Ultimate Terrain

I've been considering purchasing ultimate terrain, mostly due to my constant
quest for terrain that makes Pensacola Beach look like a beach... FreeFlow
Florida does the best so far, but in reading some of the forum posts here
and there, it appears that most of the "beachy" aspects of everything are
lost when Ultimate Terrain is installed. Would someone mind terribly
posting a screenshot of the barrier islands off Pensacola FL in Ultimate
Terrain. (Fly south from Pensacola Regional... you'll fly over Pensacola
Bay, then the Gulf Breeze peninsula then the Pensacola Sound (Intracoastal
Waterway) then Pensacola Beach.)

If someone has integrated both FFFL and UT and wouldn't mind giving me a
screenshot, I'd appreciate that also.

Thanks in advance,

Jay

Can we view some FF evaluation images?


LONG ISLAND Shores

The first two were from FFNE (New England).. first is Winter season..
Long Island shores in FS8. Next are LI Spring shorelines with pline
(polyline?)

http://home.comcast.net/~flightsim/LI_shores.jpg (285k)

http://home.comcast.net/~flightsim/LI_shore_pline.jpg (182k)

the last view indicated the `hook' at the shore segment end.. seem
to recall a hook or termination is required. In the early release
there appears to be a reversed shore. Minor details yes? :)


FLORIDA

Then when FFFL (Florida) came out.. the BLGs were opened and saved
as graphic files. See where the arrow points to Pensacola? Have not
installed FFFL components in FS8 as yet.. it may be a fun exercise! :)
