10/29/04 Arnhem2000 with SRTM 3-arc and autogenic scenery at dusk -  © Frits Tappe

     10/29/2004 I am a victim of my desire to get the max out of the mesh underground, which for Europe was based for the longest on GTOPO30 (~ 300m/pixel) data. With the help of FSTerrain by Martin Wright, GTOPO30 data files could be transformed into 3 arc/sec  (~90m/pixel) like data. Instead of one pixel representing lets say 100m altitude you ended up with 3x3=9 pixels of 100m altitude. Manually altering the data pixel for pixel was the only means to approach real 3 arc/sec data. A huge job, which I have been doing for all this time till about a month ago. Then I got hold of the latest SRTM 3-arc data for Europe. You got it!

At the moment I am again manually altering data in and around Arnhem, as even this latest data doesn't reflect the mostly man made deep valleys to accommodate roads and RR's;  "cutting a hole" in NL2000V2.91 exclude file system to allow for MSFS autogenic scenery and altering the land class determinations to enhance the more forestry surroundings of Arnhem.
