I think it is fine in itself, but in the context of the map it doesn't blend well yet - it looks a bit too high res and high contrast for the rest of the map.
Also, I would probably be tempted into low passes, and I suspect any 2D land texture won't stand up to close inspection and would look flat...
While IL-2 has done a reasonable job of making ground detail available as well as good landscape rendering up to medium altitudes (in other games of its age, the tradeoff of hig/low alt rendering was much much worse), it still seems hard to integrate densely detailed areas with the landscape around it.
