Hey all. I'm looking to learn how to create mesh. Are there tutorials and/or programs that you reccomend? Thanks!:-jumpyhttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg------------------Kenneth WeikTWVA395 / [email protected]

Hi Kenneth:there can never be enough mesh designers ;-) Welcome!A good starting point, IMHO, is Steve Greenwood's website: http://www.fs-traveler.com/welcome.shtmlAlso, the FS2002 Scenery SDK documents are brief but required reading (Steve's writings will help you understand some of the "fuzzy" parts of them):http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul...wnloads_sdk.asp Depending on how deeply involved you'd like to become (and the base data you're planning to use) it's probably a good thing to download, install, and familiarize yourself with the basic functions of MicroDEM:http://www.usna.edu/Users/oceano/pguth/website/microdem.htm(do a search in this forum for "Microdem" to receive some more tips on how to use it).Other than that I'd recommend picking a small area that you're familiar with and with quite a bit of relief, so that you have a good chance of a quick and positive experience.Hope this helps. Cheers, Holger

Thanks for the quick response and links! I'm actually planning to do my home town area, if its good, I'll connect it with MAAM-SIM's KRDG scenery.:-jumpyhttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg------------------Kenneth WeikTWVA395 / [email protected]

Hi Kenneth.The source for elevational data you'll need is probably the National Map's seamless NED data:http://seamless.usgs.gov/start.htmThe format you'll eventually want is BIL... which needs no tranlation for Microsoft's resample program.Dick
