FSGenesys!!! Is this really free stuff???

Recommended Posts

HI Jim,They really aren't duplicates. In order to fit the Extreme Landscapes on three CDs, some of the flatter areas were recompiled at 76.4m, thus significantly reducing file size, since predominantly-flat areas really don't show very significant improvement going from 76.4m to 38.2m resolution anyway.So, looking at my file-naming conventions, you can see that one file is 38m resolution and the other is 76m resolution.Since we are talking relatively little disk space savings, nothing is hurt by leaving the 76m files there. The simulator will automatically display the file with higher resolution. Hope this helps-------Justinhttp://www.fsgenesis.netHigh Quality Scenery for FS200x

>>imagine all the misaligned airports and lakes 76m accuracy>would create!I think you misunderstood what 76 meter stands for. It is the accuracy of sampling data (in elevation). It can't possibly cause "misaligned" lakes or airports. The worst it can cause is smoothing of abrupt elevation changes. Michael J.
