February 22, 201610 yr I have Anchorage X but its unclear if it comes with surrounding mountain mesh. I also have FSGenesis Alaska-Hawaii Terrain Mesh installed. The mountains sure don't look very good to me. See pic. Is there a way to turn it on and off to see if the mesh is working?
February 22, 201610 yr FSX will load and display whichever mesh is higher quality. David Graham Google, Network+, Cisco CSE, Cisco Unity Support Specialist, A+, CCNA

Yes unclick it in scenery library take screen shot - then turn it back on it scenery library take another shot in same position - and compare Rich Sennett

February 22, 201610 yr I'm using .exe FSGenesis mesh, so there is no Scenery Library item to uncheck. I could uninstall and reinstall but that seems like asking for issues to me. In the older version, and perhaps current, FSGenesis installed into the individual numbered scenery folders. I manually moved the files from their installed location to a FSG folder, which I placed into the scenery folder and added to the FSX scenery library. It made it a lot easier to enable/disable the mesh when I had issues or questions.

It made it a lot easier to enable/disable the mesh when I had issues or questions. That is a good idea. I've installed about 20 .exe type FSGenesis mesh installers. Problem now is trying to figure out which one is what region. I see the various FSG files inside scenery/world with endings of like 0001 or 2001 but have no clue which is for where in the FSX world?
February 22, 201610 yr Anchorage X doesn't cover the mountain area and doesn't include mesh. The default mesh for most of Alaska was compiled at 38m. The FSGenesis Alaska/Hawaii mesh is also compiled at 38m for Alaska. There's no way to tell which is which from a screenshot and if what you see is, in fact, either of the two 38m compiles I doubt there is anyway to tell visually at all.
