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.
