Description
This mod contains customized height profiles for Slovenia. The mod contains high definition LIDAR DEM data with a mesh resolution of 20m, whereas the MSFS uses a lateral resolution of about 50m or worse. The height resolution is as good as 0.1m.
The mod does not only provide mountain shapes being very close to reality, but also flattens lakes & rivers and gets rid of any terrain artifacts.
Disclaimer: The creator of this mod is not responsible for any problems, damage, incompatibilites to other mods or performance issues that might occur.
Please note, that this mod is a very high resolution mesh covering the whole of Slovenia. The elevation data is applied through terraforming rectangles, thus loaded at a certain distance from the player. When travelling fast or at high alitude (wide range of view) there might be too many new rectangles loaded simultaneously and thus stutters might occur.
If you have any stutters you can try and reduce your ingame render settings or uninstall!
If you are mainly flying airliners in high altitude, there is probably no benefit for you in using this mod.
Please report any bugs with sceneries or airport and I will see what I can do!
If you use the Austria DEM as well, you can rename the folder "troglodytus-demslovenia..." into "aaa-troglodytus-demslovenia". This way in overlapping regions the higher quality Austrian mesh will be used.

The elevation data used was a LIDAR 20m height profile of Slovenia compiled by Sonny (http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/8a4b923d-8738-4d62-8a76-70027d2ad1c7)
It was then transfered into MSFS using MSFS Toolkit by Nool Aerosystems (https://msfs.nool.ee/)
Thank you both and for anyone reading this: Please go ahead and support them!
Enjoy your VFR flights above Slovenia!

Hello.
Something is wrong. I'm getting mountains in shapes or "boxes" or "stairs"

It seems that this great DEM update causes issues with latest World Update (Jan'22), namely it casues constant stuttering to the point the game is unplayable, both in VR and 2D. Removing the DEM brings game back to full FPS. Can you do something about it? Thanks!

Confirming that this is a problem, in current state unusable. Same for Italian Alps DEM. Any idea what is going on @Troglodytus?

Note to all, it seems DEM stuttering issues have been fixed with the latest US World Update.

could you also release some mesh (10m if possible) for Croatia? That's probably one of the most beautiful countries in EU. Sea and mountains next to one another.

Hi! Already wanted to do that, but have not found any good data yet. Maybe some time in the future!°

Troglodytus a little while ago we talked about the issue of resolutions that could not be less than 10 m , just to give you information x if you can help in sim market have uploaded island canary to 5 m dem I pass you the video and link, that if the file size is 56.3 gb hahahaah
understand that the latter for the moment makes it unfeasible , we would need a way to compress those files

Thank you, but I think the UK got some really detailed mesh data by Asobo on WU3?!

hey, awesome work with the DEMs, but this one has a problem with an airport scenery that I am using : https://flightsim.to/file/8718/ljlj-ljubljana-airport-slovenia
I can't really taxi to the runway since the taxiways are acting weird :D
