Placement of 70m Mesh?

I have obtained some 70m mesh for FS2004...Based on the screenshot below, where should I place ghe mesh files? Should i just dump all of them into Addon Scenery? Thanks!

I would hope that the mesh originator could tell you! But, one thing about Ultimate Terrain, if you are going to be putting airfields into the Addon Scenery folder then you need to move the folder above the UT in priority.

Any separate addon mesh scenery should always be placed in the lowest possible priority and just above the default scenery library entries. The UT meshes shown in your screen shot are therefore positioned correctly.

OK...So: From top to bottom: Addon Scenery...UTUSA...UTAK-CN...Mesh...Propeller Objects and so on...

Correct?

 

Thnks for all of your patience and assistance!

Not sure mesh really needs to go on the bottom of other scenery. You read this everywhere but Orbx founder back in the VOZ days insisted mesh should be on top. Anyone who has VOZ I think it states this in the manual as well. I've run mesh on top last 3 1/2 years and have seen no issues. Just for the sake of it, I'll switch it to the bottom for a while.

 

The only time you may want your standard mesh down the list is if the scenery you install comes with mesh. In this case, may be best to add that particular scenery above your standard mesh so the mesh in the scenery gets priority. I personally haven't found any difference regardless of where the mesh is. I simply put scenery mesh above my normal mesh.

That's right, it doesn't really matter where mesh is located in the scenery list, but it makes sense to group it all together someplace!

FS reads mesh differently to other scenery elements, it will simply select the highest resolution mesh installed for the scenery tiles currently in use.

Therefore you can have a global mesh, a regional mesh, and an airport or city mesh for the same area installed all at the same time and FS will only use the highest resolution one.

Yes, exactly how I understand it unless the resolution from 2 different mesh scenery folders is the same. Then I believe FS will use whichever one is placed higher on the scenery list.

I found it interesting John Venema from Orbx insisted mesh needed to be above everything else. I never read of a specific reason given for this. Across the net everyone claims it must be placed last. This is why I did my own testing and after long periods running it both ways top and bottom in the scenery list I have found no difference whatsoever.

Here's what I was able to dig up Regarding Mesh....and have always follow this rule.. http://stevemg.net/fst/priority.shtml

I have actually downloaded all the available Mesh here https://simviation.com/1/fs2004terrainmesh (Took me 2 WEEKS to download all this) WOW

 

I found I'ts work best to group them together and divide the Massive amount of Mesh into 6 Groups via Regional Sections.
