now thats some nice landscape...

AMAZING, living in the Swiss Alps, I must say that this render engine gives a really good and accurate description of a mountain landscape.
I also really like how the forests are shown, the trees are perfectly placed, in a realistic way (just hope that the trees in BoB will be placed as well).
Colors are also quite right, at last for the country where I live.

I ditto the above, although Zap has made some good points; the absence of grass for one.

however, the trees look awesome; especially the way they seemlessly change from small objects to larger ones as the plane gets nearer.

Let's think of something though; even if SoW isn't as good as this (or doesn't look as good from such a great height) with 3rd party applications this could change in the future. Look at what some groups have done for fsx. Some of the additions have been awesome for sims like that, and the samecould be true for SoW.

... really the feeling of flying over the Swiss Pre-Alps.
It's extremely well done !!!
