I know this is not their fault, but here is something I really don't like about Ultimate Terrain.


Taxiways and 'farm roads' are getting picked up as streets, and this cannot be disabled; at least I haven't been able to.


I loaded up the airport that is surrounded by our farm. I was shocked to see all the landclass around the airport, which is in a very rural area, had been changed to urban. This is because the mapping programs they use pick up all the dirt roads we built around our fields as city streets, and it picked up the taxiway around the airport as a city street.

It did this all over the area, so what was a rural area is now miles and miles of urban sprawl.

I pulled up google earth and turned on streets, and it does the same thing ( i think they use navteq as well? ). It shows them all as streets but w/ no names. and a lot of streets are misaligned, which causes a host of other problems.

Anyhow, I unchecked the enhanced roads option and residential roads option and the problem did not go away. Some areas are fine, but its just annoying.

Again, not the UT programmer's fault, but it'd be nice if the mapping companies they get information from could be more accurate.

Its also now apparent that many airports in FS9 are misaligned, and now have highways running through them.

Anyhow, its still a nice program.

difference with mega scenery is that its photo-real, so it should be pretty accurate.


with ultimate terrain, its mistaking rural dirt lanes for city streets and making this gigantic urban sprawl.

so a city of 5k now looks like a city of 50k when you fly over because of the landclass changes it makes.
