I used MSFS a lot for practising VFR navigation / dead reckoning skills, very helpful for that with how good the scenery is. Not sure I could achieve the same in XPlane

[GekkePrutser]

Yeah if you fly VFR in areas you know real-world, it's really helpful to have the photorealistic scenery in MSFS!

It's only photorealistic if you use 10-20m DEM, otherwise any mountainous area just feels completely off and unrecognizable (try to fly over Alps with the default DEM, I couldn't recognize anything around Oberstdorf etc.)

[GekkePrutser]

I don't know the alps area :) But I find the surroundings of Barcelona very realistic!

[bitL]

Does Montserrat look realistic in FS 2020? I remember how recognizable it was from Tibidabo but I couldn't find it when I was flying around Barcelona last time.

[GekkePrutser]

I think it does yeah. You only see its iconic look really well from the Barcelona angle though! I'd have to check as I haven't really paid attention to it to be honest.

Just tested it and you are right - they seem to have fixed it with the Iberian update.
