FS DREAMSCAPES - NEXTMAP® PROMESH™ OKLAHOMA

NEXTMap^® ProMesh^™ Oklahoma - Terrain Mesh for Microsoft^® Flight Simulator X

NEXTMap^® ProMesh^™ Oklahoma is a new high-quality 4.75m terrain mesh product for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, aimed at providing the best-quality mesh to flight simmers.

• Imagine your dream to fly extremely low through canyons with walls so close that you have to fly knife edge in order to survive.
• Imagine flying at this same low level by the seat of your pants, the adrenaline pumping as you snake and wind your way through canyons and vistas you never thought possible in a simulator.
• Imagine your local landscape rendered at the highest possible resolution available for the terrain, looking every bit as true-to-life as it does through the window of a cockpit.

The NEXTMap ProMesh terrain series is based on high-resolution NEXTMap 3D elevation data for the United States and Europe produced by Intermap Technologies^™.

This terrain is eight times the resolution and 64 times more detailed than the default FSX terrain mesh for the United States. No longer are canyons 38m wide. Now you can experience the excitement of flying through canyons and valleys as close as 4.75m between walls. It makes for great low-level helicopter flying and for exploring unique geological formations that only 4.75m terrain can provide.

Unlike other mesh products, the NEXTMap ProMesh series is based on highly accurate and reliable elevation data, as opposed to the USGS 10m NED data, some of which is based on 60-year old land surveys.

FS Dreamscapes were the first designers to implement fractional elevation data settings, modeling all elevation changes to 1/25^th of a meter vertically.

The end result is terrain accurately reflecting subtle differences in elevation changes that allow pilots to fly in a virtual real-world enrironment, as close to reality as possible.

What is unique about NEXTMap ProMesh Oklahoma?

The NEXTMap ProMesh terrain is aimed at providing the best quality mesh available for Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

NEXTMap ProMesh Features Include:

• 5m NEXTMap based horizontal elevation spacing
• 64 times more detailed than the default terrain mesh in Flight Simulator X
• 8 times higher resolution than the default terrain mesh in Flight Simulator X
• 32-bit source data that translates into much higher vertical resolution in the dataset. 32-bit data compilation also reduces the striping and banding issues seen in other 16-bit terrain mesh renderings
• Fractional elevation sampling provides samplings to fractions of a meter vertically (e.g., 10.25m, 10.75m) compared to freeware mesh with only whole number samplings (e.g., 10m, 11m), which means smoother terrain on the ground and even smoother landings
