As an alternative take a look at FSProject's freeware mesh.

Like GTMS, it provides world coverage at 76m. In addition there is 38m coverage for many areas including GB/Europe, USA, and BC. Also 19m coverage for western USA (Rockies to west coast) and the Alps.

With reference to Just Flight's FS Global SE scenery mesh,
an interesting bit of information from Just Flight...
...Compatibility...>>>

**********************
FS Terrain and FS Global SE (For FS2004)

As the default mesh in FSX is of the same LOD (level of detail) as these titles, they are now redundant in FSX.

Presumably this also applies to Steve's SRTM scenery files with reference to FSX...?
