. . .for all of New England, but mostly the Tri-state area. I'm really interested in high-res mesh for CT and NJ. Anyone know where I can find this? I'd prefer freeware over payware, but any leads will be useful. Thanks!(8-| drew (8-|

I only use mesh for certain areas myself, so don't have many files. But a good place to look is FSGenesis. I believe that's Justin Tyme's site.You can also find some mesh files here in the Avsim Library, at Simviation and probably at flightsim.com (if you can get in there.)Good luck-Lindy :-wave

Hi Drew, As Lindy suggested, FSGenesis is an excellent product. I just ordered and received the entire US mesh on 5 CDs. I havent had time to explore all of the areas yet, but so far it has been a great improvement over the freeware mesh that I had previously installed. They have super fast shipping and reasonable prices.Craig

Hello Drew,I also offer 30m mesh for the entire mainland US. You may want to check out my site as well.Stevewww.fs-traveler.com

I'd prefer freeware over paywareLOL, "I wan't HIGH RES" but I don't want to pay for it...LOL!Spend some money buddy and get FSGenises!

I agree, FSGenesis is great.Tony

I third that... I use and fly *OFTEN* in the New England area. It is a vast improvement...In CT - the hanging hills around Mereden and Middletown are well represented. East and West Rock in New Haven are there. Haven't spent much time in the northwest hills, but the ridgelines around Bradley Int'l are there as well. In VT/NH - mountains have MUCH more detail now. I can pick out individual mountains based on profile rather than looking on a map and saying "oh that's Mt. Mansfield".In NJ - I haven't flown there much, BUT I have friends in the Mt. Olive/Flanders area and that region is also very well rendered. Many hills over there.All in all, FSGenesis products are fantastic, and to me are worth paying for. Performace is good and I can vouch for the accuracy in the New England area. Be sure to check the level of detail on the free meshes... FSGenesis uses 30m SOURCE data to create 38.2m FLIGHTSIM data. Other companies may use 30m source data as well, but create a FLIGHTSIM set with a *lower* resolution. This difference is called the "Level of Detail", or LOD. The higher the LOD, the more detailed the terrain may look, although it depends on the source data. LOD10 works out to 38 meters. LOD9 is 76 meters. LOD8 is 150ish meters...Check out [link:www.fs-traveler.com/fs-traveler.html?main=http://www.fs-traveler.com/meshcomp.html]this page for some helpful advice and information regarding mesh!

Ironic that I should see this post as soon as i come into the forum because I was just looking at this over at flightsim.comFS2002 Landclass Update For New EnglandName: ne_lc_10.zip Size: 1,324,935 Date: 11-01-2002 FS2002 Landclass Update For New England.

Sampled from USGS data. By Mike Ouellette.Haven't downloaded it so can't say anything more about it. But it's free. Here are some other's input on it though:http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID8/12819.htmlGood luck!Heather

Wow. . .thanks for all the posts! :7 I actually talked to Justin from FSGenesis. He sent me a sample pic of 12N in NJ and of my old home 'port of KDXR in CT. I think I'm going to probably buy that mesh soon! -drew
