How does this fair to FS Global 2010 and does it work with FTX?

Featured Replies

I am looking for a scenery mesh program that works with FTX. Is this what I would get and how does it fair to FS Global 2010? Is there any before and after screenshots?

Well,

 

They are very similar products but different in some ways. FS Global 2010 is based off 90-m SRTM data sources, with a few additional sources, while FreeMeshX is based off 30-m SRTM data with a few other sources sprinkled in.

 

So FreeMeshX has better LOD coverage for most of the world, but FS Global 2010 has some nice LOD11 meshes for the U.S. and some mountain ranges.

 

I have quite a few pictures of FreeMeshX here, including before and after comparisons. http://imgur.com/a/XJtBU#0

 

MeneMene actually took this direct comparison of FS Global 2010 and FreeMeshX.

You can see the extra detail in the FreeMeshX topography, and that is because of the higher resolution source data, but FS Global 2010 is no slouch either.

These screenshots just beautiful coastline . You use a FTX vector?

trying to recall - did you not say a while back, that having BOTH FreeMesh and FSG 2010 installed would work and that FSX/P3D would choose the best LOD for the area?

 

Or is it, pick one or the other?

 

Thanx,

I purchased FSG2010 when the disks when on sale at an online shop in the UK ( I think the sale was advertised here).  Got a good deal at around $20 or $30.  Then installed FreeMeshX on top.  Have to say I am really pleased with the results.

You, sir, are a mesh enthusiast!
