Editing X-Plane Meshes: Implications and Limitations

More and more developers of X-Plane add-ons decide to bundle custom-edited terrain meshes with their scenery packages. However, many of these developers aren’t aware of the implications which come with the edit and re-distribution of existing terrain meshes. In this context, Andras Fabian a.k.a alpilotx – the author of the fantastic HD and UHD Meshes – wrote…

HiRes Digital Elevation Mosaic

In the last few weeks I focused a new project that is somewhat different than the previous ones: This time, I do not develop a final X-Plane Mesh Scenery, but a source for you, to build your own (Photo-)Mesh: A HiRes Digital Elevation Mosaic out of more than a dozen sources (with a resolution of…

A4XP: Work on Elevation Models

I’m working on a mesh update of Antarctica4XPlane Part 2. For this I begun to merge some high resolution elevation models into the current low resolution model. With success, as you can see below: Shown is a digital elevation model of Ross Island [the current DEM on the left and the upcoming on the right],…
