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.
@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 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.
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.
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.
@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.
@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.
@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!
@360TRiiCKZ someone who agrees! i have a mac and pc and have both sims. fsx just plain dominates. the ONLY thing x-plane has going for it is… wait… NOTHING. i make x-plane vids only because mac has free screen recorders, but u have to pay for pc ones.
@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.
@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.
I love x-plane because it is more detailed an much fun
x plane all the way

@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.

@AlphaRadeon umm… fsx IS faa approved…. cathay pacific has a training simulator running fsx.
@hercdriver100 no shit sherlock

watch?v=pfDiH4Vi6zs&feature=fvsr
@HongKongBoyz100 I kno. X-Plane doesn’t even have areport scenery lol. AND fsx you can play online!!! not on x-plane. x-plane= shit
fsx=beast
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
