FSX Mesh South America Project

This terrain mesh file is a part  of a whole project covering all the  Continent
of South America and some islands, divided  in tiles identified in a map by  its
column (letters) and  rows (numbers). Those  files were multi-LOD  compiled from
90m  SRTM2  source data,  reprocessed  with 3DEM  to  remove voids  and  spikes,
providing a 76.4m (LOD9) horizontal resolution topography intended for use  only
in FSX updated with SP1. 

Although not well documented, to improve performance, the updated FSX loads  DEM
files in threads and only the closer terrain (about 5 NM from the point of view)
is rendered in high detail, while at far distances FSX shows up its default  low
resolution mesh, when  there is not  a third part  terrain mesh compiled  in all
others intermediate level of details (multi-LOD).

This file covers the area inside the boundaries:
N = 28º 7,5' S; S = 33º 45' S;			
W = 60º 0' W; E =  52º 30' W;

FSX Mesh South America Installation 

Create a folder (anywhere in your HD)  and call it FSX_MeSA (could be any  other
name). That folder should  be activated before the  first load. In that  folder,
create  another one  and call  it Scenery  (no other  name is  allowed for  that
subfolder); 

\FSX_MeSA\Scenery

Unzip all FSX Mesh South America Project’s bgl files to that folder.

How to activate the folder:
Click in:
Settings
Scenery - Library
Add Area
Find the folder you created (\FSX_MeSA – or any name you have given) and click.
