I never played the franchise and I'm not into flight simulators at all, but I have to admit: this is fucking cool for some reason. The trailer is awesome.
With simulator games, especially flight simulators, the relation between technology and game quality seems like the opposite of what's been going on for the last decades with "AAA" gaming: flight simulators have always been held back by hardware limitations as well as graphics.
Technology has come so far that it's possible to simulate so much more than before, which, in the case for this flight simulator, directly increases the gameplay experience positively. That goes for the graphics as well. Better graphics=better simulation experience and atmosphere.
