I guess because MS uses global data and you cannot place every tree and house in the world. X-Plane looks so good because they have overflown the areas previously and doctored it.

I cannot believe what you say.
here you clearly see that X-plane is far superior.
Look at the graphix:

Just the graphics, it looks more like real life to me. Less saturated colors, everything looks a bit sharper, better clouds and weather etc. Both pretty close but I think MS FS looks best. I am mostly concerned about the gameplay though.

Ok since no one figured out my little prank by now, here is the solution:
The "FS2020" screenshots were actually taken from X-Plane on my PC with Ortho4XP terrain in ZL16 and ZL17 and it does indeed look better than the less spectacular screens from FS2020 (lighting and colors are better in FS2020 in screens but also is more overdone and cartoonish as you correctly pointed out)

Now you like the other one better?
Look at the clouds and the superior lighting. It makes overdone colors without the need to run Reshade.

Tbh I have seen screenshots of FS2020 that look better and others that look worse than X-Plane. It depends a lot on the quality of textures and a lot of the screens that MS2020 show hand-picked spots. but the technology is very similar (a 1'x1' tile in photorealistic Z18 will be 32 GByte that does not get on your computer without downloading, no matter what sim you use). The truth will only be revealed when you pick random locations and then compare - not fly over London or New York. With ORBX UK for example London can look as good as FS2020.
(The buildings look definitely better in FS2020, but that also means high res textures for buildings which is not exactly cheap in terms of performance)
I personally think FS2020 can not be ignored but it will be more the Forza Motorsport of flight sims, pretty to look at with realistic puddles and lighting showcasing DX12 but also shallow and consolish.

They have seasons? That would be a good reason for me to switch.

Of course we must wait how it looks with high end mods.
Vanilla XPlane cannot hold a candle to it but it looks neither better nor worse than X-Plane with Ortho4XP.
The cockpits in MSFS are superior but the fishbowl effect on outside is extremely unrealistic, and I don't get sense of realistic view ranges. Also the lighting in the storn approach is really bad.
Direct sunlight is pretty good though.

DCS is pure cancer, the Call of Duty of flight sims. Multiplayer consists of one-ships looking for a fight without any actual objective. Want a good Cold War-era flight sim, play Falcon BMS.
