Detail textures help but I they are not the answer.
What is needed is new terrain rendering engine.  :D

I'm sure there will be protesters but this "polygonal" looking scenery is not 
very nice in my opinion. Yes it works but it doesn't even begin to resemble 
real life scenery.

Out of curiosity has anyone ever used TerraScene?
(synthetic scenery generation app for Fly! and Fly!2)

What were your impressions of TerraScene besides the scenery footprint?
