For example, the preorder beta includes a Seattle environment that includes downtown and the Space Needle. Flights can be done at any time of day, and in any kind of weather.
Included in the main game and the beta are training modes, single missions, time trials, multiplayer and even a powerful editor. The game can be checked out at the official site here.
