May 20, 200719 yr It was amazing, especially after flying around the whole island earlier this evening with the standard mesh and thinking how good it was, then doing it again with the detailed mesh. The difference is like night and day.
May 20, 200719 yr The Canarysim one. I copied over the files you told me to plus the extra gcxodemlod8.BGL one.
May 20, 200719 yr Hi Bramsky (and everyone). I'm from Gran Canaria and I've been flying with Canarysim for more than a year. Is one of the best sceneries out there. But in combination with Tileproxy, as for your pics, I can assure you that it is absolutely fantastic, awesome, spectacular (well, I have no words). Because of my job I fly a lot to all of the islands and watching your pics is like being inside the atr-72 looking through the window in one those flights. Now, If only this golden piece of software could be used in FS9. If not, I'll buy FSX sooner than I thought.Fantastic.Regards, Fran.
May 20, 200719 yr After more careful consideration, I found these files from the CanarySimpackage to contain all the digital elevation data at various levels of detail. I used the TMFViewer application from the FS 2004 SDK to open and inspect them.Distribution outside of CanarySim is actually forbidden by the authors,therefore you have to live with that 200 MB download ;)GCGM.bglGCHI.bglgcladem2.BGLGCLAdem_9.bglGCLAdem_10.bglgclpdem_9.bglgclpdem_10.bglgclpdem_11.bglgcxodem9.BGLgcxodem10.BGLgcxodemlod8.BGLgcxodemlod11.BGLThe naming doesn't seem quite consistent, so for example the gcladem2.BGL actually contains a LOD 11 mesh. Some filenamescontain "lod" in the name, others don't...
May 20, 200719 yr Thanks for the heads up on the extra Gran Canaria files Christain, I don't know how it can get any better but I'll install them anyway :DHey Fran you live in a beautiful part of the world, I'd love to visit there but with tileproxy and the Canarysim mesh I suppose I've got the next best thing :) I hope you get up and running with FSX and TP soon. I found an absolutely superb Hawaii 10m freeware mesh, check this out. Loads more shots here -http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w140/br.../Oahu%20Hawaii/Get the Freeware mesh here as well as a host of others here. http://www.simviation.com/fsx_terrainmesh.htmI'm off to try out the balearics 19m mesh next, I love Sundays :DJust noticed I might be breaking the image rules as they're a over 150k, I'll just post links to my photobucket albums from now on so I don't clog up the thread.
May 20, 200719 yr A greate resource for free meshes that you found there. I think the USA and Hawaii meshes are the same that were previously available on www.fsproject.com. But that site has gone the way of the Dodo.Christian
May 20, 200719 yr Here is the east coast of the island of Oahu with a 10m mesh.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/172026.jpg
May 22, 200719 yr There isn't a tileproxy shot yet I haven't liked!Thanks for yours-great!http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
May 22, 200719 yr Here are some shots at Interlaken Switzerland using GE and Tileproxy. Looks great all the way down to ground level even without any autogen. 25 fps pretty well all the way down at 3840 x 1024 res with a nice smooth landing. The FSX default mesh was used here. Fabulous!
May 22, 200719 yr A Few screenshots of my trip along the Californian coast. Oxnard areaHeading for Santa BarbaraFinals for Santa Maria using VESomewhere over Morro Bay
May 22, 200719 yr I'll buy ActiveSky X when it comes out. Your sky looks so much better than the default...
