What 700 Mb gets you...

Just downloaded all 692 Mb of FSGenisis 38.2 Meter Rockies Mesh.  It took me a whole 22 minutes to download!  I gotta say, I feel like I have stumbled on to something really great here.  They do payware, but this and the west coast mesh (only 450 Mb) are freeware over at Avsim.  Add to that, the free mesh on their site (literally dozens of freeware meshes) and that adds up to awesome.

Keep in mind, this covers most of the Rockies from Canada to Mexico.  It's worth it to go out of your way to get it.

700MB?  Just doesn't seem worth it.  I barely see a difference! ::)

Check your glasses Scorp!  It actually is more pronounced in the game.  When you're moving in a plane you see it better.  Keep in mind too, this covers and area from Canada to Mexico about 750 miles wide!

Yup, I installed both meshes the other day and it did make big difference in most areas and was well worth it.

I love cable!!! ;D

I just thought of a way for you dial-up guys to get this.  Go to an internet cafe.  They usually have highspeed modems and a CD burner so you can burn them.  Time is pretty cheap at about $3.00 per hour.  Go and get it!

Here`s another pic of the Seattle WA area with the new mesh.
It really makes it come alive.

Probably true, although there is more out there than any of us can begin to fathom. ;D ;D

They have the meshes broke down into several smaller downloads for the 56k guys.  I think they're broken to 10-15mb a piece.
