Lillooet-Thompson Region, Southwestern B.C., Canada Mesh

File Description:
New high-resolution (76-m) terrain mesh of 30,000 square km of southwestern British Columbia, covering a 4-degree longitude by 1-degree latitude transect from the mainland coast to Kamloops (N50-51, W120-124). This is probably one of the more spectacular regions of B.C. to represent in such vivid detail. Visit the Fraser and Stein River canyons, Princess Louisa Inlet, and the glacial lakes in the Pemberton area. Made from 50-m digital elevation data, resampled to LOD9 (76-m) horizontal spacing. Designed as an add-on to my LOD7 mesh of the entire province but can be used independently. By Holger Sandmann.

Lower Mainland of Southern British Columbia, Canada Mesh

File Description:
New high-resolution (76-m) terrain mesh of the Lower Mainland area of British Columbia, covering a 4-degree longitude by 1.5-degree latitude transect (N48.5-50, W120-124) from Bowen Island to Manning Park. It gives a much better representation of the subtle terrain in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, the beautiful North Shore Mountains, and the extreme topography of the North Cascades southeast of Chilliwack. Made from 100-m digital elevation data, resampled to LOD9 (76-m) horizontal spacing. Designed as an add-on to my LOD7 mesh of the entire province but can be used independently. By Holger Sandmann.

Patches for LOD7/LOD9 Terrain Meshes of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska

File Description:
Patches (flatten files) for 108 lakes in British Columbia and Southeast Alaska that were either sunken below or raised above the terrain surface due to discrepancies between my add-on LOD7 and LOD9 mesh files and FS2002's default scenery. In some areas, such as the Prince George/Burns Lake region, the effect of the patches is obvious even from a great distance; in other areas, you'll have to be close to the lake to notice the difference. Also included are flatten files for nine airfields that had problems with sloping terrain or texture "bleed-through".

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.

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.
