I never thought we'd be seeing these kind of visuals in a flight simulator.

Me neither.

Seriously... I'm impressed with how many cloud layers their weather system is rendering at the same time.

Very happy they listened and posted the update at a comfortable time for other time zones. Screenshots look stunning.

Also this 😲747ul9P.jpg

 

I think this picture was not supposed to be released today. The other one with the green grass is missing in the insider collection.

Not sure why but the elevators look a bit odd in that TBM picture. 

But man those clouds are simply something else, especially the volumetric ones which are on the top right of the picture which extend from the bottom all the way up. 😍
