Released: UHD Mesh Scenery v4 for X-Plane 11

Got hard drive space? This is for you! This version 4 update for the UHD mesh by alpilotx is exclusively for X-Plane 11, and covers the following regions: Canada West, USA West, Europe Scandinavia, Europe Pyrenees, Europe Alps, Japan, and New Zealand. Here are some excerpts from the website:

"UHD Mesh Scenery v4 can be seen as a vastly improved version of the default scenery shipping with XP11. It is using/referencing the exact same set of artwork files (textures, object, autogens, forests) which ship with XP11, so you do not need other art assets to be installed while UHD Mesh Scenery v4 will also benefit from any artwork improvements (autogen, texture) coming with future XP11 versions.

General Characteristics of UHD Mesh Scenery v4 are identical to those of HD Mesh Scenery v4 (you can read those on its own page). The advantages of UHD Mesh Scenery v4 are:

Uses 30m DEM data (instead of 90m DEMs)!

Landclass data for some areas (USA West, Europe Alps, Europe Pyrenees, Japan, New Zealand) was re-created with very high resolution (compared to the data used in HD Mesh Scenery v4)  resulting in even better landclass representation.

The triangle mesh resolution a lot higher than in HD Mesh Scenery v4:

         - this give – obviously – even better representation of the 30m DEM data (slopes,          mountains etc.)

          -BUT this also vastly(!) improves the landclass data representation (which in X-Plane is           very closely coupled with the triangle size in the mesh). This is most obvious with           forest detail.

OSM data is updated (its “date stamp” is 10th January 2018) . Which makes it newer than the data in UHD Mesh Scenery v4."

Alpitotx recommends a whopping 64 gigabytes of RAM for this to work effectively, with an acceptable level of 32 GB. Additionally, you can view a full album of over a hundred screenshots right here!

A great start to the weekend, no doubt!
