South America mesh question

Featured Replies

Hi All,I was looking at the freeware mesh by Andy Weir and wondering if I should download.I already own the FSGenesis Andes mesh, but that doesn't cover all of S America...it does however cover my area...Lima...as I live in the foothills of the Andes.My questions are this... How does SRTM mesh differ from the FSGenesis type?Will I still see the annoying airport elevation problem with them either being in holes or raised up?Thanks,Paul

Rather than leave you without an answer I will do my best.SRTM mesh uses data from the "Shuttle Radar Topography Mission" which as I understand it provides data which gives something like a 3D view down from space of the whole world. SRTM is therefore a source of data used to build the mesh.Although I am not a FSGenesis or mesh expert I do know that for the USA and Canada they did not stick with just SRTM data but relied largely on National Tographical Data provided free by the governments of each country which I will assume for now gives better detail.Although I do not know of the existence of a Topographical Database for any parts of South America if that database does exist then maybe FSGenesis used that rather than SRTM data and maybe that would give the FSGenesis mesh a more accurate representation of what the land really does look like.Again, I am low on the list with regard to how mesh is constructed and I hope someone who really knows what they are talking about can help you some more.My head hurts :-(Andrew Brownhttp://www.gordiusfs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
