    Default My biggest beef with FSX

    I'm a big fan of FSX, but what I really don't like is the poor coastal renderings like this example from near the north end of Vancouver Island.
    Is there a fix or a third-party product that can redraw the coastline? We had a great package for this area for FS9.

    Ultimate TerrainX is the way to go , assuming that you can manage the complex and and potentially very very long download -almost a gig-(the DVD is not released yet), but it has fixed most of these anomalies in coastlines. And a lot more.

    I have UT-X and its great. But it is only for the continental USA/Hawaii and therefore does nothing for Vancouver Island which is in Canada. Hopefully there will be an Ultimate Terrain X for Canada as there was an Ultimate Terrain Canada for for FS9.

    I've never bothered with UT in FS9, but I'd consider if for FSX for sure if it can make the B.C. coast more realistic.
    Thanks for the answers.

    I have not seen a date, but the Ultimate Terrain website states that there will be a UT-X Canada and also an UT-X Europe followed by UT-X Alaska.

    Well someone must have seen my post! It looks like my solution is here.

    And the Cdn. dollar is worth more than the U.S. dollar today :-)

    Ahhh. That's better. The same area with utxcan.
    I can't even figure out which area was my old blocky island, so this will have to do. It's in Charlotte Strait near Port McNeil on Vancouver Island.
