Pilot's Global Mesh versus ORBX

Featured Replies

Feel the itch to buy Global mesh from Pilot's and wondering if there will be no collisions with ORBX Global and/or regions already installed?

Depending on what version you get it was obrx endorsed, the later versions weren't tested by orbx before they were released so they removed their endorsement. There was a post on their forum long ago about it

Saying that the ultimate range works with the regions and global, I havent seen any problems in the past several yrs using the FS Global Ultimate - Next Generation FTX package

Many moons ago running  mesh at the 1m setting drew lots of memory and wasnt noticeable however with the ultimate range, the memory isn't a problem and there is quite noticeable scenery elevations and minor mountains and ridges which i never saw with other payware meshes at that setting.

 

Do it.

I suggest you do not buy. I took it and it has elevation problems with ORBX products.

Wonder no more.

Orbx Global products use P3D's default mesh, so any mesh product you add will give a massive improvement.

No showstopping terrain imagery conflicts with any Orbx Region (that I can recall). P3D selects the highest resolution mesh in the LOD around your aircraft anyway, so no mesh conflicts either.

With FSGUNG FTX, I selected 5m resolution in P3D. Not much visual benefit in the few areas of the World that have 1m resolution data and more likely to use up system resources cause CTDs with Terrain.dll errors.

I recently did a comparison of the foothills of The Rockies, just West of Denver in P3D (with FSGUNG at 5m) and again with the default MSFS terrain mesh. There was much more intricacy in the relief in P3D. It is worth buying, IMHO.

I’ve been a long time user of FS Global from Pilots. Here’s some comparison shots taken by Stefan Schaefer, owner of Pilots.
