Current Base Mesh For P3D?

Recommended Posts

V3.1 - What is the current USA default mesh accuracy? Is it 19 meters between elevation points? And, what is the vertical definition of those points? Is it +/- 1 meter? Are 3rd party mesh products an improvement?

if you check out the FreeMeshX in the Freeware forum it may answer some of your questions.

It's the same mesh they have in FSX. It's not that bad. 38 m. There are many meshes out there that improve this resolution, but there are some side effects of using a 3rd party mesh due to P3D limitations.

 

And the vertical resolution is 1 m, which is fine for 38 m horizontal spacing. You won't get terracing with that.
