Screenshot of Microsoft Flight Simulator that is so beautiful that you can no longer distinguish between reality and game

Screenshots of the alpha version of

Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), a flight simulation scheduled for release in 2020, have been released for Xbox One and Windows 10. Comparing the screenshots published to real landscape photos, it's easy to see that MSFS graphics are so realistic and beautiful that you can't tell which is the game and which is the reality.

All of the images below are screenshots of MSFS on the top and real landscape photos on the bottom. By comparing them, it is very difficult to distinguish, and not only the terrain and buildings, but also the scattering of light and the reflection of the water surface are precisely reproduced.

This screenshot is provided by testers participating in the alpha test. In addition, the video of actually playing MSFS is released on the

official YouTube channel of the MSFS development team. For example, the following movie is a multiplayer demonstration that all pilots share one earth online, and the same time and weather in the game will be reflected in real time.

The system requirements for MSFS for Windows 10 are as follows. The required storage is 150GB, which requires a considerable amount of free space. In addition, since the system works with Microsoft Azure and Bing Maps, a bandwidth of 'minimum 5Mbps, recommended 20Mbps, ideal 50Mbps' is also stated in the system requirements.
