This time around, many of the screenshots showcase the game’s impressive weather in the form of beautiful (and in some cases rather threatening) cloud formations.

Of course, there is plenty of room for some of the aircraft simulated in the game, including the latest additions, the airliners Airbus A320 and the Boeing 747.

We also get to see some lovely night shots and another look at Microsoft Flight Simulator’s beautiful environments.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
