My personal favorite is replay mode, I can’t wait to see what amazing shots I’ll be able to get with the system. I also really wish that the taxiway signs get improved, as they are far to bright at night.
If it’s on the known bugs list, it means they are planning on fixing it in the future. This poll is more focused on gameplay related features rather than just bugs though.
Ah yeah, the rural/city transitions are quite odd. One thing they talked about was even reducing how often streetlights appear according to population density. Will add to the list, thanks!
