Will planets be looking the same as before for vanilla E: D players? (I'm in 1.5 Beta 3 now and can see that landable planets look same as before)

1.5 Beta gets updates same time as 2.0. It actually was called 2.0 in-game during beta 2 stage.

I have new graphics options for terrain quality and terrain generation distance slider, and blue half-circles around landable planets on system map, but these planets appearance in the same as in 1.4 release.

Will we get new planet looks (without landing obviously) at the moment of 2.0 release?

I don't think they've confirmed it anywhere but I would guess they'll update the external models for everyone, it makes sense. I would assume people who do not own Horizons will still be able to fly up to the exclusion zone as always and see the terrain up to that point.

Either way, I'd like to know as well, I bought Horizons myself but I'd still like to know.

I don't think they really start to look different until you get into orbital cruise and you can start to make out the topography. So for non-Horizons players there will be no change, but they will be seeing the same thing that the Horizons people see up to the point of OC (which for non-Horizons will drop you out of SC at that point as it does now).

Currently in Horizons beta they look a lot different from a distance (way before orbital cruise) compared to 1.4 :)

Im happy to hear this.

Planets dont look that nice if you are close to it, you see the textures popping in and out. This will mean that on XboxOne we also got better textures for planets i hope.

I would have thought that the 1.5 planet detail will be changed according to Horizons changes that were made to the trunk.

Otherwise, you'd be forking the code (I would guess).

1.5 players only, wont be able to do Orbital Cruise etc...

I'm at Merope in 1.5 beta 3 now - if you know a planet there that definitely look different from super cruise mode in Horizons, I can get close to it and confirm.
