FS2002 vs FS2004 Terrain Resolution - Page 11

by admin — last modified 2006-05-31 06:22

An examination of the maximum resolution at which terrain can be displayed in FS2002 and FS2004. IMPORTANT! Since this article was written, FS2004 Update has restored FS2004 to 19m capability.

What we find (5)

Having discovered the limit for FS2004, we still need to find the limit for FS2002.  In order to do this, the screenshot above is a repeat of the first one we saw, i.e. FS2002 with a setting of TMVL=21. 

On the next page we'll be looking at the same scene, but with TMVL=22. As we noted earlier, this requires a terrain mesh compiled at a resolution of at least ~9.6m (LOD 12), so for the purposes of the test, an area of VFR Terrain specially compiled to this resolution was used.
