i think we need to accept the fact that the graphics will never be photorealistic and always have some element of 'game graphics' in them if you know what i mean.
I wouldn't say that. Look at the direction FS is already headed in. Plus, Do you think that when FS first was released they thought that the graphics would ever be this advanced? I think not. With technology upgrading almost daily, there is no telling what we may see in the next three or four versions.
