They didn't replace the lightning engine with HDR. Its been there since the beginning of the game. All that was changed is how that HDR is used (and some other thigns...)

I like the new lighting but one thing I would really like is if they could work on general aircraft visibility. Hopefully the new engine will be better in this regard. Not just the transition from dot to silhouette either, aircraft are almost impossible to sight if they are viewed from above against the landscape at any angle. From war footage and my time flying in commercial airlines, I can say planes should be easier to identify and track against the landscape.

I hate these kind of comparisons, because the game engine is completely different, but I think if they could emulate the aircraft visibility of wings of prey, maybe toned down a little to make it a little harder it would be ideal.
