Think I understand the meshtool latest beta readme re: inclusion of line in meshscript.txt, but what do I need to do to prepare the ingredient. Won't show up in xplane when I just reference the filename in the meshscript. Do I need .ter files as well?

Would it be possible for the community to suggest certain airports where higher poly counts are needed for reasonable use. For example, TFFJ–but not just the airport. The downwind approach, through the mountains with a 120 degree turn to base as well.

If so…it took 3 days on 3 computers last time. I am hoping for less than 3 days on one (8 core) computer this time but we will see.
