I agree that it probably isn't very important for England. But, some countries do have very complicated terrains (eg. extensive marshlands, or major changes in elevation) which can have very different types of plants at different elevations etc.

It may not matter now - but it could become extremely useful for modelling some parts of the world.

I think the cliffs of dover a good example of change in elevation, we also saw a low- res photo from an online map with mountains, the tops didn't have any trees and the lower parts did. So if I have understood you well enough everything can be modelled.
And sow is not a basic simulation, it's a highly detailed flight simulation.

Fantastic update, it looks absolutely great! The amount of houses and details really amazes me.
