If you're already using the media vps, you'll be amazed that FS2 can look even better. Major additions are some new hi-poly models and tons of normal maps (makes the textures look more "textured").

HUGE NOTE: The thread has complete, detailed instructions, but I wanted to point out that you need to use a new, experimental build of the game engine. In my experience the newest builds are stable, but you may want to avoid them. Details in the thread.
