Just like the real thing. It's a shame they're only doing FSX, but none the less, really cool!

It looks awesome alright!!!, I don't believe it's a shame there only doing FSX, FS2004 is way old now and people need to upgrade if they are wanting the latest addon sceneries. This is why lots more addons are only FSX only and there is very limited new releases that are for FS2004 these days.

...and I think that the features which make that so great are just not available in FS2004. You can't take the full feature set of FSX and somehow cram it into FS2004 by adding a scenery.

But FSX allows so much more in terms of high quality. Only FSX can handle 7cm per pixel ground coverings. FS9 only allows up to 5m per pixel. Only FSX can handle volume shadows high resolution textures and lots and other stuff.

Good news is at least everyone will eventually catch up with hardware and will get the performance they need, because of the ACES closure.
