The environment in particular is impressive, since it is practically one digital copy of the real globe acts. Hundreds of screenshots have already been published, all of which look fantastic. Even more fun than simply clicking through, but it makes it easy to see where the picture was taken on earth.
A fan has therefore built an interactive map on which you can comfortably click through. Here you will find over 100 images, including all confirmed airports. But it's best to take a look yourself:
The map should always be expanded in the next few weeks. Some of the screenshots also consist of recordings that the creator drew from videos. According to the description, the whole card should have cost him about 40 hours of work. It is also particularly practical that you can already see a few confirmed airports here. The most prominent include:
- Heathrow Airport in London
- John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York
- O'Haire Airport in Chicago
- International Airport in Los Angeles
If you want to have a complete list of airports after the release, you will be busy for a long time. The game is intended to simulate a total of over 40,000 real landing sites. This even applies to the luggage of passengers.
