Abstract
In this paper we investigate the use of terrains with various level of detail and its impact on the simulation results on the macro level. We argue to which extent this problem has to be taken into account and what is the appropriate level of terrain accurate representation in order to achieve results that are valid and can be used as a simulation projection for a given real life scenario.
