Actually, if you take the first shot you have there and place it next to the third shot from today's update (I think they are of similar altitudes), you'll see that the landscape is MUCH higher resolution/detailed in the new screen. The older shot looks nicer because of the ambient lighting and the large number of trees in the picture. If you look closely at the grass fields in the old shot you'll see the low-detail textures similar to IL-2. This is why everyone is so excited by today's update. SoW has come a long way since those old pictures (especially if you have the machine to take advantage of it).
