| 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 5 - Garhwal |
|
File Description:
Highly detailed terrain mesh of the Garhwal area, N30°-32° E78°-81°. 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.

File Description:
Yet another terrain mesh package of the European Alps? Well, this one is different in that it is NOT primarily based on the Shuttle Radar (SRTM) data with their incomplete coverage of prominent peaks and ridges. Instead, most of the source data for this project were developed over many months by Jonathan de Ferranti using detailed topographic maps. 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 SRTM- or DTED-based mesh file, freeware or commercial (a link to an extensive set of screenshot comparisons is included in the read-me file).
I've compiled the source data at LOD10 (38-m) grid resolution because the coverage area is smaller than most existing mesh files. Thus, anyone can use these files without having to first uninstall their current mesh set. Also included are LOD9 and LO8 buffer mesh files. Note: if you own Switzerland Professional with its high-resolution terrain mesh then you don't need this package, at least not the Switzerland files!
