This usually gives most cities a much better look (New York is a great example, where in OSM almost all buildings already have a height defined). This puts all (well, with some filtering of not reasonable stuff from OSM) buildings > 20m “height” or > 5 “building:levels” as some “high building” object (with a more or less correct height – as defined in OSM) in the scenery (“building:levels” are simply multiplied by 4m to get an approximate height). HD Mesh Scenery v4 also has the new “high buildings” feature included, which I introduced with Laminar in XP11.

Thus road / railroad bendings are more accurate and the same is true for rivers, shorelines (but where the OSM raw data is bad, this can’t help much either) The vector data simplification is less aggressive than in the default mesh (where Laminar needed to do that to limit the overall size of the global scenery).BUT this also vastly(!) improves the landclass data representation (which in X-Plane is very closely coupled with the triangle size in the mesh).this give – obviously – better DEM (elevation data) representation (slopes, mountains etc.).The triangle mesh resolution is far higher than in the default mesh and even a bit above the level of the previous HD Mesh Scenery v3::.The most important advantages of HD Mesh Scenery v4 are: It is using/referencing the exact same set of artwork files (textures, object, autogens, forests) which ship with XP11, so you do not need other art assets to be installed while HD Mesh Scenery v4 will also benefit from any artwork improvements (autogen, texture) coming with future XP11 versions. HD Mesh Scenery v4 can be seen as a vastly improved version of the default scenery shipping with XP11. IMPORTANT: Coverage to the north ends at 73 N !! Hawaii and most of the tiny Pacific Islands.Europe (from the Canaries and Iceland in the west up to Moscow an and most parts of Israel in the East).
