FreeMesh X Global !!!

FreeMeshX is a global terrain mesh replacement for the stock terrain mesh and features LOD10 (38-m) coverage for almost the entire world. LOD10 is equal to the same terrain level of detail used for the USA in the stock scenery. The rest of the world varies from LOD6 to LOD9. FreeMeshX was created to bring the rest of the world up to the LOD10 standard as much as possible, although some regions of the world in the higher latitudes are still limited to LOD9 (76-m).

The motivation for this project started from the lack of a comprehensive global terrain mesh replacement that did not involve forking over hard earned cash. FS Global 2010 is a great project, but it costs well over 50 USD and uses mainly older SRTM2 90-m downscaled to 78-m resolution. FSGenesis has a 20 USD global terrain mesh, but like FS Global 2010, it uses mainly older SRTM2 90-m data downscaled to LOD9.

FreeMeshX features LOD10 (38-m resolution) coverage for:

North America (LOD10 Canada is released in this mesh - default USA is already LOD10, so USA is not included for the base release. A LOD11 USA mesh is in the works)
South and Central America
Europe
Asia
Africa
Australia and Oceania

A few regions are limited to LOD9 (78-m resolution):

Antarctica
Greenland
Russian territories north of 60 N latitude


For FSX, FSX:SE, and P3D

Totally free and provides almost everything the payware products costing around €70 do, like FsGlobal and FsGenesis, for free!

Δεν δημιουργεί προβλήματα με τα elevations των αεροδρομίων; Κάπου διάβασα ότι επειδή αλλάζει το υψόμετρο του scenery, κάποια αεροδρόμια, μπορεί να βρεθούν σε αφύσικα υπερυψωμένο επίπεδο σε σχέση με το περιβάλλον τους ή το αντίθετο.

Νίκο μέχρι στιγμής δεν έχω παρατηρήσει πρόβλημα στο elevation αεροδρομίων. Γενικώς όλα τα mesh addons επηρεάζουν τις υψομετρικές διαφορές, αυτός είναι ο σκοπός τους.
