Looks nice but FS2020 put the bar so high, those visual are in need some improvements to not look dated right now. I still think this engine will be cool for a City-Building game across all the planet, so you can build without boundary.

Well, looks like the modding community is already at it.

Somebody even created a nifty plugin that procedurally generates flocks of birds.

If the plugin API allows it, other, flight simulator specific plugins like AI/ATC could be possible. But somebody's got to start without a commercial goal as the community does still seem too be too small for a decent return of investment.

Andfly has been on that scene for years, and anything she puts out is guaranteed to be unique and creative.

Sorry... had to post this for a bit of comedy relief as FS forums / scorned FS developers pass through 'the valley of the shadow' and cope with 'anxiety' from waiting for MSFS-2020 release August 18, 2020:

Awac9 has always had a terrible computer, but even with low settings and no AA active, you can see some promise, here.
