FreeMeshX Global Support Forum

Interested in a free global terrain mesh replacement for the stock terrain mesh with coverage for almost the entire world? Then this forum is for you!

  1. INTRODUCTION: 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). Compiling the source data into LOD11 yields neglibible improvements and is mostly a waste of precious hard drive space. FreeMeshX features LOD10 (38-m resolution) coverage for: Nort…

  2. Due to the high demand of FreeMeshX 2.0, my bandwidth usage on MediaFire has far exceeded its limits. Therefore, the automatic downloads through the downloader were temporarily suspended by MediaFire. To put things in perspective, I have used about 8.5 PB of bandwidth from MediaFire that past two years. I have paid for more bandwidth, but I ask that only the automatic download scripts be used if Bittorrent is absolutely NOT an option! Thanks!

  5. Hello folks, The open beta for FreeMeshX USA has begun. This is a 50 GB LOD12 (9.5 m pixel size) terrain mesh that enhances the topography of the continental 48 United States. Note, Hawaii and Alaska are unfinished. The source data used is from the US Geological Survey's National Elevation Database and is the highest quality data we've worked with. The USA mesh is unfinished. We have not optimized the level of detail for the plethora of terrains found in the CONUS. For example, the Great Plains are also rendered at LOD12, which is a bit of a waste of data, so we will likely cut down the LOD to LOD11 in the future and increase the compression for the flatter area…

  6. Hello folks, It's been over a year since we released FreeMeshX Global 1.0. Since then the reception has been astonishingly welcome and I thank you all for that. We have more updates in store for FreeMeshX Global, but this post will mainly concern FreeMeshX - USA expansion. Yes, work on FreeMeshX - USA is indeed still going. We're seeing nice improvements to the terrain! Take this LOD10 terrain below: And compare it to the subtle differences in LOD12: Notice the small undulations that were not previously resolved? We love that extra kind of detail. LOD12 does wonders for mountains and hills (along with some nice FTX Global textures). …

    I'm a little embarrassed at the length of time it has taken to finish this simple little map, but I'm pleased to finally present a basic FreeMeshX coverage map, which I started back in February. I'm sure it won't be too hard to make a better one, but it'll do for now I'd like to send a huge thanks to Daniel & David for the incredible piece of work that is FreeMeshX is. You've made an amazing contribution to the community. I raise my cup to you! Although most of the FMX regions are self-explanatory, some of the remote islands and boundaries between continents could fall into one or more regions, so hopefully this map can help some people choose which regions …

  8. Привет, Дэйв и команда, я в настоящее время тестирую Pilot2ATC v3 с пробной версией и столкнулся с проблемой: поскольку v3 не поддерживает обновления AIRAC через Navigraph, процедуры (SID/STAR) не соответствуют моему симулятору или SimBrief. К сожалению, у меня нет доступа к версии 2, поэтому я не могу использовать обходной путь для импорта обновленного AIRAC из версии 2 в версию 3. Я пробовал разные варианты, но пока безуспешно. Мой пробный период подходит к концу, и я очень хотел бы как следует протестировать весь функционал перед покупкой. Буду очень признателен за любой совет или возможное продление! Заранее спасибо.

    Hi! There is a strange white stripe (line) along almost all Adriatic coast in P3D v4.5. (On screenshot there is Dubrovnik RWY11 approach) BUT there is NO that stripe in a P3D v5! How to fix it? Thank you.

  12. Greetings! Is it just me or is anyone else having issues adding the Patches folder to the Scenery Library in FSX:SE? I was able to add all other folders with the entire 2.0 folder in the root of my C:\ drive. The Patches folder struggled even though I double checked the file names and Scenery.CFG entries. However the Patches folders works if I put it in the Addon Scenery folder. So for the time being I have my entire 2.0 installation in the Addon Scenery. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I'd like to keep that folder outside my FSX folder but for now don't mind.

    KFXE Fulton County Airport, just west of Atlanta, GA It looks like the entire airport elevation might be off by about 150 feet or so? The entire airport seems to be sitting up on a plateau. Still....absolutely love this scenery. Can't imagine all the work that went into this. Thank you so much FMX team. I will be making a donation.

    I'm new to Freemeshx. I downloaded the FMX-USA files. Installed it the way I install all my addon scenery. I'm not impressed at all. Either I did something wrong or ??? I checked the properties so the Scenery File, there are only 55 files in it. Is this correct? Please help before I uninstall this.
