rohan,
The textures in the shots are GEX textures, not default FSX. The deafault FSX textures are shown on Roger's post (No61) I believe. GEX textures do have that appearance in order to give a 3d look which is actually light sensitive when seen from a height. In my opinion they are at their best from a height of 700ft and above, which is not that bad. However, their appearance in the sim is dynamic and can not be judged by screenshots only. You have to experience their performance live in the sim.
It's all a matter of personal taste and preference.
