This makes me wonder if updated weather and objects (if I remember correctly) could be bought as an option like it was for FSX? Oleg was talking about the Simulation engine being licensed and then other developers could create add-ons (like an Aces Expansion Pack) once it had been authorised.
So if the software is going to be licensed, then their could be future Pay-ware add-ons for scenery and environments as-well as aircraft?
I may have been mistaken when I read previous posts by OM but I was reading them with that impression being given.
It almost makes you wonder if there could be a 'clouds' only map, where the ground is actually a Storm cloud or very low-lying fog (so darkish in colour letting the player know it is the ground layer), but then all that has to be modelled is the lighter and upper cloud layers, giving just a cloud environment to fight in.
If you go through the ground layer you explode, as you have hit the ground under the fog bank, so you have to fight above it?
Just thinking out loud?

Just a thought
