Canada Mesh?

A good question. Who has mesh for Canada's Territory's above the 60th? Also were in my scnery lib should UT Canada be located?
 
I don't believe anyone has tackled Canada mesh above the 60th. Everything north of 60 deg latitude was outside the catchment area for the shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM).
Jonathan de Ferranti tackled the data once we had a shuttle mission that compiled and released the data. Jonathan de Ferranti's then worked on filling SRTM voids and missing areas in the SRTM dataset.

A couple of guys tackled Iceland. The terrain mesh covers the whole of Iceland in 76m detail. It has been compiled in FSDEM from Jonathan de Ferranti's released source data, and is distributed as freeware with his permission.

FSGenesis North America shows 76m coverage for the Canadian north and Alaska.

The bundle is now $49.95. I got it before the N. Atlantic set was added but I'm pretty happy with the results.

One note: they say the website is being upgraded so it may take a bit of hunting to find the right pages.
