Administrator Heinz Flichtbeil 1609 Posted March 21, 2018 Administrator Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hello, The new UHD Mesh Scenery V4 for X-Plane 11 (not compatible with X-Plane 10) from alpilotX is now available in addition to the HD Mesh Scenery V4. It significantly improves some regions once again. Required: X-Plane 11.05 or higher !! Required harddisk space: about 45 GB (unzipped). We (Aerosoft) have again provided a download server for this. All download links can be found on the page of alpilotX. under "downloads". There is also the installation instruction in English. Service / discussions here again in the Aerosoft forum: LINK Here are the areas covered by the UHD Mesh Scenery V4: Canada West USA West Europe Pyrenees Europe Alps Europe Scandinavia Japan New Zealand Detailed Infos: UHD Mesh Scenery v4 can be seen as a vastly improved version of the default scenery shipping with XP11. It is using/referencing the exact same set of artwork files (textures, object, autogens, forests) which ship with XP11, so you do not need other art assets to be installed while UHD Mesh Scenery v4 will also benefit from any artwork improvements (autogen, texture) coming with future XP11 versions. General Characteristics of UHD Mesh Scenery v4 are identical to those of HD Mesh Scenery v4 (you can read those on its own page). The advantages of UHD Mesh Scenery v4 are: Uses 30m DEM data (instead of 90m DEMs)! Landclass data for some areas (USA West, Europe Alps, Europe Pyrenees, Japan, New Zealand) was re-created with very high resolution (compared to the data used in HD Mesh Scenery v4) resulting in even better landclass representation. The triangle mesh resolution a lot higher than in HD Mesh Scenery v4: this give – obviously – even better representation of the 30m DEM data (slopes, mountains etc.) BUT this also vastly(!) improves the landclass data representation (which in X-Plane is very closely coupled with the triangle size in the mesh). This is most obvious with forest detail. OSM data is updated (its “date stamp” is 10th January 2018) . Which makes it newer than the data in HD Mesh Scenery V4. IMPORTANT to know: 32 GBytes of RAM are highly recommended (64 GBytes are optimal)! Some areas might work with 16 GBytes of RAM too, but without any guarantee...
