FSX Mesh for Southern Africa Scenery (All Parts)

Southern Africa gets sharper terrain relief with a complete 76 m SRTM mesh package covering base grids 0604, 0704, and 0705, including Mauritius, Madagascar, Comoros, Réunion, and Tromelin. Built for FSX using SRTM Data v2.1, it pairs cleanly with Aeroworx Terrain Features for matched elevations and more believable dams and airfields.

Installation instructions have been provided inside the ZIP archive by the developer.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • This mesh will work best with the latest release of Aeroworx detailed Terrain Features for Southern Africa. The level of the many dams and other vector data have been fine-tuned to the elevations to work within the Aeroworx FSX Mesh. 
  • You will still find some default dams and airfields to be sunken into the ground or sitting on elevated surfaces.
  • DO NOT DISABLE THE DEFAULT DEM FILE

LIMITATIONS

  • Please run your scenery at a 1m resolution, Mesh Complexity at 100 to enjoy the full benefits of the Mesh.
  • DO NOT use any other add-on meshes with this scenery.
  • Sunken or raised lakes and airfields:  Any high-res terrain mesh tends to reveal the often-inaccurate default lake and airport elevations.
  • Incompatibility with 3rd-party scenery add-ons:  Any add-on terrain mesh can negatively impact scenery add-ons outside of default airports.
  • Due to the limitations in the 76m mesh, water in dams will not always level up to the dam wall (Please run your scenery at a 1m resolution).

Developer: Hannes Steyn, Johan van Wyk, Aeroworx.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
