Microsoft Flight Simulator is one of the most photorealistic games ever made, and sometimes it can even look better than real life. We've seen actual pilots chart trips across the digital skies and chronicle their adventures, complete with spellbinding screenshots. All of a sudden, you can look outside, it actually looks like the world, it's not abstract. it's part of the ongoing work that saw the USA and Japan receive makeovers last year - while the big sim update at the end of the year introduced virtual reality support, as well as the first seasonal weather in the form of snow.
