Ok, but at the location where i live i do allready have the airfield (EDGM) in trechnes when using the old scenery data, but the hills around my city would be a lot more accurate. I allready tested that with a STRM Terrain viewer. The hills do look much more realistic with the new 3 arcsec data: http://www.dgadv.com/dgtv/ So we allready have the problem with airfiels on embankments or in trenches.
