• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

DEM data for Jersey island?

ok I've looked. There doesnt appear to be any freeware mesh around and the 10m commercially available mesh doesn't cover the channel islands.

Looking through some of the mapping companies, I've found the following:

JerseyDEMavailability_zps2757c5d6.jpg


Obviously the base elevation data hasn't been captured for the Channel Islands.

I've enquired about tasking a satellite to acquire the data, but the likely costs of that were quoted at between $6,000 and $10,000!!

Does anyone have any suggestions about where else I could get some elevation data to create a reasonable quality mesh please?

Thanks

EDIT: have found that the Jersey authorities have all the rights to the data and sell it here => http://www.digimap.je/datasets
Photo imagery and data sets inc 5m elevation data for £3,500...at that price it would have to be payware :( but even at £15 it would need to sell 234 copies to just break even - I wonder what the potential demand for Jersey might be? :s
