If I can't see anything it takes the fun out of it... The maps do look nicer, but I have noticed that rendering has become a real problem on some maps... such as: doing a wingtip curve around a town on the slovakia map at 1500 meters I could see the areas of the town rendering just ahead of the wing while the town parts would disappear again just behind the wing.

anyone else noticed this scenario?

Slovakia is an official map, not modded -- though many modded maps use textures and objects from the Slovakia map.
