Advanced Night Lighting

Aircraft lights illuminate the ground in multiple colors
Apron flood lights
Runway, PAPI and approach lights
Taxiway lights
Night lighting for cities, bridges, airport buildings and terminals
Adjustable panel lights, realistic cockpit illumination and dimmable displays

Customizable Flight Conditions

Dynamically change the time of day during the flight
Adjust the visibility on the fly
Cumulus and cirrus cloud density and height
Adjustable wind and turbulence
Thermals and slope updrafts

Instant Replay Function

Review your takeoff or landing to take some epic screenshots from the perfect camera angle
Pause the sim and move the replay slider just like watching a movie

Air Traffic

Simulated air traffic based on tens of thousands of real world global airline flights
Airline, Cross country and local flights
Optional flight labels and flight path traces
Animated aircraft models with rotating propellers, moving flaps and landing gear
Traffic is automatically removed when the player wants to takeoff or land and a collision is imminent

Flight Missions & Time-Skip

Select from recommended 10,000+ real world airline flights and immediately start flying
Adjust the flight conditions, routing and/or aircraft if desired
Lots of custom flight presets for sight seeing, practicing and flying challenges like the circling approach into Innsbruck
With the push of a button the aircraft can be teleported along the planned route to skip long and boring cruise segments
Combine the time-skip with the immediate selection of a new flight mission and you’ll be able to visit many new places very quickly

Flight Assistances

Copilot can fly the aircraft from A to B fully automatically, just press ‘c’ to give control to the copilot
Copilot can be used to maintain current path while the user goes AFK for a second, like having an autopilot with auto-throttle in every aircraft
Optional assistances have been added that can help the user during the flight
Assistances like automatic landing lights, automatic caution/warning mute after a few seconds, auto-tuning, auto-propeller speed, auto pressurization, etc.
Many quality of life features like automatic tiller nose wheel steering with rudder input when not assigned otherwise have been added

Pilot Log Book and Achievements

Pilot and aircraft log books to review recent flight paths and to track flight time
Statistics of takeoffs, landings and flight time per aircraft and in different aircraft categories
Achievements for different aircraft categories
Achievements are non-invasive, there is no pop-up or sound during flight

Realistic & High Quality Aircraft Modeling

Fully interactive high detail 3D modeled virtual cockpits
All aircraft fully VR hands compatible
Accurate 3D model shapes
High resolution textures and realistic materials

Modern Simulation Engine

Modern C++ core, custom coded game engine
Native 64bit and Multithreading
Vulkan renderer & VR support
Very fast loading times and very high frame rates
Background loading to prevent stutters
Supports Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android & SteamOS

Aircraft

Realistic Physics

Full multibody simulation - Fuselage, wings, stabilizers, engines, landing gear parts and more all move independently from each other based on physics laws
Native simulation of wing flex - no animation
Native simulation of landing gear compression and flex - no animation
Realistic ground and flight physics
Detailed aerodynamics simulation using multiple airfoils and control surfaces per wing with realistic simulation of flaps, slats and spoilers
Simulation of full 360° airfoils so even deep stalls or flat spins are fully simulated
Realtime thermodynamic cycle simulation for turbofan, turboprop and turboshaft engines

Custom Coded Aircraft Systems

Very high level of system depth and thousands of custom coded systems, caution and warning systems
Full cold and dark startups in most aircraft
Realistic Autopilot that operates just like the real thing, with full LNAV/VNAV features, auto-land, protections and mode reversions
FMS programming using MCDU and CDU devices including IFR procedures like departures, arrivals and approaches
Custom fly-by-wire simulations with realistic handling qualities and protections
Authentic EFIS displays including electronic checklists in modern airliners
Realistic radar altitude callouts

Scenery & Airports

Photorealistic aerial images
Detailed 3D Cities
Comprehensive scenery coverage with 3D buildings and trees
Custom modeled points of interest (POIs) like castles, famous buildings (in Europe more than 500+ POIs)
New library buildings and structures like towers, cranes, antennas, powerlines, churches, chimneys and cooling towers, fuel tanks and grain silos, etc.
New wind-turbines that rotate in the wind
New building types and textures, new building and roof shapes
