Are you on something right now?  😄

 

Err, no, I was just thinking of taking on the Andes by Frog - particularly - the Himalayan Sleeping Frog.

So, maybe in the future, would it be possible better than this? 

Yep, though remember that as you double the resolution you quadruple the size, due to the law of squares.   So there is a functional limit on just how fine a resolution you can get.

Without before and after pictures there is very little to say for me.

If you follow the link, the author provides a number of comparison shots on the mod page.

Thank you, again for your kind help

Thanks, I did check a few hours ago but there weren’t any added... Nice shots.

This is a great add on indeed! Quite some morphing going on but definitely a remarkable improvement. Thanks for the heads-up.

I think I have reached FlightSim Nirvana. This DEM + the Tree distance fix + VR is unbelievable. Cruising around here in a 230HP Cub is so real... I don't have words to describe this.

You mean this ugly greenish brownish blob?

You are confusing mesh resolution with texture resolution. The meters in mesh resolution refer to the minimum distance between two points. All elevation variations below the minimum distance will be flattened out.

Oh, is that so?  Thanks for the correction, I hate telling people wrong, 🙂

I was also looking for a resolution to LOD conversion table, since you often see mesh resolution quoted as LOD, but couldn't find anything.

It’s not just Italy it also covers Swiss and Austria.

Whatever the quality of this particular one, it’s good to see that meshes can be imported relatively easily.

Didn't Asobo change the Dem in the last update? As the Matterhorn mod doesn't blend at all (author is aware), so whilst these Dems maybe good for now what's to say they won't be screwed up after the next official patch?

Besides that, great to see it for free so thanks to the modder for the work.

I would say « will be interpolated ».

I guess the modders will have to update their mods after every official DEM update. That‘s why I refrain from buying mesh add-ons for now. The freeware one seems to be just as good as the payware add-on anyway.

The Matterhorn problem is kind of funny. The photogrammetry one just floats on top of the other Matterhorn and I can fly under it. In VR it‘s almost an „Inception-esque“ experience.

Is the default mesh in MFS2020 part of local installation or streamed from bing together with the textures? If it's streamed, I wonder why the resolution is so lonw, bing should have much more detailed mesh resolution.
