Experience Slovakia!
From Bratislava to the Tatry Mountains
This mod contains customized height profiles for Slovakia. The mod contains high definition LIDAR DEM data with a mesh resolution of 20m. 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.
IMPORTANT
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 Slovakia. 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.
Affected Sceneries
Please report any bugs with sceneries or airports and I will see what I can do!
Credits
The elevation data used was a LIDAR 20m height profile of Slovakia compiled by Sonny (http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-slovakia/resource/5a303661-fb60-42ca-96dc-9c651f0aafc4)
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 Slovakia!

Hi, thank you for your work. I really like the 20m Slovak net. It's really kind of a game changer when it comes to this part of Europe. As a Pole, I really appreciate the opportunity to fly over the more realistic Tatra Mountains. At least some of them 😉 Is there a chance for a similar thread about Polish lands?
Cheers!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Unfortunately I did not find any detailed (and freely available) LIDAR imaging for Poland yet. Maybe someday :-)

After the WU7 simulator is being cutting. After uninstalling DEM Slovakia the simulator runs without problems and smoothly. Any idea? Do I need to change anything in the settings? This scenery is very nice and I wouldn't want to lose it. Thank you.

Thank you so much and very sorry for the late response. Seems like I just missed your comment!
Yes, Asobo changed some internal ways the meshes / earths geometry is being handled - making terraforming rectangles less responsive and causing stutters and lags. Thus I do not recommend the usage of DEM mods at the moment if you are not having a high end PC.
Maybe something will change in the future. My mesh mods will still be available though for those people who just want the extra features :-)

Mikeaat already tried. The available data is no improvment to the current situation.
If I am informed correctly the Nepali government is creating LIDAR data right now that will be published in a few years.

hello, thank you for your work, and is there a chance to focus on Poland?

Czesc , I was curious how Tatras looks from the polish side after Slovakia DEm 20 and of course needs improvement. Also a whole range of mountains of Beskyds on our common border. I have found that open data are available for Poland according https://www.opendem.info/opendemsearcher.html ,but it is not easy to find them and download as GeoTIFF . I think you as polish native could do it easily and Troglydus can then process the data . If not I can try it because tools are available.

Thank you for this mod. Good work! This is not landmarks. Can you move this mod to the landscape category please? 😉

Hello, thank you for that observation, I must have clicked on the wrong category as they are right besides in the dropdown menu.
Should be corrected now!

1.I can see the High Tatras from my window and I can confirm that regarding terrain it very good improvement and peaks got a more real shape. Not only the High Tatras but also Low Tatras and other mountains in Slovakia. Big thanks for that. 2. When you start a flight from LZTT Poprad Tatry airport and flying to the east to LZKZ Kosice I observe on the far distance a wall and also on the south. 3. Now I have all your sceneries of terrain installed but FPS substantially goes down. When I have installed your first Austria DEM 10 it was OK ,but adding more sceneries FPS goes down. I have observed that yesterday flying around Salzburg. I will elaborate and install only one or a maximum of 2 sceneries to see the impact.

Thank you for your comment! Glad you like the improvement!
Do you have the Salzburg payware airport installed?
Because especially in Salzburg the framedrop does not make sense, since I have excluded all of Salzburg.
Do you have any coordinates available for the "wall" near Kosice you experienced? So I can take a look at it.

Thank you very much for the great elevation models. I already have DEM 10 in Austria, DEM 20 in Slovenia and DEM 20 in Switzerland installed.
Today I will install 20 DEM in the German Alps, 20 DEM in the Italian Alps and 20 DEM in Slovakia!
If you could hope for anything, then the rest of Italy and even the Canary Islands (this should be within 10 m).
It’s great that Troglodytus makes these add-ons a lot!
