Very nice pics thank you, the lighting in the first one is incredible.

Seems like the grass size issue is fixed!

Unreal. So exciting!! I can't wait to find out more info on the bigger planes! I'm hoping the silence on them and lack of interior screenshots mean they're spending a lot of time on them!

Name of the picture is "Shortgrass.png". And the name of the picture with the Grand Caravan is "Undulating.png".

Yes, they listen.

Woah that Poland screenshot. Glad they're doing custom landmarks in many countries.

I just wonder what will be released first, the partnership series or the game

Pictures look amazing. The lighting is simply awesome. So looking forward to this.

Do you think its taking 4 years to develop because they probably spent 3 of those years reading these mega long avsim threads?
