Step-by Step-animations: Thanks to FS NAT, all activity outside the aircraft will be displayed in dynamic detail. Simmers will be able to hear the engines shut down after landing, see the jet way moving toward the aircraft, and observe ground vehicles go through their paces with realistic motions ranging from docking to unloading, and so on - all with no significant effect on the frame rate.
