Hello, Can anyone tell me about Canadian Mesh Scenery and what is the best? Paticularly B.C./Alberta and the North ^60??Thanks,Kevin

Hi Kevin:Can't tell you about the quality of payware meshes because I don't own any (there are a number of new ones based on Shuttle Radar data) but there's a thread here:http://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.php?az=sho...&topic_id=12943In general, payware's claim to fame is the ease of installation and full coverage, though there might be an issue with respect to quantity over quality - that's my opinion! - see this thread: http://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.php?az=sho...sg_id=626&page=For freeware, there's the fantastic new Canadian Rockies mesh by Gary Snow (CdnRockies.bgl) and some of it overlaps with the demo for Raimondo Taburet's payware Canada mesh (srtm_canada.zip).For BC, you're only freeware choice is my set of mesh files (search for Holger Sandmann), which has been very favourably reviewed by John Dale: http://www.flynorth.com/BCMesh.htm (actually, there are some older freeware meshes of BC but they are based on 1-km resolution data which doesn't much improve on the default level of detail).For Alaska, there's the freeware meshes by Ed Denney in two versions (most people use the FS2000 version: slightly less detail but fewer visual problems) and it's the base for many freeware scenery add-ons in Alaska.The Yukon government has provided free 90-m digital terrain data but to date no one has turned that into a freeware mesh; I seem to remember that there's a payware version of these data, perhaps by FS Genesis???You can expect more freeware mesh files based on the Shuttle data becoming available soon; a wonderful example for eastern Canada is the 5-part Quebec mesh by Gilles Gauthier, available here at AVSIM.Hope that helps. Cheers,Holger

Hi Holger.I installed your BC Mesh last week and it is excellent!Thank you for all the work you put into it.FaxCap
