    Well after a boring few hours I generated all the 500ft spaced contour lines. Tedious, but completed now!



    You can see more detail in the attached file below.

    I used some simple relief shading to emphasise the terrain and was encouraged enough to continue onto hypsometric shading alongside the contour lines.



    Next no contour lines .. just hypsometric relief shading ...



    Everything seems to be coming together nicely, however climate definition is next on the agenda and that gets quite complex. I know that FT3 has a very rough guess at climate based upon rainfall and temperature. Sadly it doesn't take into account seasons, wind or currents which means I would need to work those out and use them to affect changes to the temperature and rainfall in FT3.

    I think currents appeal to me next ... more later.

    Comments or Critiques welcome ...

    Quick Addendum ... After noticing how close I came with the nice blended shading from Wilburs hypso colour map file I did, I might switch to that! Until I had posted both I could not see them next to each other.
