January 30, 20242 yr Thinking of grabbing one of these for my Prepar3d v5.4 setup, either the Pilot's 2024 Global Mesh or Orbx Global. Just curious which you chose (if you did) and how are you liking it? Thanks! Edited January 30, 20242 yr by AS129 - Michael Johnson Grammatical errors.

January 30, 20242 yr Two different products. Orbx global isn't mesh. Depending on where you fly the mesh can be very beneficial for elevation fixes. If the areas you fly in look blah then orbx base will give some life to those areas by giving better textures and fixing landclass errors. Both are beneficial depending on your desired outcome.

January 30, 20242 yr Pilot's Global Mesh plus ortho scenery is the best possible combination with final result quite close to visuals in MSFS Artur

Where do I get ortho scenery for P3D? I assume that’s different from photo scenery of which I have plenty? Vic green
January 30, 20242 yr Ortho is geometrically corrected, not affected with projection as photo. I create my own ortho files with program called FSET ( another one is 'Ortho4XP' ) Higher settings ( 1px=1m ) gives great results, flying for example over Mediterranean islands is stunning. Minus of this method is long creation of each ortho map ( hours ), and large size ( only for ortho i have 4Tb drive, for example Israel map is 32Gb, tiny Malta is 1.3Gb ) Once u see ortho&Global Mesh in action then you forget about ORBX 🙂 Edited January 30, 20242 yr by Beardyman Artur

January 31, 20242 yr Author Since I had some extra money left over from Christmas, I went ahead and got both and installed both. Holy cow! What a difference they make from a pilot perspective. I might check out the Ortho option at some point, but right now I’m gonna have a lot of fun flying around with all this new scenery and mash.
