Some things to make you stop and stare ...

That's a nice post!

What's amazing in this game is the level of detail in almost everything.
I was amazed to fly over France and see windmills...working like real ones!
I wonder whether they stop turning if there is no wind

Cockpit shadows is another thing that amazes me. I just can't live without them anymore!

I don't know yet if pitot heat or carb heat is modeled to avoid these RW issues, but I guess it's only a matter of time.

Aircraft with radial engines like the G.50 and the Blenheim have carb heat. Also, pitot heat is modeled (i don't know how many planes have it though, i guess all would), you just need to bind a key to it in the options

Things that make me smile;

Control cables to the tail surfaces on Moth vibrate

Clouds move and change shape constantly like real clouds

The feeling of really being high up when looking at the ground

The way the planes drop altitude when power is off, most sims leave you floating when power is off

The really great and detailed and easy FMB

The way the front crew member moves when you slip the Moth

The early morning or late day lighting and shadows

Many more to come I am sure.
