The price is good, though Orbx seem to have sales at least once a month so I may wait  3 or 4 weeks and see if it drops even cheaper 😄

Hey I could buy a cheeseburger with that!

True but I have to budget in the Nieuport 17 and the Grob Tutor this week.

All up we have had 3 new planes released in the last 5 days 😄

I'm holding back on buying anything, but this one I must have.

This video which includes a mention of the Alaska mesh may be worth a look if you are interested in buying it.... something odd... about 2 mins in

Wow yeah me neither, I'm surprised how similar they looked.

[Glenn Fitzpatrick 3,799]

For me the difference is night and day, for example the area under the nose at 1:30 in the linked video looks totally different to me.

You either see it or you do not.

Though I find the mesh a bit of a waste of time at the altitudes reviewers seem to post from.  Both visually and in terms of terrain effects on approaches and flying you need to be down low for a high res mesh to matter.

With the NZ Mesh a heap of YouTube reviewers flew along at FL 350 or so and said "cannot see a difference" - well of course not you are at FL 350 .   For me with the NZ Mesh if I accidently fly with it disabled in the linker I know immediately something is very wrong, but heaps of people claim no difference there as well.

That said, if you cannot personally see a difference though, there is no point buying it.

With the NZ Mesh a heap of reviewers flew along at FL 35o or so and said "cannot see a difference". well of course not you are at FL 350 .

I just bought it and am loading up MSFS.  Will fly around Ketchikan and see if I notice a difference.  I can already say the NZ mesh was worth it and I could see a difference.
