Bella Coola Valley Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements

File Description:
One of the most spectacular watersheds of British Columbia's Midcoast, the Bella Coola Valley looks pretty boring in its default FS rendition. These files provide a LOD10 (38-m) mesh made from CDED1 0.75-arcsec data, a new landclass file, and accurate placements of lakes, rivers, streams, and roads. Also includes the glaciers of the Monarch Mt. Icefield and several forestry roads and clearcuts along the side valleys. Made with Ground2K4 based on Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery.

High-resolution 76-m (LOD9) Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements for the Southern Canadian Rockies

File Description:
Not simply an add-on mesh, these files include many scenery enhancements for the southern Rockies of British Columbia and Alberta. Coverage extends from Cranbrook to Calgary, and Hinton to Edmonton (N48.9-53.4 W112.3-116.3). The mesh source data are 3-arcsec (~90-m) Shuttle Radar (SRTM) files, compiled at LOD9 (76-m) resolution. All lake elevations (!) have been adjusted to eliminate the problems with the default lake data and to better fit the new terrain mesh. In addition, the Transcanada Highway/Icefields Parkway corridor in Banff National Park, from Canmore to the Hwy 11 junction, has been completely re-made, with dozens of alpine lakes (including Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Lake O'Hara), accurate transportation network, and landclass/waterclass updates based on satellite imagery. Due to significant changes in FS2004 to vector layering and autogen features, the special scenery enhancements cannot be used with FS2002. However, terrain mesh, lake corrections and landclass replacements will work well in FS2002.

Terrain Mesh of Glacier National Park

File Description:
New and updated scenery enhancements for the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia and parts of the Alberta Rocky Mountains. They require an existing installation of my files bcmesh9d.zip and/or bcmesh9e.zip. Scenery coverage follows the Trans-Canada Highway from Banff National Park to west of Revelstoke (~350km), with accurate transportation network, rivers and lakes, hydro dams, ski hills, glaciers, and landclass/waterclass updates based on satellite imagery. Also, similar enhancements to the parks and towns of the southern Kootenay, Selkirk, and Monashee mountains. The mesh source data are 0.75-arcsec (~23-m) CDED files, compiled at LOD10 (38-m) resolution. Due to significant changes in FS2004 to vector layering and autogen features, the special scenery enhancements cannot be used with FS2002. However, terrain mesh, new lakes and land/waterclass replacements will work well in FS2002.

Scenery Enhancements for the Innsbruck (LOWI), Austria

File Description:
New roads, railroads, streams, river, landclass, and waterclass for the Innsbruck area, Austrian Alps. Based on 30-m and 10-m satellite imagery. Not a finished product but rather a "Sunday afternoon" project :-) to illustrate the visual improvements that can be achieved with a few hours of time commitment and the help of the wonderful Ground2K4 by Christian Fumey. The scenery looks best with one of the SRTM-based add-on meshes. I have included my Ground2K4 source code so that interested users can improve on and expand the project area (requires a separate download of my pre-processed satellite imagery).

Alps LOD10 Topo Mesh - Update 1

File Description:
Patch files to remove tall spike in terrain near Salzburg at N47 44´ E13 00´ and to add the missing/distorted peaks of La Grande Moucherolle at N45 00´ E5 34´ and Mont Aiguille at N44 50' E5 33'.

Requires the full version of our Alps LOD10 mesh files, alpse_fe.zip and alpsw_fe.zip. Source data by Jonathan de Ferranti, compiled for FS by Holger Sandmann. Fully compatible with FS2002. A big thank-you to those who reported the "Salzbug" and the missing peaks in the French Alps.

"Himalayan Peaks" LOD10 Mesh, Volume 4 - Annapurna

Images related to this file:

File Description: Highly detailed terrain mesh of the Annapurna area, N28-30 E83-85. The files in this package are based on Shuttle Radar (SRTM) Version 2 data but with many of the void areas, especially the most significant sections, filled with elevation data generated from topographic maps by Jonathan de Ferranti. While Jonathan's work is unrelated to flight simulation he kindly gave me permission to compile his data for use in FS. The result is a wonderful improvement in detail and accuracy over any existing mesh file, freeware or commercial, based on SRTM or DTED data alone. Due to the large area of the Himalayas I've compiled the source data as two separate series: the "Himalayan Peaks" series covers prominent mountains and ranges in higher detail and locally overrides any existing LOD9 terrain mesh. In addition, a LOD9 "base mesh" series covering the entire Himalayas will be available for those who do not yet have an add-on terrain mesh of these beautiful mountains.
