[quote]But then again I am running the "roads" package along with the FS Genesis terrain mesh and landclass for all of America........ so I don't know WHAT it would look like with the default terrain mesh.

I didn't get US roads, but I've got FSGenesis landclass mesh, West Coast, and Roads.

Well, for my area in central CA, it's stunningly accurate. got my road cul-de-sac in the right place with magnetic north in the right place etc. Even the stream that runs close and crosses one of the main roads near my block is there. Highways are all there near my local airport. Could be helped that FS2004 had my local airport featured as a stop in one of the early historical routes through CA in 1930's.

Yosemite roads are horrible though. Streams and roads on wrong impossible slopes. though the terrain  is beautiful and accurate. Las Vegas is messed up as the elevation differes from the surrounding FSGenesis landclass and the MS Vegas expanded scenery (Vegas folder in Cities).

Well there has been an update 1.1 patch(about 22 Mb) out just a few days ago. Guess I'll check it out sometime.

How does the FSGenesis terrain mesh compare to FS Global 2005? I'm new to all these scenery add ons but am trying to look for the best bang for my buck. I am assuming you can go with any terrain mesh to match something such as American Roads, but then again I may be wrong here? FS Global 2005 claims to be from space shuttle shots of the Earth, and requires up to 16GB in hard drive space, but that number is uncompressed, and also not to say just because a file is of a larger value that it necessarily has more detail... ???

Yes, you can get at an independent terrain from FSGenesis' roads; at least that's what's advertised. Just another layer on top of another.

If you want to see sample pics and their forum, the site is www.fsgenesis.net. I don't really know about FS Global. Maybe avsim.com has a review section on it...
