    SLOVAKIA 20m DEM - High Resolution Terrain Elevation Data from LIDAR Imaging - Image 1

    Description

    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!

    I have same problem as SilkomatFiles have, all the buildings in Kosice are gone and only satellite map is visible on the ground. Any idea how to fix it please? Thanks

    Fantastic addon. Kind of "overules" new Eastern european cities" official mode so beautiful Kosice photogrammetry is hidden. Is it possible to fix it?

    Thank you.

    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 :-)

    What about this? Isn't that the data you are looking for?

    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 :-)

    I am now a DEM addict as well.. would be nice for a fix on MT Everest..good job

    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.
