I had just assumed that you'd be able to view leaves on trees because it is common in Speedtree games like GTA V....This shows what's possible in games now - imagine what would be possible in a few more decades or centuries...
From blades of grass and leaves on trees
And the trees in Far Cry from 2004:
From that first screenshot it looked like you could see individual blades of grass....
But this is what the grass looks like in Flight Simulator 2020 - in ultra detail mode.... This is what trees look like close up in ultra detail mode: It seems to involve "directional sprites" (like Wing Commander) where it shows different versions depending on its orientation to the viewer. When not in low detail mode it fades between the different orientations.
On the other hand it only cost me A$1 to obtain the game.... which is for the first month of XBox Game Pass membership then it is A$10.95 per month (for the PC membership). (I didn't want to pay $80 earlier on)
On reddit the people said that it is a flight simulator so the trees don't need to show individual leaves - but there is a drone camera mode and in New York you begin right next to Central Park...
Here are the controls:

Though when I start the game it says my computer doesn't meet the requirements (it is an i3) but it runs at pretty good framerates even in ultra mode. (I've got 16 Gb RAM and 4 Gb GTX 1080).
