... for a 2010/2011 sim is not "awseome" at all. Ground textures look crude, lighting is very "plastic", trees are strange and the general feeling is not of "being there".

Frankly, blind fanboism is worth nothing to a constructive critical process.

Of course, it's WIP, but there's still some way to go to get to something like that (of course, in the limits of the current technology abilities) :

I'd imagine the landscape is very much WIP. I agree with you that the textures are poor, but the trees are steadily improving. I can imagine that something like that picture of yours is possible. It's all relative on the placing of the field textures and then the placing of the trees.
