I agree. As computers become more powerful and technology advances you have to expect to see more time spent on the little details. To hear the arguments of some here, sims would become pretty stagnant. To me the ultimate goal is photorealism in every way coupled with dead accurate physics and flight modelling. In another 15-20 years, I think we could be pretty darn close if the same level of progress continues. SoW is looking to be a nice rung in the ladder toward that goal.

I also don't understand the "why bother with so much detail, you can't see it at 30,000 feet"? My thought is...Right, so you can't see that much detail at 30,000, but you can see detail at 1000 feet. Why not make the argument about night flying and ask something like, "I can't see the ground at night, so why bother modeling it?"
