Does anyone know if the terrain mesh advertised today on the AVSIM home page correct coastlines and in-land waterways? It's expensive and hard to justify based just on the screenshots but it might be worth considering if it corrects those two areas.

Hi there. I went to the website and checked out the screenshots they have http://www.gamershell.com/pc/fs_global_200...shots.html?id=2It didn't seem that good really. 16x better than FS9 default? It's hard to see that

>Does anyone know if the terrain mesh advertised today on the>AVSIM home page correct coastlines and in-land waterways?No. Terrain mesh like FS Global addresses elevation only. There are smaller packages that also correct shorelines (e.g., Holger Sandmann's various sceneries). And there are a couple of packages in the works that will correct shorelines throughout the United States: one by the author of GA-Traffic and one by the author of USA Roads. But neither has announced a release date yet.

Generally speaking, I wouldn't expect just mesh to correct shorelines, etc. One of those screenshots is meteor crater in Arizona. I don't think it shows at all with the default mesh, so it would be an improvement. Here's the same view with FSGenesis 32m mesh.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/100206.jpg

I can't really see any difference between Justin's FREE 38m mesh for Meteor Crater at least... :)

Hi,I bought FS Global some weeks ago. I think it is not any better or worse than any 74 m mesh from FSGenesis. The 38m US mesh looks of course much better.The main reason I bought this is that it covers almost the whole world. I like fly everywhere not just in my hometown.If you consider this coverage you get more for your money with FS Global otherwise FSGenesis mesh is fine.Alex
