Both have some pretty breathtaking vistas, and both have shoddy ortho imagery available. I'm a bit like @jh71 above in that areas that I know get ortho, and thankfully the coverage is pretty robust. Everywhere else will do just fine with this. Can't wait to see Kilimanjaro and the surrounding areas! Only problem: I have nowhere said that Africa is covered ... because it isn't .... Everything else will be fine.

December 7, 20178 yr Moderator Craft beer is becoming very popular now, and I'm not complaining about it. I'd say I prefer Polish craft beers, but I'm just biased about it Anyway, really looking forward to this. I really like how the forest/woodland areas are much better defined, and the extra definition in the land textures.

I really like how the forest/woodland areas are much better defined, and the extra definition in the land textures. Yes, this is one of the big strengths of the HD approach .... I would even dare to say, that this effect is even more important than the improved DEM representation (in this area UHD Mesh has the real edge).

December 7, 20178 yr The forest/woodland definition in those photos looks so great. The more I fly Ortho4XP the more I dislike those misplaced trees and forests. I'm still new to XP11, just curious what is the relationship between UHD mesh and Ortho4XP tiles? Can the two be used together or they're both about mesh/texture so only one can actually get used by XP11? 9950X3D / 64GB / RTX5090 / Pimax Crystal Light / Win11
December 7, 20178 yr You already suspected, both are mesh based and can not be used together. For forests on Ortho4XP, I recommend Simheavens: http://simheaven.com/?page_id=14813 . They are based on OSM, and in Europe at least, they are usually a better match. Or you can use the overlay option in Ortho4XP to create a new layer with the new UHD mesh (after it is available). But then you would be downloading huge amount of data only to create those overlays. With the latest XP11.10, I stopped using Orthos, I think the default nails it already pretty well, and I expect this to improve a lot with the new UHD mesh. Waiting the release to test my broadband !

Waiting the release to test my broadband ! Careful. Here I am always talking about HD Mesh Scenery ... NOT UHD. Yes, there will be some UHD updates coming too .... but not immediately (rather - maybe - in the first quarter of 2018).
