Thus, it would make sense that SBuilder use 19.2m/px for defining the elevation of the photo textures, and come up with a way to upsample SRTM. There are two ways to define the altitude of the photo scenery: Force it to be flat using an LWM polygon, or import mesh data in the form of a calibrated map.

Hi, This is a Reddit exclusive preview of FreeMeshX (working title), an upcoming terrain mesh project I've been putting together for some time. The terrain mesh will cover much of the Earth, improving accuracy and resolution from the default terrain in the majority of regions. The terrain mesh is derived from the latest 1-arcsecond (~30 m) SRTM data from NASA that is nearly entirely pit and spike free. This is identical to the majority of the raw data used in existing payware products such as FS Global 2010, except FreeMeshX will supersede the detail in many areas because of the new high-res SRTM data made available the last few months. Here are some quick and dirty screenshots I took this morning that compares the FSX default terrain to FreeMeshX. Pictures were sampled from mainly South America (which vastly improves from this product), although I do have a nice shot of Suilven, Scotland.

• LOD 10 terrain mesh (38 m) for the Earth between latitudes 60 S and 60 N • Completely freeware. This community was built upon the backs of freeware developers, many of whom have freely released payware quality projects. • SRTM data only for the first release. Subsequent releases may mix in other higher-resolution data sources for certain regions (such as NED/CDED for North America), or very high-res sources for popular local regions e.g. Mountain peaks. If ASTERv3 is remarkably less noisy than ASTERv2, then I could use that data for higher latitudes. • Distribution will likely be through BitTorrent as the total size of the project will be quite large -- on the scale of a complete game on Steam.

I will also explore hosting it also on MediaFire or some provider. Ergosoft Poster Print 12 Full Version Tested Definition. FS Global uses a variety of sources. For instance, much of the world in FS Global is using the older 3-arcsecond (~90 m) SRTM data, but local meshes, e.g. The Alps, use high-res local meshes (~10-19 m) to really make some terrain (some famous mountains) standout. FreeMeshX will not have these localized regions because much of that data is proprietary and very expensive, although there exists some free data that can be used for future installments. For the base 1.0 release, we are going to release just SRTM-derived data that is triple the resolution of the SRTM data used in FS Global. So it is a bit of an upgrade overall.

Mesh is compatible with other meshes. FSX will render the highest-resolution available, so if you use FreeMeshX with FS Global, the highest resolution local regions of FS Global will still be rendered on top of FreeMeshX. Good question. This is an issue inherent to any addon mesh, and one I've given much thought.

Microsoft purposefully changed the elevation of airports from their true values to fit their default mesh,, and so some airports experience these plateaus when using an alternate, more accurate mesh. One would need to provide BGL files for each airport to correct their elevations (as FTX Vector does), or use an airport mesh flattening program (similar to what PILOT'S offers). We haven't looked at fixing the issue in our release, because that's a heck of a lot of extra work when there are already solutions out there, albeit proprietary. So unfortunately, we can't offer a free solution until we've figured one out.

File 2 of 2 (also requires glbayv2a.zip) Landscape enhancements include high-resolution terrain mesh, detailed shorelines, rivers, lakes, and glaciers, and accurate land cover data with custom seasonal ground textures. Inland water bodies can be made to 'freeze over' via an on/off switch. Other landmarks include the settlements of Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Yakutat, Atlin, and Carcross as well as road and railroad networks, cabins, lodges, and lighthouses. We modeled or enhanced 16 main airfields (plus one fictitious airstrip), 20 unlisted airstrips, 16 seaplane bases, and seven heliports. We've also included AI ship traffic in various locations as well as optional flightplans for GA and floatplane AI traffic.

Glacier Bay v2 is fully compatible with other third-party add-ons, including terrain mesh (FSGlobal, FS Genesis, etc.), ground textures (Ground Environment, BEV, FScene, etc.), and landscape enhancements (Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska, Misty Fjords, Tongass Fjords, Freight Dogs). A configurator panel (requires.Net Framework!) allows users to set compatibility options and to choose levels of scenery detail. We provide an autoinstaller and detailed documentation with a sectional map of the coverage area and a list of weblinks to real-world information. For feedback and questions, please visit the Glacier Bay v2 support forum at This project is a collaboration of nine FS developers from Germany, Austria, USA, and Canada, logging more than 1000 hours of work over the past 14 months.
