Prepare for takeoff - the next gen is here

I found this superb clip last night.

Imagine a full-blown flight simulator with this level of graphics -and containing every airport in the world -plus bird-strikes and 'real-world' road traffic etc etc.  We have the technology to make such a simulator nowadays (but it would cost big money).  But GTA5 at least gives us a taste of what's possible nowadays, and in the future.

GTA 'Traffic in motion'

..and all this running on 7-year-old PS3 techology and a little gamepad controller (which produces awkward view panning and control).   How much better it'll be on PC with joystick etc.
