Many thanks for all the kind comments. I'm considering removing some of versions to keep maybe only two in used. Mark (Pol) and I had a discussion, and he thought that one version could be integrated into WOFF in the future. So my question to you guys is, which version, among those available in first post would you like to see in WOFF? Hi xjouve, this is a long - awaited upgrade to the mesh. There was an improved one developed for the ETO CFS3 addon, but it was never fully implemented and there were some anomalies at the land/sea interface.
Given the occasional comment about flat sided features, have you had a look at the meshbuilderbudgets file? This file may need editing to match the more detailed mesh. Thanks! Not yet. I should look at it. Actually, I'm trying to get vector.zip to work as I believe it "flattens" mesh where rivers, roads, railways are passing by. But no luck at the moment. And just another quick thought - some of the zip files in the terains folders apparently load better if the files are extracted, and placed in a normal folder, but still named with the .zip ending (if you follow what I mean). I will give this a try and see if there are any differences. Oh that's interesting. Hallo @xjouve,
only a thought: the word "terrain-mod" can irritate some members, because Sim-Fans connect this word with a new sim-world. All as I know that is not the content of your mod, but an improved elevation (mesh-data) in combination with the more accurate waterworld /rivers. So I would call it "topography-mod" more likely (only a suggestion).
Greetings!
I understand. Well, this mod is only about elevation data (rivers will be released as a separated mod). So yes it could be renamed. It doesn't matter. Maybe "elevation data mod" would be more suitable then.

@Xjouve, My vote is for the "super-high" patch, ver. 1.0, that is only a bit larger than the default mesh included with WOFF - or the "highest quality" patch ver. 2.01 (which is smaller than the "highest quality" patch ver. 1.0 but is of equal quality if not better). The two lowest-quality meshes, obviously, should not be included - and, as well, it's not of much use to include the 90 MB size level-three mesh into the sim. that is the same quality as the default WOFF one, but reduced in size. (Super-high ver. 1.0 behaves particularly well in terms of fps and undulations are of course noticeable too, subtle hills, etc. - but will also behave well on mid-range and low-end rigs. - merely thinking out loud here in terms of what is most practical/beneficial for OBD to include in the sim itself.) Also, if possible - again this is something that you and OBD should discuss more thoroughly - perhaps having the "super-high" mesh patch ver. 1.0 as default in WOFF - but including a radio button in the workshop settings menu in WOFF - to enable ver. 2.01 of the mesh, highest quality, on more robust rigs. (Personally I like this last option the most but realize that, for practicality, it may be best to go with only one mesh-quality level as default in WOFF itself.) Thank you again Xjouve for these superb mesh improvements - very pleased with them. Von S

~ For my various FM/AI/FPS/DM Mods. for First Eagles 2, WoFF, RoF & WoTR, and tips for FlightGear, recommended is to check over my CombatAce profile ( https://combatace.com/profile/86760-vons/) and to click on the "About Me" tab while there. ~

I agree ... 'topography mod' very accurately and succinctly describes what this fine piece of work does. Great to see that OBD is looking at incorporating this right into WOFF as a native feature.

Hallo @xjouve,
it is great, that OBD thinks about an integration of your elevation-mod with next updates. On my system it is an absolut must have-mod for WOFF. I hope, it is allowed to say, that a second mod with the improved water/river-data would be the next logical step because they belong together (points of topography). And maybe OBD can integrate it too. That would be perfect in my opinion.
Because I see, that you work on a very interesting landcover-mod (kind of civilisation-mod) at the moment please let me ask, when do you plan the water/river-mod. Or do you have an other mod-strategy?
Thanks for answer and greetings!

Danke schoen! I already have made a water (most significant water shapes) mod for the entire frontline. However, it provides with only a small area of sea between france and england. Therefore, I'm trying to get something better before making it available. I also have mods for several parts of the front, including both watershapes and waterways. I'll probably post something soon.
