FTX England/Scotland = Disappointment! AVSIM wishes our friends and volunteers a very Happy New Year! What it looks like to me is you've stated that Orbx released FTX Global and all of their products for Prepar3D ONLY. I agree that EU ENG was a let down (and I've not re-installed it, after a recent FSX rebuild) but I think EU SCO was a. Jun 05, 2017 Hello, first post here. I have some Orbx products and I use FSX SE. I live in the UK and tend to do about 60% of my flying within the UK the remainder in the USA mostly with FSE. Global Open LC Europe and Regions EU England Scotland Wales Sign in to follow this. Notably the structure of cities is much better represented in, say, FTX.
FS Global 2010 is the first product of the series, that covers the whole world, including areas that are not even covered by SRTM data like Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, Russia and Scandinavia etc. Since we used new data sources for this product, much higher resolutions are possible than it was the case with SRTM data that was limited 76 m.
FS Global 2010 is a software, which delivers mesh scenery (= 3D wireframe) for the whole globe. (We often are asked “Is it really the whole world, which is covered?” The answer is “Yes, the whole world is covered”.)
The resolution of the mesh is up to 9m, where data permits and resolution makes sense. This means, the points of the wire frame are 9m apart. For technical geeks: THE LOD varies from LOD 8 to LOD 12. LOD 8 for “flat” areas (you don’t need LOD 12 there, since flat is flat, whatever LOD you will render it in) and more to LOD 12 for mountainous areas (data availability permitting).
It seamlessly blends into your existing Flight Simulator scenery.
This edition was designed to support FS Global Vector as well as Orbx FTX Global Texture, Vector and LC as they are made available. Install all of them and you have a completely new Flight Simulator World.
It can at any time be used as a standalone mesh add-on as well.
FS Global 2010 for FTX was designed to work with Microsoft FSX and Lockheed Martins Prepar3D 1.4 and Prepar3D 2.0.
Features:
(FS-Mesh- and sourcedata in 9m resolution!) for Hawaii (complete) and the southwest of the US, south of 38째N and west of 108째W (ca. Mesa Verde -> Point Reyes) High Quality Coverage of North America (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.
