...mesh terrain? :wavey:

OK, I know it's not sexy or hot like a new airplane or monster airport. But it's a return to design work for me after a couple of years of watch my body fall apart and is a project I've wanted to do for a L-O-N-G time.

First release (thought it would be the second) is for the contiguous United States and is now for sale at the Left Coast Simulations "new and improved" web site; http://www.lcsims.com

Previous customers of LCSims should take notice of the offer on the buy page.

It's not a fancy site, TBH and really, how much can someone dress dirt and rocks?

Other projects, such as AkCan and LaCaSa are in development. The goal is to enhance most of the planet and check 99% of the airports in FSX/P3D.
 
I do! I do! A few months ago you hinted I might wait a bit before buying mesh. I did. My already-slow DSL has been giving me fits the last few days, so I'd better hold off on big downloads until it straightens out. But I'm champing at the bit.
 
This looks very interesting, I have not been able to find any screenshots on the product page though.
 
One thing I forgot to ask. How are the airports affected by UTX ver2 and all the airports they moved.

And one more thing. Will your Canada/Alaska product be the same thing? 10m mesh with fixed airports?
 
I debated trying to have a "mesh showcase" on the site. My strange sense of humor (humour) had me Googling images of dirt piles.

But there are some areas that may visualize things well. A system crash a couple of months ago has left me with a barren FSX (I always design to a default install) and a mostly stock P3D. Though the logo above shows the mesh inside P3D 2.5.

I'll get some new carousel pictures up and link them to full size images. But a 'screenshot artist' I am not!

Rich, one thing I strived for was "not to take ownership of an airport". By that I mean moving or adjusting to such a state that it might impact anyone else's work. Not going to mention other products that seem to adjust every other airport or so it seems. But when you see someone having display issues at a BIG airport, there's generally one culprit that comes to mind. So if a product wants to change something about an airport, there's as near to default as possible in what I release.

And any product I release, hopefully AkCan is next, will have all the airports checked in-sim.

I'm 2/3 of the way through all of FSX/P3D's airports, can't stop now. :dizzy:

I didn't know UTX v2 moved any airports, just water, roads, buildings, bridges, lights. In fact, I have some airports jutting out into lakes, and roads running across runways. Hmm...just looked at the Flight1 website, UTX Europe and UTX Canada mention moving some airports, UTX USA (which I have) does not.
 
Dang. I just assumed. My bad. I just bought it a few weeks ago and haven't been all over the US yet. Thanks for the info. In the future, I will try not to assume stuff.
 
Oh, don't listen to anything from me, Rich. <label for="rb_iconid_7">

</label> I just bought FSX in June or July, so my knowledge on the subject is extremely limited. The airports I'm referring to are small ones in my neck of the woods. Larger ones might have indeed been moved. I've just never read anything from Flight1 saying so.

Sorry for straying off topic, Meshman. I might try to purchase your mesh this weekend.

lol I don't take what anyone says for sure so I checked and it seems you are correct. I got the idea in my head because a couple of the UTX programs like AK and TAC (which I don't have) actually moved a couple hundred airports each but there doesn't seem to be a mention of moved airports in the other three which I have. That clears up the only objection I had to this mesh which looks excellent and the only one I've ever seen that corrects airport heights. And it's reasonably priced. Also, I don't think your post was off topic.
 
Hey, who's talking airports here?

Strange, but true. In v1 of the vector product(s) (not TAC), those re-positioned airports came about because of a certain someone. :wavey:


Also I had a purchase a little earlier from someone in Texas and the emails are bouncing back that get sent out. So please contact me here by private message and we'll get things taken care of. Even if I'm on my first cup of coffee.


OK, you may resume your discussion about airports... :adoration:
 
Good to see you back to doing what you do so well. I have several of your meshes, and wondered how this new mesh will or will not affect those. Especially the Utah 5m and WV 2m resoluions. Been awhile glad to see you back at it, all the best Don

Hello Don!

Any of the earlier work is not a problem, it will take priority of the 10 meter mesh. But I would still layer the state files above the US files so that the airport rendering is done correctly.

Please take note of the text in red on the buy page for previous customers. :wavey:

Great stuff, Meshman! Some of the airports blend into the scenery better than the default. And no hit on my frame rates at all. Thanks for all your hard work.
