They're not that apparent to start with. When you focus on something a few miles away they just disappear. Overdone in my opinion, and not an important graphical feature.

Hawaii? no not realy you must pay for it if you want it.

you are wrong, Flight is entire world, is modelled and is there, lower resolution but is there...

this is a pic from an F14. the sun are not in the pic and you can see the shinning marks in the glass., maybe in a ww2 fighter, this details are more increment because the poor conditions in airfield, environment and construction designs and materials of that time. (omg, i go so far with this)
it gives you get more inmersive in the game and realism.

Its not that bad actually, the terrain isn't low res in fact they detailed some very nice areas. The FM is so-so what do you expect even FSX is the same but this is very clean and fun I guess. Its never meant to be a hard core sim. Just have fun with it.

Thread closed... enough has been said, you might want to take this discussion to a MSFT Flight forums.
