I really wish once they finish this major graphics overhaul they can bring back these ambient light reflection effects as an OPTION in the graphics options menu. Players who want it can enable it and players who don't can disable it.
They disabled it long time ago and I sorely miss it. Made the sim really stand out to its competitors and made it as real looking as possible.
A few memories in these screens:
Especially notice the beautiful orange glow along the hurricane leading edge and the 109 engine nacelle/cockpit.
Stunning
