Just a few quick commands that will improve the appearance a little:
1) Select everything in object mode, just like it is when you first load the
model in ac3d.
2) Object menu, optimize vertices.
3) Leave all selected, switch to Vertex mode.
4) Vertex menu, select "Snap together by distance".
A guy called Rafael is using this dataset (url below) (the South America part)
to improve the terrain in MS Flight Simulator. Here are some before-after
screenshots of some parts of Brazil:

Hi,
Running latest CVS now (well, as of yesterday). Flying 747 out of default
