Does anyone have any experience/opinions on this? The area around my house in Nova Scotia is pretty inaccurate as far as the lakes and location of towns and I'm hoping this will "fix" it. I have FS Genesis mesh installed and their USA Landclass Project. Is this comparable?

My experience with Scenery Tech landclass is mixed. I have their landclass products for North America, South America, Europe, and Africa.

 

I'm not at all impressed with the North America landclass, especially the eastern part. In fact, I've found that the default landclass is generally more accurate for the eastern U.S than Scenery Tech. Scenery Tech tends to reduce the amount of forest/woodland areas and makes the eastern U.S. look like nothing but a bunch of farms. In many cases it also replaces what should be forest areas with tree-lined field textures, which looks awful. I'm not as familiar with Eastern Canada's terrain, but I think it's likely that Scenery Tech won't really make it much better.

 

If you want accurate urban and suburban landclass, as well as accurate roads, lakes, rivers, and other terrain features, then you should look at Ultimate Terrain X Canada. I'm not sure if this product contains vegetative/rural landclass, but with this product installed I'm actually satisfied with just using the default landclass for the U.S. and Canada.

 

I did e-mail Scenery Tech a couple of years ago and informed them of the inaccurate texture selection for many areas of the eastern U.S. The developer replied that he'd look into it, but another update was never released.

I'm not familiar with landclass for Eastern Canada, but for the Eastern U.S., I prefer Cloud9 to Scenery Tech. I've read that people in the Southwestern U.S. like Scenery Tech, but in general the votes in North America seem to go to Cloud 9.

If you are finding the lakes in Nova Scotia inaccurate, a landclass product will not fix that. You will need Ultimate Terrain X - Canada to give you an accurate representation of lakes, rivers, shorelines and roads, as well as providing a more accurate city landclass.

We need an updated landclass product with current data. FSG data is from 2007/2008 I believe and scenery tech is from 2008. Been waiting a long time for some company to update the fsx landclass.

I'm in the process of doing a review of landclass products for Europe. Might give you an idea what these products do and their quality (see link to my blog in my signature).

 

As for lakes, shorelines, roads and rivers you will need Ultimate Terrain X Canada - it includes landclass as well.

IMHO, Cloud 9 X-class is a better program--more pleasing to my eye, your opinion may differ, but keep in mind, any landclass program is only a generic "artists concept" as to what an area looks like. Works well when used along with GEX, UTX, and a good mesh product, but again, this is generic, not accurate, scenery.
