So realistic in lighting. Love how the night sky is black. Remember the days of flight sims where the night sky was more or less grey and one could easily make out the horizon?

Gorgeous.

Impressive…most impressive.

Sh..it looks so real, I am hard time telling if it is virtual or real image.

Oh sweet, saw a picture of a Citation X. 🥰 Still waiting for photorealistic environment.

Looking very nice!

[OlliePen 88]

Lookin' sharp.
When can we start watching vids that have all the new goodies put together?

Wow! A wet pavement in 2022. Who could have imagined it. Ground breaking stuff!🤣

You don't understand the meaning @jarmstro !!! Do you ????

[Joke MODE ON]

It's not simply the WET visuals !!! - it now correctly models the molecules of water and the various contamination agents that mix with it, as well as the resulting spray when the wheels roll over it. Each molecule is simulated independently ( there's a flag in XP12 to sign if you're on a quantic processor, otherwise these effects will be disabled for your convinience... ).

Jokes appart... c'mon man, it does look cool !!! Well, at least cooler than what I've been able to see in another sim you also persist in using ... one that has kind of "quantic-logic" real weather - you either see it or feel the effects, but not both...

All I care about is the flight model. None of this eye candy rubbish matters at all. At least that is what I have been led to believe?😀 (Joke Mode ON)

You can say it loud! Pavement getting progressively wet or snowy according to weather conditions! 😍

And the effect on weather on aircraft (icing/tire friction) will likely be more accurate than in other sims! Ground breaking indeed! 😍

You're right again in mentioning flight model! It's not only eye candy, but weather also has an effect on flight/ground physics! 😍
