Flatten help requested, and copyright opinions please.

I've been trying to flatten the terrain in FSX, so the lumps don't poke through my flat scenery. There's a tutorial on adding a line to scenery.cfg for FS2000, but it doesn't seem to work in FSX.
OK, I could build the terrain into my model, by sticking lumps onto the base polygon, but identifying elevations all over FSX doesn't look practical.
Any tips appreciated.
I've read in the earlier posts about scenery that some of you used FSearthtiles. Found a freeware V1.0; is this what is current?
The author also warns that use of Google's satellite images amounts to copyright breach if you even store them on your own system. Is there really need to worry, especially if it's intended to offer the scenery free to others?
