New mesh terrain for Flight Simulator !

FS Global 2010 goes beyond SRTM and its limited coverage between about 60°N and 60°S. It goes beyond the current SRTM resolution of LOD9 (76m).

Here are some of the improvements:

• LOD12 (FS-Mesh- and sourcedata in 9m resolution!) for Hawaii (complete) and the southwest of the US, south of 38°N and west of 108°W (ca. Mesa Verde -> Point Reyes)


• High Quality Coverage of Northamerica (and p.Canada!): nationwide LOD11 (19m)


• Greenland, Iceland and Scandinavia in LOD 9 (76m; standard SRTM resolution)


• Additional high resolution areas in Europe in LOD11 (19m): High Tatra, Scottland, Hardangervidda (Norway)


• Huge areas in the north of Russia in LOD9


• Antarctica in LOD8


• Sophisticated new algorithm for correct views of ridges and peaks (most of them should have been higher and will now be nearer to actual value)


• New algorithm for reducing irrelevant data for higher data compression


• New algorithm for finding and correcting errors


• Airport-Patches for prominent problem areas


• A tool for the user to correct wrong airport elevations
