From the website: 'Highlights of this new version include: Dramatic new 3D clouds, dramatic lighting conditions, improved support for custom scenery, and many many new and detailed aircraft models.' Full list of improvements here. And of course the screenshots. The release coincides with the release of SimGear v2, the 'set of open-source libraries designed to be used as building blocks for quickly assembling 3d simulations, games, and visualization applications' on which FlightGear is based."

Flight Simulator 4 let you turn of crash detection, so your plane wasn't wrecked when you flew it into the ground. If you aimed straight downwards and opened the throttle, the game would crash instead of the plane (more accurately, it would enter an infinite loop trying to work out where the plane should be, and not respond to user input). Apparently this was a feature.

windows only
