Add to that the strange mecury rain and you have a good example about how not to create immersive effects.

At least the second part showed some better scenes; the forests arestunning and the ground textures are simply very well done (even after being filtered to oblivion and back). Although I'm still feeling that the maps aren't to scale; seems the landscape moves too slowly. Hard to say though without playing it myself, which I care even less about after this video.
I would second that. Two words came to my mind watching the video; DARK and overdone.

I've never been in a plane on an overcast day where I couldn't see the instrument panel because of shadows. It looked more like the video was taken at night with a full moon and no instrument lighting.

The forests were nice though.
