June 20, 201510 yr Well, FreeMeshX meshes are all multi-LOD. Wow, thanks - I didn't know that, seems to be not mentioned anywhere. Another great plus of your work.
June 21, 201510 yr Wow, thanks - I didn't know that, seems to be not mentioned anywhere. Another great plus of your work. Yeah, I forgot to mention this. I could've saved space by not doing so, but I wanted to avoid any problems that may occur if I had not made them multi-LOD. Anyways, the African problems in Ethiopia are now fixed and so are the seam issues that occur every 30 deg of longitude. I think all I'll do now is correct some source data errors reported earlier in SE Asia, and we'll be set for the 1.04 release. Patch won't be as big as the 1.03 patch, but it'll still be large at around 1.5 GB. We apologize about the rather large patch sizes, but It's the price we pay for working with such high-res data (and large tile sizes). While source data artifacts can often be corrected with little patches, we've replaced some whole tiles because of unforseen issues with the NASA data. Some 30 m data near the Middle East, west Asia, and east Arica is missing in the NASA datasets, so we had to apply 90 m data to patch in the missing data. We thought our mosaic process would do the proper upscaling, and it did in a lot cases, but some tiles did not upscale correctly, so we have had to just replace whole tiles with corrected versions. Unfortunately, one tile can be anywhere from 200-400 MB, hence why our first few patches have been relatively large. With the fixes in east Africa, I believe we have replaced all tiles associated with this particular problem. I'm thinking when the USA LOD11-12 expansion is complete, we'll reissue FreeMeshX Global dataset with all patches integrated. Daniel Moser
July 5, 201510 yr Found this "water spike" in the UK mesh, about 1 nm from Shobdon airfield (EGBS). Screenshot co-ordinates are N52 14.07, W02 58.35 Andy
July 5, 201510 yr Have you trimmed the resample BGL output to the QMID 4 bounds as did Microsoft? You might consider that for the next version. Dick

Thanks Andy. We'll get this fixed. Have you trimmed the resample BGL output to the QMID 4 bounds as did Microsoft? You might consider that for the next version. Dick I've thought about it! But I haven't found any real benefit to doing so. Daniel Moser
July 7, 201510 yr Looks like the Rock of Gibraltar got transplanted.Location : Gaya Island, North-North East of Kota Kinabalu International Airport (WBKK)
July 7, 201510 yr Looks like the Rock of Gibraltar got transplanted. Location : Gaya Island, North-North East of Kota Kinabalu International Airport (WBKK) More like cloned since Gibraltar is certainly still there! Thanks for sharing the report! Daniel Moser
September 17, 201510 yr After consolidating these bug reports and some others in Brazil, I think it's almost time to issue a 1.05 patch. I also want to push a new Middle East update as well, and then merge the update and patches into an All-in-One patch that will take a user from v 1.0 straight to 1.05, and also release an incremental patch for 1.04 users. This will take a little longer to do, but I think it will be worth the wait. Daniel Moser

April 17, 201610 yr Mesh anomalies : The Lake of Sentani Around Sentani airport, Papua Province, Indonesia (WAJJ) is higher than the ground. It should be flatten. The ground mesh is higher than Wamena airport elevation in Wamena, Papua Province, Indonesia (WAJW). The airport elevation is exactly correct to the real world data. By the way, this is an excellent Free Mesh :wub: Thank you.

April 28, 201610 yr Really interesting. I get neither with FTX Vectors installed. But then again, most sources I've researched say the airport should be at 5085 ft MSL, while it's 5433 ft MSL with FTX Vectors installed. Hmmmm..... Daniel Moser
June 7, 20169 yr Hi Daniel, Many thanks for your FreeMeshX, I am up to date with patches 1.06 and even 1.07alpha but I have a small issue in Africa. My sim has FTXGlobal Base only, no FTXVector essentially default for the area, Below is a picture of FNLU (4th February Airport Luanda Angola) with FreeMesh Africa component loaded the airfield is in a depression, and also a picture with Freemesh Africa unchecked in the scenery Library. Kind Regards Jethro Cheers Jethro
June 7, 20169 yr Likely an airport elevation issue that can only be fixed by a vector update, but I'll go ahead and check if FTX Vectors does correct its elevation or not. Daniel Moser
June 9, 20169 yr Likely an airport elevation issue that can only be fixed by a vector update, but I'll go ahead and check if FTX Vectors does correct its elevation or not. Ta Daniel, but I don't have FTXVector so no AEC possible, just FMX and default FSX in this location. Possibly those with Vector could add it to the AEC list. Or I might need to use ADE to correct the airfield elevation. Cheers Jethro
