Hi Roger

The freeware Everest scenery by Frank Dainese is very good.

I think Holger Sandmann did some Himalayan mesh? Maybe that was for FS9?

There's always Lukla of course -

the instructions for this scenery say to use the fs_him_01.zip mesh at avsim. but that says it is for fs9.
can anyone confirm that it is appropriate to use the fs9 mesh in fsx?
thank you.

The photoreal Himalaya area with mesh made for FS9 by Holger Sandmann will work perfectly in FSX. I was using it in my previous FSX installation.
However, those are FS9 textures, so 5m/pixel, not so good-looking if your altitude is not high enough ;)

EDIT: Here is how it looked like, in FSX Acceleration with my previous computer :)

Yes, FS9 mesh will work fine in FSX.

The Taburet Mesh for the Himalayas is a bit of a mixed bag. It looks very good in some regions, while in others there are quite a lot of artefacts (spikes, holes).

Thanks for all the replies fellas!:ernae:

I'll probably give Holger's Fs9 version a go when I can find the time to download it all, lol.
