Rainier to the towering Space Needle, crossing coastlines, lakes, mountains and the unique urban skyline of downtown Seattle along the way. Five new aircraft will be available, including a corporate jet which is new to the Flight Unlimited series. In addition, Flight Unlimited III will feature a new weather modeling system, based on real weather physics, which adds dynamic weather simulations to the flight experience.
