SKBOv1.1.x revised terrain elevation files

The following files correct some problems associated with the terrain elevation files included in the original release version of the scenery.

Note: The terrain elevation files for this scenery were compiled using the most recent SRTM data available to the public form the USGS that is compatible with the simulator's SDK tools. The raw data contains numerous gaps, which are filled by interpolating elevation data for the terrain in the immediate vicinity of each gap. This procedure renders the gaps undetectable.
Note: The FSX default elevation for the terrain surrounding SKBO is grossly inaccurate. Consequently, the field appears to be located on a plateau several hundred feet higher than the surrounding city. The file included in our scenery is based on accurate elevation data obtained from the USGS and corrects the gross elevation mismatch near the airport. Our scenery depicts the field at the correct real-life elevation and level with the surrounding city. Unfortunately, the terrain elevation mismatch remains, appearing as a pronounced step at the boundary of the customized area. The boundary, however, is far enough away from the field that it does not affect in a significant manner the approach or departure experience.

KMSP field elevation and terrain file for FS2004

KMSPFlatten.bgl

Installation:

Please copy this file to your ...\BluePrint Simulations\KMSP\Scenery folder. Restart the simulator.

Note: The use of this file with the default FS2004 elevation mesh will wipe out most terrain elevation features at the south end of the airport and will generate unreal steps with straight edges.  FS2004 only allows for rectangular flat areas to be created and the terrain around KMSP has significant elevation changes toward the south.  The use of this file with third party elevation meshes for the KMSP area has not been tested and successful results cannot be guaranteed.
