Ultimate Terrain X - Europe Edition has been completely redesigned to take advantage of the new technologies in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, providing you with the largest, most superior terrain environment to date.

Ultimate Terrain X contains the vast majority of roads in Europe (with all major roads having moving traffic) including many times the numbers of bridge objects (over 250,000), detailed water, rail tracks, custom coastlines, detailed ground polygons, landclass enhancements, and the incredible night lighting system found in our other UTX products.

The countries included are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK.

UTX Europe is based on the detailed commercially available data provided from the Tele Atlas Multinet data set, plus a large amount of hand digitized work processed at Scenery Solutions.
Roads, Bridges, Rivers, Streams, Waterclass, Landclass and Night Lighting are included in Ultimate Terrain X.


Highways, Roads, Streets

The Microsoft Flight Simulator X roads are a largely improved over FS9 (FS2004). However, Ultimate Terrain X takes the roads one step further, by providing extensive road types instead of just highways and most major roads.

The Ultimate Terrain X road textures are very high resolution, matching the 1 meter landclass textures currently in FSX. The road texture types can be custom configured.

What really make our roads stand out is the attention to detail, using road encasements and custom ground polygons for the interchange areas. This can make a large difference in the urban road appearances.

For every major road and highway that crosses a water feature in Ultimate Terrain X, a 3D extrusion bridge is displayed.

If you like the look of the moving road traffic in FSX, you will love the moving traffic in Ultimate Terrain X. Ultimate Terrain X greatly expands the moving traffic coverage areas in FSX.

We even include dark tunnel entrances for those tunnel roads that disappear underground, Shorelines, Coastlines, Rivers, Streams.

Anyone who is familiar with our Ultimate Terrain product for FS9/FS2004 knows that our products use the absolute premium commercial water data available for each of our product regions. This water data is the most accurate and detailed data available at any cost.

In addition to the standard coastline textures in FSX, Ultimate Terrain X takes coastlines to a whole new level, by including higher resolution rocky coastline textures, sandy beaches, concrete piers, freshwater dams and man-made breakers. The coastline textures blend the edges of the water bodies with the land.

All oceanic coastlines have been processed by hand to give them a more appropriate look.

In the major metropolitan areas, FSX improved the body accuracy and details compared to FS9/FS2004. But outside of the metropolitan areas, there are still major missing water features and/or inaccurately positioned features. Ultimate Terrain X fills in these gaps with water features throughout the entire covered region.

In addition to the quality source data, we have now enhanced our water features by adding more variety to the coastlines. Also, we have provided multiple waterclass options that will change the water colour associated with lakes, rivers and seas.

Ultimate Terrain X also takes advantage of our new "Radial Elevation Theory" algorithm, which allows for channelled rivers that cut through areas of extreme elevation changes. This new algorithm virtually eliminates the sloping water problems that are common with extreme terrain rivers.


Landclass

Ultimate Terrain X dramatically improves the accuracy of cities in FSX using our proprietary "Synthetic Landclass" generation system, which generates urban landclass based on recent commercial data sources.


Waterclass

Waterclass options are a unique feature of Ultimate Terrain X that control the colouring and style of the water features for various locations around the world. Ultimate Terrain enhances the default FSX water by providing four waterclass choices:

• Blue water tint.
• Plankton/Algae bloom tint.
• Muddy water tint.
• Muddy water with Plankton bloom tint.
• 
  Water colours can vary dramatically between seasons.
  Many users have different opinions on how their water environment should look. So, Ultimate Terrain X provides you with multiple options.
  
  
  Railroads
  
  Flight1 have improved the look of railroads using higher resolution textures, rail yard ground textures, rail track encasement textures, and tunnel entrances.
  
  A 3D bridge object is also placed where all rail tracks cross water.
  
  Night Lighting
  
  If you purchased Flight1’s previous Ultimate Terrain products, you know that the night lighting is a unique feature in this hobby.
  
  Ultimate Terrain X night lighting consists of points of light that represent objects like streetlights, traffic signals and vehicle lights.
  
  In Ultimate Terrain X, the night lighting has been created with three things in mind:
  
  
• Provide brighter lights against the very bright FSX background.
• Prevent autogen reduction.
• Eliminate the occasional "floating light’s” from differing mesh products.
• 
  Ground Textures
  
  Ultimate Terrain X includes specialized custom ground textures for specialized areas. These ground textures differ from landclass, because they take on the exact size and shape of the terrain feature in the real world.
  
  In FSX, special ground textures are already used for city parks and golf courses, but in addition to the parks and golf courses, Ultimate Terrain X provides many other ground polygon features that are unique to Ultimate Terrain X:
  
  
• Beaches
• Glaciers
• Cemeteries
• Highway Interchanges
• Tunnel Entrances
• Rail Yards
• Small Islands
• Parking Lots
• Grassy, Forest, or Concrete areas for landmark features.
• 
  Object Repositioning
  
  To ensure that the current custom FSX objects line up with the Ultimate Terrain X scenery, we have repositioned many objects to better align with the Ultimate Terrain X road and water features. This includes objects like buildings, ships, docks, and custom bridges.
  
  Ultimate Terrain Setup Tool
  
  Flight1 know that a large number of Flight Simulator enthusiasts like to tweak their environments to meet their own personal expectations and needs. As a result, Ultimate Terrain X was designed from the ground up, to provide a near total configurable environment.
  
  Advanced users will marvel at the fact that they can have different textures assigned to nearly every Ultimate Terrain feature. For example, you can change the sizes of objects like stream widths, road widths and coastline widths using the new Ultimate Terrain X Setup Tool.
  
  The new setup tool also allows novice users to get up and running quickly and the advanced user to have unprecedented configurability over their Ultimate Terrain environment.
