Frankly, the screen is good, but I don't understand how you can find it "awesome", when the trees are not ok, the colors not right and the texture resolution not there ? A good WIP, ok, good but still very WIP.

That's what I was thinking. Those windy country lanes in the UK are often only about 4 or 5 m wide between the hedges (sometimes cars can't pass) - that means that last carriage in the pic is pretty small! Alternatively, if the road is meant to be a main trunk road say 15 m wide, then probably it shouldn't be quite so twisty.
Another thing regarding the railway track that I think would be an improvement. I think there should be hedges, trees, perhaps even sheds, signal boxes etc etc along the railway easement. Often you can't see the actual railway track itself from high altitude, but you know it's there from the linear patterns of vegetation it forms in contrast to the more random pattern of fields.
I don't know how the landscape is put together. Maybe this is difficult because the track route is 'laid over' the background landscape, but perhaps it would be possible for the 'railway trees' to be part of the track route, rather than the background landscape so they would the follow the railway wherever it goes.
Anyway, it's all nitpicking really for a flight-sim, the pictures in general are great!
EDIT: well what you see above is the result of me reply to a post before reading the whole thread through, I see that others are raising the same questions!
