

  • I am X-Plane user, right few days ago X-Plane 10 BETA Demo came out and well... It needs a great computer, but It's for the graphics. I think X-Plane wins. Just watch my videos and you will see, that You can have fun in X-Plane 9 and also you can do very realistic school circuits with it. I reccommend X-Plane.

  • X-Plane IS AWESOME FSX and FS9 are kind of lame

  • Obvisiously FSX. Buy a couple of addons and you will get the ultimate experience!

  • the x-plane is a crap for FSX is the best

  • Comment removed

  • why i hate X-plane? cuz YOU NOT RECORDING THE FS2004 AND FSX

    AT 2:09 to 2:54

  • Xplane

  • x-plane is the best

  • x-plane 10 kills all other sims

    

  • lol the day i switch to x plane is the day PMDG goes out of business (which well never happen).

  • YOour musak bored me too much I switched off.

  • @20284488 Well microsoft flight dont forget them

  • ok i take flying lessons in real life. I use fsx for help. then used xplane. it almost made me **** it"s so fucking bad! if you want a sim get fsx or fs9. i perfer fsx though. I hope i solved the problem.

  • @fsxtutorials101 Your no pilot. 

  • @fsxtutorials101 lol if you say so, i have 140hours in a B747-400 simulator and trust me.. x-plane is the closest you get to the real thing in terms of flight dynamics...

  • were do u get fs9?

  • Have you ever seen pilots train using FSX? Never has it or will it happen... FSX has better graphics though.

  • nice video.. whats the name of the song?

  • 1:30 haha FS9 world has 28 sides!

  • u sed default b744 wen it was clearly a 747 (in FSX)

  • The water in FSX looks MUCH more realistic then any other when you run it with DIRECTX10 -.-

  • x-plane 9 for all the different aircraft and graphics also the scenery, i think x-plane is more of realistic flying while for FSX is more of just fun flying around.

  • @Cathaydude Scenery is much more realistic and complete in FSX. Default aircrafts mostly suck on both, and theres more good addons for fsx, so I choose fsx. Probably going to buy X plane 10...

  • I love the water effects in X-plane 9, but i think I still prefer FSX.

  • I hope by green airport you meant tf green as in rhode islands cuz that's where I live and when I take flying lessons I fly out of there. And I never thought that people even knew it excisted.

  • FSX is what I run, but its a pig on processor needs...however, the new X-Plane version 4 is looking awfully dang tempting...I might make the jump..we'll see soon wont we?

  • I have them both and if you download REX, FEX, and UT add-ons for FSX, it blows x-plane out of the water. Also, add-on airplanes from Aerosoft and Real-air are very realistic. There are way too many glitches for x-plane and it feels like a beta version of something out of a developers basement.

    -real life pilot

  • @surfbum5412 agreed but u forgot PMDG?

  • I have them all, x-plane looked better on my older pent-d, but on my i3 fsx blows it out the water, as far as my 2 cents on the physic go.

    X-plane has the "base physics" which all planes are built on, this works well apart from its stuck with its only limitations (not perfect)

    FSXs plane physics are down to the plane builder, comps like Aerosoft do a great job, while some others can be hit and miss......or just crap.

    overall I like FSX cus, 1.I grew up with MSFS 2. ATC 3.traffic 4online

  • i have both x plane and fsx but fsx i think has much better graphics and traffic and its only one CD x plane you need to download 5 disks and they take 9 hours eatch so fsx is better than x plane

  • i have FSX but i think x-plane looks just as cool. why do people not like x-plane as much as FSX

  • This Is How I put the creators of X-Plane and MSFS,Creators of MSFS; A big company that focus al little more than on Just a FS. They have Comp. OS X-Box, and Mirosoft Office. They only come out with updates every 2 to 4 years i guess. which means, no small bug fixes and stuff like that. MSFS Has better and more scenery than X-Plane, doesnt make it a better Sim Just makes it better scenery wise. It might have better cockpits in the aircrafts than X-plane. Theres more i could say but... thats it

  • @ehemeyer25 Laminar Researches; Focuses on on Thing, X-Plane. They come out with periodic updates for small bug fixes the first up date i had when i got X-Plane was like 9.30 like a year ago and now there on 9.70. and they've alredy got a release Monnth for X-Plane 10. Which if you look at night pics on google looks so real.

  • FInally a comparison vid that actually compares!

    Conclusion has two c's :D lol

    Overall good vid, btw i only have fs9/fsx so I would say FSX gets the award, this debate will still continue even after Microsoft Flight arrives!

  • x plane has better scenery on the elevation on mountains and hills, which i really like, i dont like flying around flat boring land

  • Why did you call the 747 a 744?

  • @RadioControlDude13 Short for 747-400 just like 777-200 is 772.

  • Take it this way:

    FSX has more addons

    X-plane has less

    Which means FSX is more popular and easier to create on

    and X-plane is less

  • @alexgets98 because FSX is windows only, windows is the most common os out there, x plane works on mac and linux, so it is less popular

  • @HongKongBoyz100

    By the way, stop trolling around.

    You have posted like 6 comments in a row. Have you got nothing better to do than argue about a stupid simulator?

    If you like FSX, then go play, no one is stopping you, but dont bash other simulators just because you dont like them.

    And oh yeah, you stated Xplane has graphics worse than fs2002.

    Heh, check this link out, and don't start trolling on there either.

    watch?v=pfDiH4Vi6zs&feature=fv­sr

  • @AlphaRadeon umm... fsx IS faa approved.... cathay pacific has a training simulator running fsx.

  • I agree that both have pros and cons. I also agree tht they are just as good as each other but when x-plane 10 comes out then I hope that i am right in saying that it will be better than FSX.

  • Both are decent sims, but look anywhere and you'll see that everyone agrees x-plane has better physics. FSX does also have ok physics but you're just mentioning one of the several thousand planes available for x-plane. Just watch some video's or compare when actually flying the sims, most of the planes handle way better on x-plane. Don't get me wrong, both are very fun programs.

  • fsx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • fsx dominates in physics, details of aircraft, runway and airport textures, traffic systems, flying realistics, and add-ons. take a pmdg 747 against every single x-plane addon and it will not be a hard contest. x-plane has slightly better ground textures, but that changes when you get ultimate terrain x for fsx. i only make x-plane videos and not fsx videos because x-plane will run on my mac, which has a built in screen recorder. my pc running fsx is much better for simming.

  • @HongKongBoyz100 FSX has better scenery. That's the only way its better. When you said that FSX physics are better, that made me lol. FSX looks pretty and has nice textures on the planes, while x-plane is a real flight simulator as opposed to a game. Sure x-plane is ugly as hell, but its way more realistic of a flying experience.

    I thought that is was universally known that x-plane is way better in the physics department.

  • @MrBigyellowbus seriously?! the physics in fsx dominate x-plane. i fly c172's and x-planes default 172 makes me feel like im flying a diamond katana: touchy as hell. i can take off at 15 knots in a 172 in xplane. thats slower than it takes to fly my ultralight (in real life)! I could land a 172 3/4 down the st barts runway. if that is "realistic" i'll eat my shit.

  • @MrBigyellowbus oh but i do think x-plane is fun and a pretty good sim, fun to fly, and it is compatible on mac, so i can fly around at school ;p

  • @HongKongBoyz100 By the way, the minimum speed i could take of with the c172 was 60 knots with full flaps. Seems realistic to me.

  • x plane all the way

  • I love x-plane because it is more detailed an much fun

  • The sky, the weather and the water texture might be good in Xplane but if FSX uses the add-on REX 2.0, we will see who is the looser...

  • fs9 is best for smooth gameplay graphics and game physics i would personally say just my opinion

  • watch?v=k-5-boe6QCY

    check out x planes demo vid of the planes they have

  • yes both are tied...X-plane= better flight dynamics, better customization and ease of use, amazing/realistic flight dynamics..realistic water and terrain. FSX=better add-ons, more operational realism (such as FMS and more support for vatsim), better eye-candy and buildings etc. X-plane=get if you like GA flying and realism of flight. FSX=get if you want to fly VATSIM and if you want to fly heavy airliners.

  • @ibaneztippman i actually prefer ga flying in fsx, i believe flight dynamics are better actually. i fly cessna 172's (in training) and in the xplane version it is WAY to touchy. also in xplane i can get the plane to 30 knots and not stall!!! thats the speed my ultralight (in real life) flies! i do make xplane vids though because xplane runs on my mac (which has a free recording system) but my pc with fsx is much more realistic and juste plane fun (pardon the pun)

  • @HongKongBoyz100

    The default planes on Xplane are terrible. If you get some addon planes, you will realise they are much more realistic than any FSX aircraft.

    Xplane uses real time physics simulation while fsx just uses codes off air files.

    Plus in Xplane the stalls are much more realistic when it comes to trying to recover the stall.

    I am an fs9 user myself as I believe it is in between fsx and xplane, but xplane wins some of the realism.

  • @RainfulPhenix you fuckin kidding me mate? ever got fsx addons? pmdg, flight1, aerosoft? plus there is atleast a 1000:1 ratio of addons from fsx to x-plane. 99/100 addons you get for x-plane are absolute SHIT. ever seen ORBX scenery? cheap as hell, some of it even free, and it makes you feel like you are really flying around the real world. search FTX ORBX in google and go to one of the products, look at the screenshots and then try the 3D tour they have. Then tell me who has better addons.

  • @HongKongBoyz100

    IT looks like you have never, ever even tried out the full X-plane.

    Orbx? Yes, great addons. But guess what? Buy xplane and you get 60GB worth of custom scenery. Meaning unique scenery.

    Xplane does not need scenery addons as everything already comes with the package.

    I think you should do some more research. And swearing over a fucking home computer simulator makes you look like a small kid.

  • @RainfulPhenix hey guess what? FSX HAS ALL THE SCENERY OF THE WORLD AS WELL DUMBASS. I HAVE the full version of x-plane AND fsx and they both have all world scenery. the only difference is x-plane scenery looks like dog shit! if anyone needs to do more research, its you mate. oh and guess what? fsx manages to put all of that scenery into just 13GB, unlike x-planes ridiculous 60GB. I am asking laminar research for a refund because it swallowed my hole f*cking computer with shit scenery

  • @HongKongBoyz100

    You sound like an idiot to me.

    that 60GB is EXTRA ADDON SCENERY. As I mentioned before *unique custom scenery* is just the same as *addon*

    it is your fault for buying such a demanding simulator for a shit computer of yours. that 13GB of fsx scenery is just stock scenery. You have an option for Xplane to install an extra 60GB worth of "addon" scenery.

    And oh yeah, Xplane is FAA approved. I have done my research mate, and you are wrong.

  • X-plane 9 IS THE QOREST SIM I ever had. I can run fsx at medium settings but on x-plane even the lowest setting is unplayable and city mapping for most part is inaccurate compared to fsx and the real world. And it's annoying when they have there boaring ads

  • i have fsx acceleration so i hate to admit x plane is better.

  • song?

  • FSX + Orbx = eyegasm

  • @drbackjack Amen brother

  • both FSX & x Plane stunning graphics.But more credits to fsx.

    We'll see what happen when Microsoft Flight launched :D

  • The water, airport lights, slopped runways and overall graphics, and the aircraft dynamics are better at X-Plane. Microsoft is not getting much better over time, since FS 2002...

  • FSX And FS9

  • Comment removed

  • i love them both But FSX looks cartoonish

  • @lobbyhobbybobbydubob lol without addon that sure, but what issure that xplane suck, 60 giga for what:shit lol

  • @lobbyhobbybobbydubob what is that supposed to mean?

  • @lobbyhobbybobbydubob LOL i was searching and i found your comment again? wtf?!

  • @OpticQ haha yea i know man you know thing is when im looking around for FSX vids i see people posting FSX videos with Low settings up to10-30 FPS and they get like 50,000 VIEWS!!!

    & My vids are Max Settings with REX flying in New York getting 40-55 FPS and i only get like 100 Views per vid LOL WHY??????????????? i have Full settings with NO LAGS

    Click Here↓

  • @lobbyhobbybobbydubob lol youtube has been taken over by machinima and others

  • @lobbyhobbybobbydubob don't you mean x-plane 9 because everything is on ultra high and it looks like your actually in the air in real life.

  • @SonOfCivic every thing in fsx looks real

  • @lobbyhobbybobbydubob My opinion - X-Plane looks cartoonish. The only two better things that X-Plane has over FSX are default aircraft with better physics (I never use default) and better water textures.

    FSX on a low-spec computer will look like a piece of crap.

    Mid-spec? Average, at most.

    High-end? Acceptable.

    Core i7 OC'd to 3.8GhZ with 12GB of Ram and an nVidia GTX 590 with an ASUS motherboard and a 512GB SSD and two 1TB 7200RPM WD RAID? YES. Best flight simulator experience, period.

  • x-plane ftw

  • FLIGHT GEAR

  • X-PLANE !

  • fsx,,,,,,,,but x-plane has curved runways defualt.

  • i think fs9 is the best to be honest ;D

  • FS9 takes the cake

  • FSX water effects are better than that... I don't know where you looked and which setting u used but...

    Xplane and FSX have their ups and downs

    I couldn't attach my joystick to Xplane demo and THE MENU'S FREAKED ME OUT

  • FS1 FTW!!!

  • FS9

  • Hey, legoman that means 747-400

  • @hercdriver100 no shit sherlock

  • whats the song?

  • FSX default boeing 744 ?

  • C'est dommage que tu n'estpas montré les cockpit virtuels (enfin de toute façon merci pour cette vidéo :) )

  • x plane 9 sucks ass the atc doesnt talk back to u and they say the same thing over and over its just annoying recordings and theres no menus or anything and the airports are incomplete fsx has everything

  • I'm goin for X-Plane ( I use it so it's my favourite)

  • FSX does have way better airport scenery. Would love to have it for x plane.

  • The thing that makes FSX that little bit better than X-Plane is the fact that there are so many add-ons for FSX and virtually none for X-Plane

  • I think both are great, but X-Plane is designed for realism and is more of a simulator than FSX. FSX was probably designed to be more fun, but is slightly less realistic.

  • @MyVideoHubOnDell FSX has great graphics but X-planes physics and plane models are much better

  • I think FSX is best for graphics and X-Plane 9 is best for physics and flight models. I agree with FlightSimNZ, if they were put together, it would be amazing

  • song?

  • for me is 1st=FSX, 2nd=X plane 9, 3rd=fs9 aka fs2004

  • X-plane looks good but it doesn't make fun to play :(

  • @fshlps X-plane isnt meant for fun. It was built for realism and performance. FSX is a game for people looking for some fun :)

  • Gotcha, didn't realize that about the 747's. My mistake. I've just never heard that. I'm more proficient with the 737-800, not the 747's. Thanks!

  • FSX with Ground Environment X , Real Environment X, Airport Addon, and PMDG 747/LEVEL D 767 <3!!!

  • x-plane yuk. It seems like the aircarft is a kit and not a airplane i perfur fsx or fs9.

  • Actually it is a 744. Which is a 747-400.They all end with 7 so its been dropped to shorten the ATC call to 744!!

  • It's called a Boeing 747, and the 172 SP's shown in Microsoft Flight Simulator were actually older versions of the 172. They are not comparable to the newer 172's. Also, the water effects shown in FSX were not set to maximum, though it appears the X-Plane settings were more or less on high settings. I liked the lol's for the X-Plane though :) Nice video (wasn't trying to be mean, just pointing out the errors some might want to consider before buying one of these programs.) :)

  • makes me wanna go play X-plane now

  • x-plane 9 is my best !!

  • FSX is better. Not a LOT better but a little bit. I've watched videos of XP9 and the graphics are not good like FSX. In the vid, FSX water was....not good, cuz it was not at its best. And are there any X-Plane 9 "Legends"(whatever, there's not word to describe) like Cessna154? Nope. C154 does/plays/flies FSX. Not good traffic in XP9. In my opinion, as in the opinions of most others, FSX rules.

  • @ashermamen234 yea, that too lol

  • conlusion wht the heck is that

  • FSX water looks kick ass if u have REX 2.0 installed

  • FS9, Great performance very consistent. Looks good and plenty of addons

  • X-plane 9 is almost out dated. X-plane 10 is coming out early this year.

  • @Jamesbaby286 Yep, and I (you can as well) get it for $29. What a bargain!

    I paid $100 for FSX years ago...

  • @mathieuemi666 LOL? i got fsx for 23 dollars (us). someone scammed the shit out of you. plus, we get microsoft flight for $10 if we had fsx. now THATS a bargain.

  • @HongKongBoyz100 It would be very a shame if you had a so old game for its original resell price when it came out ($100).

    Anyway... Flight Simulator is dead. X Plane 10 is the future and it will have no competitor.

  • @mathieuemi666 u forgot Microsoft Flight :)

  • FSX and X-plane are a serious tie....

  • LOLOLO XDXDXD x plane DOH. i vote fsx, the only thing good in xplane is the water.

  • @45tycoon amen

  • fsx is best

    

  • for me 1 place FS2004

    2 XP9

    3FSX

  • 2:27 is that cerro moreno in chile?

  • I'd say FSX cause first of all, it's from a company that I really like, Microsoft. Second of all, its more well done than x plane(more realistic/simulator)

  • I got X plane 9 and Fs9 and um... the features of FS 9 + some of the graphix from X plane + X plane's physix would put FSX in its place.

  • @OhStylo the GRAPHICS from x-pane? LOLOLOLOLOL the x-plane graphics are the most shit graphics in the world! fs2002 has better graphics than that shit!

  • xplane sucks fsx rocks

  • In MSFSs, you can communicate verbally. In X-Plane you have to type to one another. Also the radio is more realistic in MSFSs than in X-Plane. Austin Meyer, the creator of X-Plane, says in X-Plane 10 most of these problems will be solved. Also the graphics will be higher and the system requirements will be lower. I wish I knew more about Microsoft - I would be able to give a less biased approach.

  • 360TRiiCKZ that too can be changed by installing the right plugin. There are downs to X-Plane. For instance, you can not fly from Earth to the Moon. On default there are no weapon effects and explosion effects. The sim takes literally 5 minutes to start and there are even more downs. MSFSs have superior MP capacities. In X-Plane, you need to know the other person's IP address and you can only have up to 20 people playing on one server. {continued in next comment}

  • ...Sure, you have to download that scenery, but most of those files are free. 100mdb, in X-Plane, you have to select weither of not you WANT those lines by going to the rendering options window. Because (in X-Plane) the lines are so detailed having them there could slow your computer. Same thing goes for many other features. At 2:14, that is fixable by installing downloadable plugins. Yes, almost the whole simulator can be changed by installing plugins. {continued in next comment}

  • I've never played FSX or FS09 but from what I've heard about them, I think X-Plane's the best. The only advantage I see about Microsoft's flight simulators vs the ones from Laminar Research is the Multiplayer-friendliness. Like PlaneAU said, "Xplane runs on a real physics engine, fsx runs on pre recorded tables! Meaning an a380 can be made to fly like a cessna!". Also, all of the scenery in FSX has better counterparts in X-Plane. {continued in next comment}

  • If x-plane and FSX combine= the best simulator ever.

  • @FlightSimNZ You mean Microsoft Flight ;)

  • @fshlps correction: x-plane 10*

  • @FlightSimNZ yea.do you know when will it come out

  • @fshlps No, they havent released the date yet.

  • @FlightSimNZ i think late 2011 \ early 2012

  • @fshlps Well, their original release date was November 2010 so im guessing around mid-year.

  • yea but you don't get to transport passengers. ISN"T THAT THE WHOLE POINT!
