Perhaps, this question has been asked before. Anyway, my question is directed primarily to 'alpilotx' or anyone else who also knows the answer. I have just installed X-Plane 11. I'm interested in also installing 'alpilotx's' Orthoscenery, his HD Mesh v4 and his Forests mesh. Are these applications compatible and do they work well together, or do I need to choose between them, either Orthoscenery or HD Mesh v4? or something else? While the answer will be obvious to anyone who has installed these programs and knows how the programs are structured, I haven't seen anyone ask the question yet. Thank you for considering my inquiry.

mesh add-ons P3DV5: Default-Mesh vs FS Global 2010 Mesh
Mischung posted a topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Hi! Now that V5 is out with updated mesh and airport data I wanted to check for the need of a 3rd party mesh addon or any elevation corrections (like Vector provided). This was my setup up to V4.5: - Mesh: FS Global 2010 - FTX Vector to provide the AEC (Vector therefore had its own set of airport BGLs, which was horrible regarding updated navdata!) - Herve Sors updated stock airports in combination with FSAerodata to update other navdata (Again: It was a mess regarding the Vector and some LC airports!) My plan for V5, which may come true: - No need for an addon-mesh, or if using one, no need for airport elevation corrections (airport position should be correct now!) - Future possibility to update the stock navdata using Herve Sors updates (I know he is working on that already). - In short: less addons and keep it more simple 😉 So to start with, I did a comparison of the default mesh with my old FS Global 2010 mesh for several airports which are prone to elevation problems. I put them together as animated GIFs, so you may just scroll down an see the differences. Settings: mesh resolution: 5m (for me this is enough and higher resolution causes some strange effects sometimes) texture resolution: lowest possible setting (just because of the loading time when switching through all these airports 🤣) -> looks horrible I know addons: ORBX Global and all available LC-addons installed, but of course it's just for mesh comparison! Conclusion: My conclusion is, that the default-mesh and updated airports are pretty good now and I maybe will not use my (of course) quite old mesh-addon for now. On the other side it did not cause severe elevation issues, so enabling it does not hurt (did not test all 24000 airports 🤪). But see yourself and make up your own mind!
