Or, you could go to

http://portal.fsgenesis.net/modules....download&sid=1

(watch any word-wrap)

and download the new free British Isles 76.4m Terrain that doesn't have any
holes.

I downloaded this and can vouch for its accuracy - I live on the Scottish
mainland, on the north Caithness county coast, with a view of Orkney from
Thurso beach.

The default FS2002 scenery renders Orkney as being almost flat, and the
cliffs at Dunnet Head (the UK's most northerly point) are completely flat
whereas they are some of the most spectacular in the country.

With the scenery file mentioned above, I can pick out individual features
in the Scottish coastline that I know from actually having seen them.

The only thing apparently missing from the scenery (at Orkney) is the Old
Man of Hoy - a tall column of stone standing on the beach on Hoy's west
coast. It's a popular climbers' attraction. It can be seen from Thurso
beach, about 20 miles away. It's not there at all, even landed a helo on
the spot where it's supposed to be )

44 MB for UK alone; big file for a dial-up (56k) user like me, but well
worth it.

Cheers
