John Venema Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Orbx is pleased to announce that an easy-to-install packaged version of Holger Sandmann's 76M freeware mesh covering the entire Australian continent is now available for download. Orbx is pleased to offer as a free download this 76 metre resolution terrain mesh for FSX, covering all of Australia including Cato, Lord Howe, Norfolk and Saumerez Islands. We've nicknamed this "HolgerMesh!". Sourced from 90 metre SRTM data and resampled and converted to be fully compliant with the new terrain features of Flight Simulator X, this superb quality product rivals any payware mesh available today at a price you can't beat! Why would you need this? If you have not already purchased any 3rd party terrain mesh products for Flight Simulator X (such as FSGlobalX or FSGenesis), this download and self-installer will add more definition to mountains, hills, canyons, coastlines and generally finesse the terrain to be more realistic than the default FSX one. Highly recommended. *** IMPORTANT *** Windows XP users: The installer requires that the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.x be installed on your Windows XP PC prior to installation. ZIP File Download Size: 241MB http://fullterrain.com/freeware.html For a great comparison guide on FSX default vs. FSGlobal vs. HolgerMesh, please have a look a Barry Meiklejohn's great document attached below: HolgerMesh_Overview_And_Comparison.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
