One must see the thing in movement : screenshots look cartoonish, but videos look almost realistic (only critic, the green colors perhaps a little too vivid).

But I repeat, what amazes me at most is the quality of the lighting in the cockpits.

There's a "Dark Bow" shadow effect on forest, ahead of this flying No. 302 Polish Fighter Squadron Hurricane. It seems to impact as well the isolated trees.
It's particularly visible around 3'35" and 3'45" on this 720p Full screen video.

Shadows/LOD popping in I reckon.

The interesting thing is that either all our whining about colour palettes etc has been used as input or we have been crying about some old build while they have had this build for a long time which quite frankly looks amazing to me...

Ok, a bit too much saturation (color) maybe but heck - there are hedge rows, trees placed where you expect them, no weird shade of violet and the whole landscape looks like someone enabled a lot of shaders that where of on the dev shots we have seen (which is probably the thing we have not seen before)...

Conclusion - the discussion if sim <insert name> maybe looks better etc was for no good - BoB is the xxxx - and that's good

Lesson (as many times before) - believe in Oleg!

Repeating myself here, but for me it's the complete opposite. All of what is shown here was already part of the development updates in one form or another. It's definitely great to see everything integrated and working finally, but I fail to see any new shaders, textures, objects etc...
