We know. You mention it almost every week.

Nice to see it's been noted then.

And the landscape looks fantastic in that video too

[Insuber]

Well this means that they spent the last 4 years to remove the nice clouds and degradate the landscapes

Russians! They do everything backwards!

Just get the turbulence and atmospheric conditions right, who cares about the visuals

[airmalik]

Either we're just seeing a sliver of what's already been developed for SOW or the planned atmospheric conditions as shown in the old SOW video (below) turned out to be too ambitious.

- Real Life weather and clouds
- Authentic turbulence and atmospheric circulation unique for each cloud type
- Weather conditions changing in-flight
- Moving storm fronts and changing weather throughout the day
- Changing, moving weather, and location dependent air masses
- Overcast
- Clouds move and change shape due to wind

I'll be on cloud 9 if these actually make it into SOW.

The landscapes are better now, if you see them in HD. The landscape in the video is the same as il2.
