Ive use this data for maps i have created in the mast for other flight sim "Condor Flight Sim"
Just so you know it blends good with Nasa data aswell so very few holes to fix in 3dem.
not sure if this link below will open for you you might have to register to view but its a comparison of nasa data fixed patches in 3dem with a google earth picture of same area, a photo taken same place and the map made using your link above with no fix in 3dem

Worth the time to register as it will open your eyes to realistic map creations, the example i show in the post is not the finished textures just a throw over "make do" to see the results the end result map K2 karakorum map never got released
but if you use the data link you posted your map terrian will be at the quality not seen in IL-2 , with proper mountains , be warned the finnish area does have issues in data i made a map of the complete ICELAND island and had to edit the hgt map to correct the sea-levels , as the satilite saw the ICE as water on the coast and i think you might see issues on finnish coastal , but if you know how to convert hgt files to trn files then it can be corrected , but hardwork editing.
Best of Luck
Nice to see map makers looking at improving the quality to the top level possible.
