A SUMMER DREAM [RTX 4090]: Lufthansa LH 437: Chicago ✈ Munich in MSFS 2020

Join me on an ULTRA REALISM flight in the Lufthansa A340-300 from Chicago to Munich, in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

We depart from Chicago on a lovely summer day, pass the northern Atlantic Ocean at night, and arrive into a beautiful sunrise in Munich.

I have made this video as realistic as possible, using ULTRA settings in Microsoft Flight Simulator. I use numerous addons to make the experience more realistic.
