Aerodynamics

Well, they completely knocked that one out of the ballpark.  In many of the video clips shown you could see dynamic movement of the airframe during flight.  Super excited about this aspect of the sim - and about every other aspect.

It does make me curious as to how all the "lookup table" addons are going to do when being ported over to this blade element theory-esque aerodynamic model. Especially when it comes to Airbus aircraft. The FBW is a pretty finely tuned thing in the way it interacts with the world around it.

They'd have to have dynamic movement of the aircraft given the stated complexity of the atmospheric model and their comments on the aerodynamic model.  Should be interesting.

In the frooglesim video it was said that the old flight dynamics system from Flight Simulator X was ported over, for comparison purposes. It could still be included in the final simulator to allow for some compatibility with old add-ons.

They confirmed it's not the blade element theory nor the old table model, it's something new they developed themselves, and the comments by the creators is it's a truly next-gen tech for the aerodyamics. It feels and looks real enought (the complaints were more about the saitek yokes not being so much precise).
