World
• Photometric Lighting Engine – Light brightness, intensity, spread, and more – all computed in real-time with the laws of physics
3D Water – Gorgeous global water rendering, complete with wave height controls and floatplane interaction based on feedback from expert pilots.
• Seasonal Effects – Tree color and leaf coverage vary to show season – snow accumulates, too!
• Tropical watercolors – Gorgeous, geographically-aware watercolors.
• 3D forests and vegetation – Large variety of 3D trees with variations of species, size, and seasonal effects. They even sway in the wind.
Ambient Sounds – The entire world now comes to life with FMOD sound – birds in the forest, cars in the cities, and of course, ground service vehicles.
Airports
• Tower Kit – Custom suite of endless control tower variation, east to use for maximal realism.
• Animated Jetways – Jetways move to meet your aircraft when parked at the gate.
• Localized ATC Procedures/Voices – Air Traffic Control follow regional procedures and accents around the world.
• Pavement Effects – Airport artists can choose from a library of pavement effects to perfectly capture the look and feel of airports by setting the level of cracking, oil spills, pavement material, and more.
Weather
• Volumetric 3D Clouds – Immersive clouds to full capture the sensation of flight.
• Real Weather – Proprietary algorithms to turn data from the real world into X-Plane weather.
• Wake Turbulence – Powerful streams of upset air left in the atmosphere by other aircraft – just like real life.
• Microbursts – small, powerful downdrafts – perfectly modeled with pilot training in mind.
• Thermals – Terrain-generated updrafts that allow gliders to gain altitude without a tow plane.
• Snow, Rain, and Ice Accumulation – Precipitation now accumulates on surfaces, freezing or thawing based on temperature.
