Orbx Announces British Isles Mesh for MSFS

Wow, that is a massive improvement when compared to the 10/20 metre mesh they offered with the TrueEarth GB products in P3D :ohmy:

Welcome to the next generation simulator🙂

This is what it says on the website, if that means every where is 1 Meter or only in remedial areas , I'm not sure.

  • Low-resolution areas in the current MSFS terrain mesh have been filled
  • Gaps were filled with airborne LiDAR data, with 2-m resolution in Ireland and 1-m resolution elsewhere

Anyone using this and have any feedback?

I was just about to ask the same, even though it's a little over the price of a beer (expensive pubs round 'ere!), I'd rather than money went on that beer than a mesh that may not be worthy.

I've been using it, there seems to be an improvement in the textures of mountainous areas and reduced morphing and popping. So far I've not seen any issues with airports.

I have seen that the cliffs on Guernsey are still popping but I'm not sure this area is actually covered by the mesh, possibly not other than than I've only seen good things for £7.50

Is there any point in this if you already have the three bought separately?

Just been for a low level run in the Vulcan from Prestwick up to Fort William and back down for a landing at Glasgow.

The mountains are definitely looking a lot more contoured and nobbled on their slopes. Again I didn't see any popping and noticed no performance change, and there was nothing out of the ordinary seen at GLA or PIK , pyreegue and uk2000 respectively.

£10 well spent I think   

I agree. I installed the mesh yesterday and while there aren't big changes, there are enough to make things a tad nicer. Morphing is still there, and I haven't experienced any issues with mismatched terrain around airports. Having said that, it's early days. But at the price I reckon it's worth a punt.

less mesh resolution = less morphing

more mesh resolution = more morphing

 

Any feedback on performance - is there any hit with this installed?

I agree, in theory. But as I say, I haven't noticed anyting that's particularly worse than without using the addon mesh. :smile:

If the mesh resolution is 2 metres, then there should be a big difference. What is the resolution of the default mesh?

it varies; lidar dtm is been mostly completed non long ago; however asobo been added high res mesh to British Isles for quite some time as the lidar data become available. All south of England is high res mesh; a 1 m or 2 m; this is screen taken over the Portland Bill in Dorset; is on a 1 or 2 m resolution by default.
