Ontario scenery?

Postby michaelb15 » Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:34 pm

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.

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

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

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 -

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  :)
