Okay, let´s see…
1.)
The cities and buildings haven´t changed.
(No scenery was replaced by “FSX-like” low quality buildings, and no differences in structures and layout of the scenery. No ugly 2D-bitmap trees just being an X of two flat bitmaps but the same real 3D-trees and great 3D trees forest visuals to enjoy on the side of the runways and in the scenery.)
2.)
The overall rendering distance can easily modded on the PC in the config file.
3.)
The quality of the clouds was downgraded several months ago and this awesome icing effects also disappeared to 95% several months ago - with no one writing a single word about it.
But we got the biggest sh*tstorm in history about something that looks the same as before? 
Strange strange…
I would recommend Asobo to just upgrade the rendering distance for PC-LODs significantly (for the LOD´s that cannot be modified with a config like airplane LOD´s or shadow culling - double or triple all these draw distances for PC) to have zero immersion-breaking pop-ins and pop-ups on PC.
And bring the old clouds with shading and shadowing and this cool icing visuals back, and everyone should be fully happy
