    Bora Bora ( NTTB ) watermask enhancement (compatible MSFS 2020 & 2024) - Image 1

    Description

    🚨Update note for MSFS 2024 :

    You can either use my Bora Bora watermask in MSFS 2020 or 2024. For MSFS 2024, Microsoft has now created watermasks all accross French Polynesia but they are fuzzy and they have erased all the coral patterns. I restablish them in my watermask that fits well with MSFS 2024.

    So just drop the file in your Community 2020 or 2024. If you use both sim, no need to copy it twice. Use Addon linker to link it for instance in your Community 2024. You can also add in the Community folder the boat libraries I indicated. They will replace by 3D boats all the boat footprints from the satellite picture.

    Enjoy !

    ***********

    Vous pouvez utiliser mon watermask Bora Bora dans MSFS 2020 ou 2024. Pour MSFS 2024, Microsoft a désormais créé des watermask pour toute la Polynésie française. Cependant, ils sont flous et ils ont effacé tous les motifs coralliens. Je les ai rétablis dans mon watermask qui s'adapte bien à MSFS 2024.

    Il suffit donc de déposer le fichier dans votre Community 2020 ou 2024. Si vous utilisez les deux sims, pas besoin de le copier deux fois. Utilisez Addon linker pour le lier par exemple dans votre Community 2024. Vous pouvez également ajouter dans le dossier Community les bibliothèques de bateaux que j'ai indiquées. Elles remplaceront par des bateaux 3D toutes les empreintes de bateaux de l'image satellite.

    Bon vol !

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Le World Update 13 "Oceania" de Microsoft/Asobo a ajouté à Bora Bora (NTTB) des objets 3D (aéroport, hôtels resorts avec bungalows sur pilotis, navette maritime Air Tahiti pour le transfert de l'aéroport vers Vaitape, etc.). Le WU13 a également créé un watermask montrant les couleurs nuancées du lagon. Etrangement cependant, ce watermask est partiel et imparfait puisque des pans entier du récif-barrière ont été effacés. 

    Je vous propose donc ici un mod permettant de rétablir l'intégralité du lagon de Bora Bora, tel qu'on peut le voir dans la vrai vie (je suis Polynésien, je sais de quoi je parle 😉). Les couleurs du lagon sont nuancées à cause des variations de profondeurs et les dégradés de bleu et de vert ne sont pas exagérément saturés par MSFS puisqu'ils sont ainsi IRL ! Le mod permet donc de voir tout le récif-barrière ceinturant l'île et délimitant le lagon, ainsi que les structures coralliennes du platier récifal visibles grâce aux eaux transparentes. J'ai rajouté également divers types de bateaux. Pour les voir, il faudra télécharger les librairies d'objets suivants :

    static-boat-3d-model-library (source : superspud)
    https://fr.flightsim.to/file/27907/static-boat-3d-model-library

    moving-boats-3d-model-library (source : superspud)
    https://fr.flightsim.to/file/27908/moving-boats-3d-model-library

    Mode d'emploi :
    - télécharger le mod "kohheiva-airport-nttb-bora-bora.zip"
    - copier et déziper ce fichier dans votre dossier Community
    - copier et déziper dans votre dossier Community les fichiers relatifs aux librairies "static-boat-3d-model-library" et "moving-boats-3d-model-library"
    - Le mod est compatible avec la scène de base de MSFS/Asobo pour NTTB puisqu'il ne fait que la compléter. Ne pas oublier toutefois de faire l'update optionnel de la WU13 "Oceania" à partir du gestionnaire de contenus de MSFS.


    Bienvenue et bon vol en Polynésie française !

    ----------------------------------------

    World Update 13 "Oceania" from Microsoft/Asobo added 3D objects to Bora Bora (NTTB) (airport, resort hotels with overwater bungalows, Air Tahiti maritime shuttle for the transfer from the airport to the main island, etc.). WU13 also created a watermask showing the nuanced colors of the lagoon. Strangely however, this watermask is partial and imperfect since entire sections of the barrier reef have been erased.

    I made a mod allowing you to restore the entire Bora Bora lagoon, as we can see it in real life (I'm Polynesian, I know what I'm talking about 😉). The colors of the lagoon are nuanced due to variations in depth and the gradients of blue and green are not overly saturated by MSFS since they are that way IRL! Now you can see the entire barrier reef surrounding the island and delimiting the lagoon, as well as the coral structures of the reef flat visible thanks to the transparent waters. I also added various types of boats. To see them, you will need to download the following object libraries:

    static-boat-3d-model-library (from superspud)
    https://fr.flightsim.to/file/27907/static-boat-3d-model-library

    moving-boats-3d-model-library (from superspud)
    https://fr.flightsim.to/file/27908/moving-boats-3d-model-library

    How to:
    - download the mod "kohheiva-airport-nttb-bora-bora.zip"
    - copy and unzip this file into your Community folder
    - copy and unzip into your Community folder the files relating to the "static-boat-3d-model-library" and "moving-boats-3d-model-library" libraries from supersprud
    - The mod is compatible with the scene of MSFS/Asobo for NTTB since it only completes it. However, do not forget to do the optional update of the WU13 "Oceania" from the MSFS content manager.


    Welcome and have a happy flight in French Polynesia !

    Thanks but for some reason I get flickering on the water on some parts. Quite annoying and makes this unuseable for me. Thats in MSFS2024.
    You can't see it in the picture but the whole water area that you can see in the picture is flickering. And another small part right next to the airport.
    Maybe you can have a look at it?

    Hello, switch your settings to enable DLSS antialiasing.

    Hi there - I tried your watermark enhancement together with the static and moving boat library. Just be informed as by today no boat is moving - everything is static. Maybe you can fix it maybe another SU broke it. Anyway - thank you for your effrots - it is held in high appreciation.

    Hello. Thanks for the feedback! I don't really remember which boats were static and which ones were moving! But I'm pretty sure I only put one or two moving boats at most. Indeed, the movements and paths of these boats weren't very spectacular and quite monotonous. So I didn't insist. On the other hand, since SU2 of MSFS 2024, the terrain has undergone changes and the watermasks are experiencing adjustment problems. I'll wait for MSFS to stabilize to correct the scene.

    Bonjour,
    J'ai un petit soucis avec MSFS2024, des zones que tu as modifiées flashent. Notamment dans le lagon à l'ouest. Ca pourrait venir de mon ordi parce que j'ai des problèmes similaires, mais pas identiques, ailleurs (sur l'herbe et les arbres) mais j'ai quand même l'impression que cette fois ça vient de ton add-on. Comme si il y avait un conflit de texture entre la mer de base et ce que tu as ajouté.

    En tout cas ça reste un plaisir de voler avec tes add-ons qui améliorent nettement le paysage polynésien.

    Ia ora na,
    Désolé pour la réponse tardive mais le site émet des notifications qui passent souvent inaperçues…
    Oui il y a un clignotement dans le lagon. Il est cependant léger et dans une zone sombre du lagon. Pas de gros flashes étincellants, donc acceptable. Malheureusement c'est un compromis à trouver. La surface de l'eau dans MSFS n'est malheureusement pas plate, ce qui provoque ce genre d'artefacts.

    Tu pourrais néanmoins essayer de changer ton setting en activant le DLSS de Nvidia. Te mettre en DX12 aussi. Mais je ne te garantis pas que cela fasse disparaître le clignotement.

    Bonne découverte de nos îles ! 👍

    Hello, I don't have Cli4D's payware. So I don't know if you can use it with mine. Happy flying 👍

    Yes it is compatible, but you will find changes in tree coverage, mainly on the mountain. Water looks very nice.

    I'm happy that you are happy with that 😊 You can add a little bit wind, so that you'll have the waves' effect. Have fun ! ✌️
