I'm not going to debate the graphics in MSFS vs DCS in the MSFS forum. But in this forum...for sure. I 100% disagree that MSFS has better graphics. They have a full globe and AI rendered objects for the most part. So the base textures are satellite imagery yes. I find the low quality detail of the objects that are AI generated obnoxious at best with the details being amalgamated and not refined. I get that it's a trade off for things you mostly don't see close up. That's fine. They are using a different lighting engine. Regardless of that, I don't find the DCS terrain cartoonish. You'd have to decide which map to compare. Caucasus...yeah, not so much. NTTR, Persian Gulf, Syria, Marianas are fantastic. NTTR needs to be more tan and less pink, yes. But, easily as good as MSFS. It all depends on where and what you're looking at.
