FS2002/2004 default mesh terrain does not give you a true picture of the landscape, therefore I recommend the installation of "LightWeight Mesh", an excellent freeware program by Svante Wendel that makes things look much better. You can find the zip files at Avsim's file library;
You dont have to install the whole package. EurMed-1.zip covers Israel and the nearby countries.
Installation
If you are confident in the way you make your installations then please do it now, but if you want some guidance on installing this freeware then please see my recommendations as follows. An attached screenshot of the folder tree, after installation, will also help you;
Installation FS2004
1.Open the zip file into any folder, but not an FS2004 folder.
2.Read carefully the installation text file.
3.You will find 2 main folders in the zip:
Documentation folder (A)
Israel Landclass North folder (B)
Scenery sub-folder (B1) (no texture folder!!!!)
4.Create a new folder; [Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\Israel Landclass] - without the brackets of course, and;
- Keep folder (A) wherever you wish or copy the files from the folder into the new folder you just created. The files will not affect the scenery.
- Copy folder (B) and sub folder (B1) into [Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\Israel Landclass].
5.Create a new folder; [Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\LtWtMesh] with a Scenery sub-folder. Download EurMed-1.zip from AVSIM (please refer to the link above). Open the zip and copy all 7 BGL files into the Scenery sub-folder you created.
6. Optional Download Rosh-Pina (LLIB) airport scenery by Anatoly Kras from Vatsim-Israel division http://simdata.sourceforge.net/vatil/ (home/download/scenery) and install it as explained in the txt file of the download.
7. Start FS2004 and go to settings\scenery library\add area. Activate all new sceneries one at a time. Give the mesh scenery a lower number of priority. To get the new sceneries into effect you need to restart FS2004.
8. Start a flight from anywhere in the scenery area (see maps) and have fun.
Installation FS2002
Installation in FS2002 is actually the same as in FS2004. For the installation of LtWtMesh in FS2002 you should follow the instructions given in the text file of the download.
Uninstall
Delete by un-checking manually from the scenery library menu in FS2002/FS2004 the sceneries you want to eliminate and only then remove the folders from the folder tree.
