I've been following the SimHQ thread - have to say that I actually prefer how the terrain is looking in this week's update compared to the 'Spitfire from the Heinkel cockpit' pic.
For me the terrain in that shot looks over-saturated and 'cartoony' in comparison. The trees aren't integrated as well either.
I'm not saying that the current shots are perfect, but I see a process of improvement in how things are developing. While being too pastel-coloured, this week's shots are closer to real, photo-like colour balance than any I've seen so far.
(especially pic 2 - the Hurricane at medium altitude - when I first viewed it in a web browser on 1680x1050 screen it looked very close to photographic and I was very impressed. Viewed more closely at full-scale the pastel-tones become more apparent, but I really think that things are moving in the right direction)
