Should be getting closer when the next gen consoles hits. Just because it hasn't been done, it doesn't mean is not possible on the current PC hardware.

No chance
Flight simulator is just scenery there isn't a lot going on. Plus it is only really you.
In grand theft auto there are moving cars, billboards, people walking around. Bullets flying.
In battlefield you have helicopters, tanks, buildings being blown up.
We are very far away from life like graphics in proper games. Open world with lots of stuff going on. Rather than just Google maps.
I bet if Google maps made a flight sim game it would be even better than the videos above.

I think you’re underestimating how taxing flight sims are and I would bet decent money that the google maps team wouldn’t even be able to make a flight sim.

It's only taxing because they have upped the graphics. Because they can because it's not a complicated game.
Can you do a 360 in a plane in half a second?
Look at war thunder. Its a dogfighting game and it's graphics are nowhere near the same because there is a lot more going on.
So they can focus on all this scenery and the minor details because not much else is happening.
War Thunder is made to run well on current gen consoles, plus low end PCs, that's why is not the next Crysis. Some players even use low settings to gain an advantage (see the enemy easier) in GF. There isn't really a performance issue with the planes (performance is great there), but is significantly more demanding on the Ground Forces side.
Traditionally the performance issues in games such as those comes from the CPU/RAM and not the GPU.
Any game is taxing if you use very large textures and high detail lighting+shadows. Try RDR2 with everything cranked up.
In a flight sim the environment itself isn't that demanding. The objects are only a few polygons each so you can have millions of them on a modern PC and it won't care.
War Thunder was made for PC only originally so you can't have the console excuse imo. Think it took around 2 years to arrive on the ps4. I have not played for over a year so don't know if the console or pc player base is where they are at. Turning the settings down has always been a ploy from those that must win at all costs like i used to when playing any kind of game where detail is an issue. Now that i would rather enjoy everything over the winning mentality i just whack up the details to get the whole experience. I usually turn anything off that blurs a game though. With War thunder it's decent looking but definitely not the pinnacle.
The Microsoft flight simulator video that grim posted above is way superior to WT but nothing is really happening in comparison to WT. War thunder is fast paced when it kicks off in the air so no real time to focus on the ground.
