A lot will be and has been said for this game’s scope of representation but the reason it really works in motion is because of the lighting engine and sound design

Gooooood morning TL, we're fueling up at McElroy Airfield in tiny Kremmling, Colorado. Heading out to Denver today!
We're gonna be right at the service ceiling of this plane, 14,000 ft, which is juuuust enough to get through Rollins Pass. They got some pretty big mountains out here
then you get over the mountains and find the subdivisions
in the queue at KDEN behind a real life delta flight
@kate this is how the mountain moves itself around

@kate [concert goer voice] denver! that's where I live!

@kate this has such a powerful denver metro area energy that I feel like I should be able to place this exactly but I can't for the life of me figure out which suburb it is
LA at night...this game really is something else
