The Verdict: For 95% of simmers, FreemeshX 2.0 is indistinguishable from payware mesh at normal cruising altitudes (above 5,000 ft AGL). Only if you fly helicopters at treetop level in the French Alps do you need the ultra-high 10m resolution of payware. FreemeshX offers the best price-to-performance ratio in flight simulation history.
