    Description

    06/21/21 VERSION 1.7.5: WU5 and OrbX Iceland Mesh Hotfix (Compatible with WU7)

    This hotfix fixes some clipping with this addon and the OrbX mesh along with fixing some issues present in the OrbX mesh itself around Reykjavik.

    ICELAND OVERHAUL

    (Make sure you download the Nordics update pack from the In-App marketplace to get Asobo's higher version of hallgrímskirkja and Perlan. These have been removed from my addon so that they do not conlfict with what Asobo have added.)
    This addon currently contains:

    • Numerious landscape fixes

    • Compatibility and some fixes for most Iceland Mesh addons

    • Proper Tree coverage to within a few percent of real life

    • 195 unique structures including famous landmarks

    • Lighthouses and radio masts with working lights

    • Adds relevant ships and objects to ports in all costal cities

    • Animated sea life around Iceland's shores (Stick around the blue whales POI for a bit to see a show!)


    The tree coverage fixes were based on a map that shows tree coverage of the country. The structures cover iconic and VFR landmarks such as Harpa, and the DC3 crash site along with many other buildings within Reykjavik and the rest of Iceland to bring it to life. There are multiple POI markers around the shores of northern Iceland where you can fly to see Orcas and Blue Whales!

    Current list of structures includes the following and more: Reykjavík Cathedral, Harpa concert hall, Brautarholtskirkja, and the dc3 crash site, Fríkirkjan í Reykjavík, Landakotskirkja, The National Hospital, Reykjavik junior college, The House Cabinet, Reykjavík Art Museum Hafnarhús, Radisson Blu 1919 Hotel, Radisson Blu Saga Hotel, Hljómskálinn, the theater at Vonarstræti 3, and the old school at Laekjargata 14, City Hall, harbor lighthouses, Police HQ, pond bridge,Höfðatorg, Kjarvalsstadir Art Museum, the National Center for Cultural Heritage,Hofdi, the National Museum of Iceland, Gamla Bio, the National Library, the Volcano Museum in Stykkishólmur, and the Hellissandur longwave radio mast.

    Big improvement for the sim, thank you!

    For anyone wondering, it seems to work fine without issues in MSFS2024 SU2

    Sir
    Any chance for an update for MSFS 2024 ?
    It feels so odd not seeing Perlan when approaching Reykjavik airport (it is just a photo on the ground) and I miss Harpan and the other buildings as well. An update for at least the Reykjavik area would be immensly appreciated :)

    I use this addon after WU15 and it seems to work just fine ! I thought I had installed Orbx Iceland Mesh but hmm seems like I do NOT....maybe the WU15 did a great job on new mesh since it looks fantastic! Very impressed but it might not hurt to have this package recompiled ? I am not the expert there... this is a MUST HAVE package ...Iceland becomes alive with this addon ! :) Thank you ! Tusen Takk !

    How is it working with sim update 12? Has anyone tried it? Great work, btw.

    Is this project still alive and compatible with the current SU9?

    And still works with the free ORBX mesh?

    almost 4 years ago

    Is this compatible with the latest updates. SU9?

    about 4 years ago

    Your Iceland Overhaul makes for a unique flying experience, thank you ! Now I wonder if its this or another mod or the latest SU9 update, my sim now crashes when I get close enough to Reykjavik , from any angle, could you check to see if its possible with a recompile? It could be my old version of BIRK - version 1.6 Icesim EDIT: Now to be tested again since Asobo recognized some flaws... :) Thanks! And for those who read: I have given 5 stars but it won't show up ...

    about 4 years ago

    I'll take a look and see if I can recreate the issue on my end!

    about 4 years ago

    its happening in the vanilla stock sim without the mod too and was discovered during beta:

    (I was over here getting the link to this to share with others who are flying in iceland from the above link when I noticed this comment)

    OK thanks ! That means I wait for Asobo to fix it :) I just Love Reykjavik you see, cant wait to see the town again, Just love how you made this addon with all the landmarks and the street...Laugavegur I think, what a great place, :D Cheers!
