FSX Mesh In LOD 10 (30m) Of West Indies Arc Scenery

Mesh In LOD 10 (30m) Of West Indies Arc, Caribbean. By Valladier Jean-Louis.

Run under Window XP and Vista: FSX SP1 and SP2.

Since June 29, 2009, NASA and the Ministry of economy, of the trade and industry of Japan put on line a new database of digital models of ground, carried out with the radar ASTER of the Terra satellite of NASA.It is the GDEM (Total DIGITAL Elevation Model). In addition to a better geographic coverage than the SRTM (99% against 80%), GDEM offers a resolution of 30 m (LOD 10), including in Europe and in Canada. The resolution formerly available exclusively on the American territory from now on is extended to the whole world!

Since I make scenerys for FSX (especially for the Caribbean) I felt frustrates by basic relief (Mesh in LOd9 is 78m) offered by FSX. I have tries to correct a little bit that for small surfaces (thanks to the famous program Sbuilderx ) with a result which leaves however much has to wish.

With the GDEM I am creating the meshs in LOD 10 for any West-Indies arc. To date only the errors due to the clouds taken for tops was creating some problems. I have rectifies these default within sight of the surrounding relief in order to preserve an acceptable design.

All my scenerys support without problem this news meshs (except error of which I ask you to make me share) has to know.
