I bought 2 original products from eBay sellers, Just Flight's FS Global and FS Terrain.

What is the difference? Do I install only one? Which one?

Try it and see what happens

Do you think that the European terrain in both products will be the same?
(however the FSTerrain is also USA, Alaska, Hawaii)

If so, I may as well sell the European one.

I recommand that you install FS Global 2005, this 12.6 GB package covers the whole world, its the same 76 meter resolution mesh terrain as other sectional terrain packages.......one for all....

Thanks, I'll do that.

In a related question, I read that with the 9.1 patch the resolution could be increased. Does anyone think this would apply to m and how do I go about it?

There will be absolutely no difference because they both made the scenery using the same information supplied by NASA.

Thanks JVD, I'll put the FSTerrain back on eBay then.

Again, the 9.1 patch has support for 19 meter digital elevation data. Does the FSGlobal support this out-of-the-box?

the resolution is variable in FSGlobal05, in some extremely rugged terrains (not too many). Yes it does support....But you dont come across these terrains too often in the simulation.....
