Cliffs of Dover is the Best. (A few screenshots).

these pics DO look terrific no question about that! Especially the combination of morning fog and dawn lighting look great

Anyway I'd rather fly a sim with partly dumbed-down graphics like it is now and can actually FLY the sim smoothly than just look at the graphics, shout "WOW, it looks so beautiful" and then exit, because I can't actually use this as a game.

Lets just hope that they are able to get at least some of it back (maybe in the sequel) without a loss in fps.

My earlier vershion plays just as well as the current beta, but the beta has a better sound...a real dilemma for me

Ah I miss those graphics. I think when they redid the lighting to get rid of the Shrek green noon hour colors they fudged the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There was something truely fun about going for a solo morning flight with all the sunlight, clouds, and fog. I really wish they could bring that stuff back but with keeping the sounds and stability of the newer versions of the game.

I guess we can hope the sequel can deliver and return the channel map to greatness?

Nice sunsets , but the sim delivers on action too:
