I agree, the idea of patching the old SH terrain with higher resolution detail mask only where it was actually needed, was a great idea, and so far we have done an outstanding job. We only miss a little puzzle piece before we can start showing our subsim buddies the fruits of our struggles.

Well, not totally useless. I think it is a great tool for smoothing out things, adding some embellishments and making the last touch-ups, but you can't rely on it for exploiting the full potential of the game.

That I can tell for sure: near all the stock ports and wherever there are detail masks added, there are slight mismatches between a tile and the next one. This is something that could never happen if devs had used only the Terrain Editor

Much like my job? I can not do just any thing I want. I have to follow rules and budgets also.

Neither do I. If there is someone to be complained, that is Ubisoft.
