Macbrowndog Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi Guys. Is the download version on FS Global for P3DV4.xx compatiable with ORBX Vectors and scenery. I am currently using Free Mesh which is working fine. Thanks Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Foster Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm using it and it works real nice. All my P3D v4 pix on my Flickr (link in my signature) have it, so you can see in a bunch of different areas how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester945271 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yep and you can get the Prepar3d V4 installer from the PILOTS website. This allows you to either fully install it from scratch or if you already have it installed for another sim you can set it up with V4. Have used it since release. Enjoy Sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 If you are thinking of buying the mesh then make sure you install it on the same disk as P3D but not into the P3D directory. That way is recommended and you will always have a copy of the installation should something go wrong with P3D. You just add it to the scenery library manually. Saves a hell of a lot of time cos the whole world of Ultimate NG is about 80 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 """Is the download version on FS Global for P3DV4.xx compatiable with ORBX Vectors and scenery """ Orbx sceneries (especially full fat regions) don't need an additional mesh. Everything is already included. A mesh is necessary if you fly outside Orbx areas. There is no official recommendation for PILOT'S - FS GLOBAL ULTIMATE - NEXT GENERATION mesh made by Orbx. Users often reported problems, also here in the forum. Orbx products are based on the former FS Pilots Global 2010. Even the FS Pilots Global 2018 replacement hasn't got a clearance by Orbx.

Nick Cooper Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hello, products are indeed developed using the standard set by FS Global 2010 mesh. None of the other Pilot's products or any other mesh product are "approved". For example, here is one "official" comment on one effect that FS Global Ultimate mesh has on a product. Quote [added 27-05-2017] FS GLOBAL ULTIMATE MESH by Pilots FS Global Ultimate mesh is the sequel to Pilot's highly popular FS Global 2010 mesh; both products provide detailed mesh for the entire world. Some users have reported issues with Global Ulimate, specifically jumping-terrain issues, augmentation of the FSX/P3D "floating autogen house" bug, and unusual cliffs at LOIN heliport. This is caused by conflicting layering and resolution orders; FTX LOWI includes a higher-resolution mesh (native 10m). Avoiding Conflicts between FS Global Ultimate and FTX LOWI: 1. Go to your FS Global Ulimtate scenery folder, and then head to the EUR/SCENERY sub-folder. 2. Rename the file N47E011.bgl to N47E011.off 3. Restart FSX/P3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Farrugia Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Here's another from here for PNG/Tapini 3. PILOTS terrain meshes. This project is compatible with PILOT's FS2010 'FTX' version only. It is not compatible with Pilots Ultimate/Ultimate NextGen/Ultimate-Oceania/FS2018, If you use these there will be some elevation issues, to make this work you will need to deactivate some files: - Ultimate/Ultimate NetxGen: /OCE/Scenery DX087035.bgl DX087034.bgl To deactivate simply rename to .off or .bgx and this actually didn't fix my floating fences. Only having Holgers PNG installed made it right. So, as Dieter says, if you only fly Orbx Regions you probably don't need it. Some of my Orbx favourites though are not in Orbx regions - east coast US (Chester,Nantucket), LDDU, LOWI of course etc. I purchased and am not disappointed but know there are issues cause it is expensive. Hope this helps. cheers Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Swede in Spain Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Nick.... There are no files named "N47E011.bgl" In the NextGen folder. All files Start with DX...... Jack the Swede in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZK-OKQ Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Using Next Gen Mesh and see no issues at Orbx LOWI, or am I missing something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hello, the topic is not about all add on mesh products. If you wish to see the anomalies introduced by Pilot's - FS Global Ultimate - NextGeneration you would first need to buy and install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I bought the DVD version, no worries with downloading corrupt files. I've used it on many re-installs and it works and re-installs perfectly. It always looks at the Pilots website4 for most up to dat installers, so great job by those guys. I've been using it for some time now, I think I bought it when P3D went 64 bit and it really has been faultless. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchiozza Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I wish I knew how to correct what I am doing wrong. All I do execute the installer?? Going to try one more time otherwise I just wasted a lot of money for nothing. See below, I am not making it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 4 hours ago, cchiozza said: I am not making it up. Hello, if you are have purchased and are using Pilots Global Ultimate software, they have a program Airport Flattening Mesh for correcting discrepancies such as yours. If you have Global Vector run the Vector AEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchiozza Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 AEC has to be run 1 by 1, ALL the airports are wrong. I cant run it 24,000 times. I have run Vector AEC and it corrected the ones like KSEA. But that has always been an issue. Does anyone of using ORBX if there is a specific order to install Orbx Global, Vector and NALC in addition to FSGUNG? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Your problems might base on using FSGUNG which was never recommended by Orbx. See Posting #6 and #7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchiozza Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Dieter, yep sure looks like it. It does not say any issues in using it on the website at Pilots. I guess I wasted that money. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Try the scenery after you dactivated the North America part of FSGUNG to make sure that this is really caused by FSGUNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Swede in Spain Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Have been using Global NG for years without problems. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchiozza Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 No Sir, I just bought it because I thought it would enhance everything. Obviously a mistake. All they had to say was it conflict with orbx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
