I think the land definitely needs work, though. I've also noticed places which are geographically inaccurate, such as the port of Aden. It'd be nice to have more landmarks and things. I think that matters most for the airborne platforms, actually. Even so, it's still a beautiful simulation. It really isn't as bad as that.
I completely agree here.

I spend the vast vast majority of my time staring at the interfaces, which are very well done. So what people are asking for is, essentially, a major overhaul to the least important part of this game for people playing the game the way it was designed to be played.

I don't really understand the push for graphic excellence, myself, I think we'd be better off writing better software, but then again, that's why I won't be a gaming industry executive.
