Excellent 
But, don't forget that many of the textures have also bump textures with them (BumpH) and they also works, showing certain depth of relief or shadows.
It is easiest to see that effect on Besarabia map: set weather to "Clear" and time to 8 AM, then look bumpiness and shadows of the hedgerows for example, then set time on late afternoon, maybe 5 PM and watch bumpiness and shadows, they changed.
That is very cool effect that not much people are aware of, and I don’t know if this works on settings below "Perfect". Textures without that may look flat and cartoonish.
