GrumpyOldGamer Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 http://store.steampowered.com/app/379551 I have so far all the FTX Orbx Global DLC - Global Base, Global Vector, OpenLC Alaska/canada, OpenLC EU, TreesHD & I also have Active Sky Next Steam edition would my experience be enhanced with FSX: SE - FS Global 2010 Add-On? What would it do better for me or make better? Mountain Bump mapping etc? Would it be a great improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Most orbx addons have used Global 2010 as their mesh test bed. Having more detailed mesh will enhance all the hilly and mountain regions in greater detail, wordwide if you buy the full set. For orbx regions they mostly include a detailed mesh except for a couple that i can think of like the 2 Ireland sceneries, so additional mesh is not necessary if you fly in FTX Regions. If you want a more detailed Global i.e. non FTX world then yes it would enhance your sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi. Short advice, yes most definitely as that is what the Orbx developers use. Yes I have been looking at that in the Steam store as I use at the momment Global 2008 mesh. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyD Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Before taking the plunge on Global 2010, you can try using FreeMesh X. I should state I have both, but I tend more towards FreeMesh X because it uses newer data and issues more frequent updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, mesh is included in Orbx's full-fat regions. Mesh is not included in FTX Global. If you want enhancement to the default mesh outside the boundaries of the full-fat regions, you'll need a mesh add-on. For what it's worth, I use the Pilot's Global 2010 mesh product that is on sale now (I purchased mine from the FlightSimStore) and I'm happy with it... BUT I agree with @jjaycee1 that there may be other products with more recent source data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
