Hi everyone, I would like some guidance or steps to integrate a better resolution mesh. I would like to use the new 15m/30m DEM files from Mexico while keeping all other data (OSM, vector, etc.) untouched. (well, would be great to integrate new OSM data also because it has grown a lot since the original XP10 release). I know editing DSF files it's not a walk in the park but better than waiting an official update! Thanks in advance! Jerry C. -
Hello Friends, I am a new FSX convert who is loving the X-plane world! I have begun adding in scenery from Tom Curtis, Al Pilot, and SimHeaven. On the SimHeaven website FAQ they state: "Note that HD mesh files work only when there is no photo scenery active in this region, as photo sceneries have their own mesh, derived from standard x-plane dsf or from hd scenery mesh." Now I am confused, because the photosceneries come with there own mesh, but then they have a subsection that states: "HD Mesh v2 for photo sceneries ZL16/ZL17 for X-Plane 10.25 and up, derived on HD-Mesh v2 published by Andras Fabian, brings a higher resolution base mesh, much more detailed elevation profile and landclass data." On Andras site, he states they can not be used together, but there are no adverse reactions if you do. I don't get it. I want to use Al Pilot HD Mesh, as it will actually download. On America South ZL17 from SimHeaven, the download stops halfway through the 11.1gb download. Very frustrating! Do any of you have a sloution? I fly the West Coast US mainly, so this is the area I am most interested in. Thanks in advance, -Woog

This little free(donationware) script (now in Version 2) helps to transform most parts of DSF files of X-Plane 10 Global Scenery to the GML format. The GML file then can be opened with most modern GIS tools, like the open source tool QGIS, to visualize the internal data structure of the DSF. DISCLAIMER / IMPORTANT: this tool is only for technically versed / interested persons, who know: how to work with the command linehave basic knowledge of scripting languages (especially AWK)do know what GIS means, and how to work with GIS tolls!I will NOT give support/help of any type to people who obviously lack any of these skills! This tool is only for visualization purposes and will in no way help you edit the basic DSF structure! Currently it recognizes these DSF features (and their properties – you can read a lot on them and their use and properties under this link): terrain triangles (physical and overlay) this also means water (.TER)TERRAIN name of terrain type assignedFLAG physical or overlayforests (.FOR) polygons and linesTYPE forest name (FOR) used1.
