Is there any terrain meshes for ontario? I found the landclass file which really improves on the sim but I cant find any terrain meshes for ontario. I was wondering if ive missed something or if there is none.

I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!&&

There is the 19m Canada terrain mesh, by Raimondo Taburet, available here at SimV:

is that for all of canada? when I downloaded it, and saw the coverage map included with it I got the idea it was only for a few parts of BC.

According to the description: ' It offers an improved terrain mesh for the whole of Canada'.

I used to have it (lost in a hd fail) and I believe it covered all, though I flew BC mostly. Be sure to download both parts.

Off to re-download it myself.

thats what I thought I read in the discribtion but the maps that come with the files show the coverage area to be only in BC.. I dont kno which is wrong : the map or the description.

I didnt play with the default scenery too long so I dont kno the difference.

I installed the 2 files and it does appear that the 'coverage maps' are correct. I see no evidence of the mesh outside the indicated coverage areas.

My guess is that the project was interrupted and never completed. I can't find any other reference to this project other than these 2 files.

For free terrain meshes of various parts of Canada may I suggest you scroll down on this page and have a look at the non-airport sceneries on here - http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/canada.html

And, maybe having a look on here may also offer you something from the Ontario area - http://www.flightontario.com/dl_main.htm

Cheerz. Transport Steve.

I was just looking at that actually

it looks really good, and its somthing im prolly going to invest in some time soon, but right now I cant really afford any payware, or atleast not untill I upgrade some of my PCs hardware. its already a couple years old, and has trouble handling todays games.

Until then Im stuck to downloading freeware.

thanks for the help guys there is some nice scenery in those links
