Interesting project - but currently I'm more interested in absolute 
altimetry data, such as provided by the ASTER and TANDEM missions! As at 
least the original ASTER data have too low resolution to produce 
realistic landscapes at close range from a "pedestrian" perspective, I 
started using the topographic map tiles of OpenTopoMap 
(http://www.opentopomap.org) - which themselves are just an 
interpolation of ASTER data, but at least they also contain rivers, 
roads and buildings as well as (rudimentary, but slowly improving) 
information on soil cover derived from Google Maps aerial imagery.
With TANDEM, the resolution probably could improve, but currently the 
data set is not (at least according to my knowledge) fully accessible by 
the public.

However, of course I will have to develop my own contour line 
interpolation software...

See you in Khyberspace!
