Europe mesh by
Mario Groezinger |
Mario Groezinger interpolated several European countries
in 100m (300 ft.) grid spacing from 1km-data. The improvement compared to
the standard scenery is enormous.
I don't use flightsimulator any more without his
scenery! |
| Rhein
mesh by Burkhard Renk |
Scenery of the Rhein valley between Bingen and Lahnstein, the
famous Loreley rock and surroundings. Includes a 38m elevated mesh scenery
of the valley, a proper readraw of the hydrography and the railway lines
on both sides of the river, with a tunnel through the Lorelay. |

short introduction for mesh terrains incl. tools:
1. Resample - reads 16-Bit-Integer grid elevation data, parameter
via control-file *.INF
2. Compress - use when required
3. Tmf2bgl - converts *.TMF-files (created by step 1 or 2)
into *.BGL-files |

| FSMesh |
FSMesh is a new scenery design tool for MS Flight Simulator 2000.
It is intended to integrate the creation of big, high detail elevated mesh
terrain and base scenery objects. You can import mesh information from DEM30
- files, DHM - 100 files and FSRail files. You can enter additional information
based on background images, scanned or digital maps as examples. You can
modify every input point to correct for errors or to adjust to your sceneries
need. Input to FSMesh has not to be in any grid form. FSMesh is not a freeware
program. |
