Interestingly enough, I'd say more progress has been made over the last decade in my other sim interest (Orbiter) than the progress we've seen over that same period in the FSX/SE/P3D family. Granted, graphics were better to begin with in the latter than the former a decade ago, but my point is it seems we've hit a bit of a wall with these sims, where other sims (and from my knowledge of XP11) have made increases.
So all that to say, it's exciting to see our sim making some progress on scenery provisioning front.
