Hi guys,Are there any good freeware landclass, texture and mesh files for the north eastern parts of North America. Preferably Ontario, New York, whole of New England, the maritimes and the areas surounding them?Thanks in advance,

Yes, but no point listing them all here. Search in the library.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

Howdy,well, just a bit more help perhaps...For Canadian mesh of the area search for Gilles Gauthier and make sure to install all the updates as well. He's the only one who has made adjustments to the "raw mesh" file that reduce the typical problems with incorrect lake elevations and shoreline positions.For the US Northeast I'd suggest a search for Justin Tyme (FS Genesis), as he has uploaded high-quality freeware mesh files for several parts such as the White Mountains. More free files (including a free beta landclass file for the US) are available at his website.All those FS2002 mesh files are compatible with FS9. Cheers, Holger

Heh heh, you're right, Holger ... my reply to Mats does seem a bit short! That said, the library does come up with good stuff if you just search about a bit.Mats, I second getting Justin's stuff although there are other options too, by Rob Gainer for one. I use Justin's mesh and landclass personally, which is indeed very good. Look for the Flight Ontario team's work, as well. On the payware front, there is a detailed development of the Boston area by Ray Taburet, Megascenery for New York and Aerosoft's New York City enhancement. Lots of add-ons for Maine and Vermont airports, too. Leon Louis has done a lot of stuff for Maritimes and Quebec region, I think.Good luck. And you could always ignore the North East and just go and fly in British Columbia with Holger's work; having tried that, you may not want to fly anywhere else!Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

I fly in new england all the time, and there's a lot of small bits that make up a fairly nice whole. Mesh is the one patchwork that is difficult. I own FSGenesis' 38m mesh, I find it to be the best. Similarly, FSG's landclass is second to none (although we don't have that many golf courses up here, Justin!).Not what you're asking for, but...you would be remiss if you didn't check out flight ontario's sceneries - particularly their latest toronto scenery. Here in the library, or a quick search on google will get you the home page. Also, Brian Gladden has release several airports in vermont in the cryptically named "Vermont Airports" package ;).Hope that helps!sg

Thanks for your answers guys!Will try out your suggestions. Doing searches using the geographical names in the library still leaves you with a lot of options so I wanted to hear with you if there was something to specially look out for. And now I got some good names to start with. (Good save Mark ;-))Again thanks,

Thank you sg (or Scott if we'd been in the PMDG forum)I'll look for the packages you've suggested! The strangly named airport package by Brian Gladden seems interesting! ;-)Thanks again,

There is this jerk named Joe Warson that did a bunch of landclass cities for the east coast. He and Bob Brown also did a Landclass of the State of Florida. If you opt for the state of Florida .... don't get the florida cities... Also... It'll work even though it says that it's for FS2002. Just place all the Landclass file in the FS9sceneryBASEscenery folder or Make a folder named Landclass with no texture folder, only a scenery folder. You will have to install this in FS9. The FS9scenerybase|scenery you will not have to install.Charleston,SC is one that needs a change.Joe W.

Thanks a bunch Joe,Will check them out!Cheers,

Joe<<<.... don't get the florida cities... >>>Are you implying that the add-on cities for, say, St. Pete and St. Augustine don't work with your LC? Or do they just not work?I'm avoiding mentioning names in case I'm misunderstanding you.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg
