ABOUT SRTM DATA

This scenery is based on data collected during the Nasa Shuttle Radar Topography
Mission (SRTM).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KNOWN PROBLEMS

Waterbodies and coastline - this is pretty much apparent: the SRTM scenery
combines with Microsoft's less precise default coastlines and waterbodies.
They are defined by "LWM-Polygons" which force the terrain to a certain
elevation. Especially lakes are often set to a false elevation, and combined
with a false coastline this can create strange views.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISCLAIMER

This scenery is FREEWARE.

SRTM data are available for free via ftp://edcsgs9.cr.usgs.gov/. However,
creating these scenery files required some work and knowledge, and aditional
DEM data. So don't include this scenery into any kind of product you charge
money for without my written permission. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

These files really should not harm your computer. However, you are using them
on your own risk, I don't accept any liability for any possible damage or data
loss you might experience while using them.
