Note, do not run the installer as administrator - the downloader will fail. The entire download process is contained with a batch file that will commence automatically by simply double-clicking on it. Included is a command-line based download system that uses the free and open-source wget tool to retrieve each installer and its associated parts. The new installer method below does not apply to the Bit torrent downloads.įreeMeshX Global 2.0 is an update to introduce the new installation and download method that should alleviate the difficulty of installing FreeMeshX for some users. NOTE: DUE TO THE EVERY INCREASING COSTS OF FILE HOSTING, WE HAVE SUSPENDED THE AUTOMATIC DOWNLOAD SCRIPTS. Subtle improvements for these previously LOD9 regions will be found mainly in the accuracy of the mesh and level of detail in mountain ranges. Europe and Canada sees some improvement, but it's LOD9 mesh is just a one level upgrade to LOD10. These included remote regions of Africa, South America, Antarctica, and Asia. Largest improvements are found in regions that contained mainly the default LOD6 and LOD7 meshes. Defragmentation is highly recommended for mechanical hard drives to ensure smooth and quick loading. Each continent contains a number of 10 deg x 10 deg titles, mosaiced from 1 deg x 1 deg tiles into a 2.5 GB file, and then compressed into a BGL file. It wouldn't be in everyone's best interests to download all 46 GB at once, so we are releasing the product the product into continental regions for a total of 7 regions total. The final size of the product is 46 GB, making it one of the largest freeware projects ever for FS. Russian territories north of 60 N latitudeįreeMeshX was compiled using over 400 GB of raw terrain data. A separate LOD12 USA mesh is available for beta testing)Ī few regions are limited to LOD9 (76-m resolution): North America (LOD10 Canada is released in this mesh - default USA is already LOD10, so USA is not included for the base release. Compiling the source data into LOD11 yields neglibible improvements and is mostly a waste of precious hard drive space.įreeMeshX features LOD10 (38-m resolution) coverage for: FreeMeshX was created to bring the rest of the world up to the LOD10 standard as much as possible, although some regions of the world in the higher latitudes are still limited to LOD9 (76-m). The rest of the world varies from LOD6 to LOD9. LOD10 is equal to the same terrain level of detail used for the USA in the stock scenery. FreeMeshX is a global terrain mesh replacement for the stock terrain mesh and features LOD10 (38-m) coverage for almost the entire world.
