Enhanced Terrain Mesh 10m for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Overview

This package delivers a high‑resolution 10‑meter terrain mesh for the entire territory of Israel, offering a dramatic improvement over the default MSFS2024 elevation data. Mountains, valleys, cliffs, wadis, and coastal formations gain accurate shape and depth, providing a far more immersive and realistic VFR experience.

Key Features

10‑meter (1/3 arc‑second) resolution mesh, based on Sentinel‑1 SAR data
Custom waterbody adaptation: lakes, shorelines, reservoirs, and coastal flats reshaped to match the new DEM
Helipad surfaces aligned to the 10‑meter grid
No LOD optimization required for this type of mesh
Zero performance impact thanks to efficient data processing
Optimized for VFR flying — best appreciated below 500 ft AGL

Technology & Data Sources

DEM/DTM: Sentinel‑1 SAR processed in SNAP13 for maximum accuracy
Mesh Technology: proprietary, developed in‑house
Hydrography adaptation: manual integration with MSFS2024 default water data

Why This Mesh

Significantly enhances the morphology of Israel’s terrain
Ideal for VFR, helicopter operations, bush flying, and training
Covers a region rarely improved by third‑party developers
Created by ItalianCharter Team – Gjanosh61, with over a decade of experience and thousands of downloads across the flight simulation community

Compatibility

Compatible with: MSFS 2024 only
Not compatible with MSFS 2020 (different SDK, different terrain system)
Works with all airport addons, photogrammetry, weather engines, and texture packs

Recommended Usage

For maximum visual fidelity, fly below 500 ft AGL, especially in mountainous and coastal regions.

Platform
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – SU5 or later
(Not compatible with MSFS2020 — different SDK and terrain system)

Recommended Hardware
These are not minimum requirements, but the configuration with which the product was developed and tested:

CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K or equivalent
RAM: 24 GB
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 with 12 GB VRAM

The mesh works properly even with lower-end hardware: MSFS2024 handles terrain streaming much more efficiently than previous versions.

ETM10m for Israel v2.1.0 – Improvements to LLER & LLOV

The new version v2.1.0 of ETM10m for Israel is now available on SimMarket and brings a major update to the LLER (Eilat Ramon) and LLOV (Ovda Airbase) airport areas, thanks to the targeted activation of the OLD Terraforming Method.

LLER – Eilat Ramon Airport
The Negev civil airport now benefits from terrain modeling that is more faithful and consistent with real-world topography.

Airport surfaces realigned with natural morphology
Corrected slopes on taxiways and aprons
Cleaner transitions between desert terrain and paved areas
Elimination of artifacts generated by modern flattening

The result is a more credible LLER, especially during ground operations and approach phases.

LLOV – Ovda Airbase
The Ovda military area has been completely remodeled to maximize the ETM10m mesh.

Complete remodeling of the airport terrain
Natural connections between taxiways, aprons, and desert areas
Improved consistency in slopes and depressions
Optimized access from Route 1101 via Route12 , now seamlessly integrated with the mesh

Perfect for military flights, missions, and for those who love to explore the Negev, even at ground level, with vehicles like the VAB Mephisto.

This first image shows LLER (Eilat Ramon) in the default MSFS 2024 scenario.
The obvious problem is the behavior of modern terraforming, which hasn’t been modeled perfectly. ETM10m fixes this.
