However we still haven't seen any finished 'in game' shots in high res with DX11, whilst this might be done for a reason many including myself begin to wonder why, add this to the fact that luthier as already stated that alot of features have been pulled from the intial release then its fair to say that some spirits may have been dampened slightly after waiting so long for our 'cinematic' flight sim. But you are right it will be the best there is, but probably not as good as we hoped it would be.

I never expected the trees to look as detailed as the 3d models, that is unrealistic and anyone who ever expected that should be slapped in the face, wake up..

That just isnt reasonable from a technical and optimization standpoint, this isnt a first person shooter..
