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

    Description

    Experience the Pyrénées!

    This mod contains customized height profiles for the Pyrenees mountain range. The affected area contains Spanish and Andorran territory. The French part has been removed from the package due to the generic mesh being as good or better than the mod.

    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

    Not sure why flightsim is naming the downloads so strangely, here is the deal:

    • Main file: Pyrenees of Spain/Andorra
    • Secondary file: Pyrenees of Spain/Andorra/France

    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 Switzerland. 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

    As it stands none are known!
    Please report any bugs with sceneries or airports and I will see what I can do!

    Installation

    Simply unzip the downloaded folders and copy them into your community folder!

    The elevation data used was a LIDAR 20m height profile of Spain, Andorra compiled by Sonny (https://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-spain/resource/38816df0-9d50-476f-832e-0f7f5fa21771)
    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 the Pyrenees!

    Vielen Dank für ihre Arbeit.

    Beim Flugplatz LECD (La Cerdanya) gibt es ein Problem. Die Start-/Landebahn ist auf zwei verschiedenen Höhen. Wenn ich ihr Mesh deaktiviere, ist alles o.k.

    Können sie das korrigieren?

    Freundliche Grüsse

    PS. Entschuldigung, habe soeben festgestellt, dass dieses Problem schon vor einiger Zeit durch John_Fields gemeldet wurde.

    I can confirm that the threshold area of Runway 07 at LECD has a strange step in it when running this mesh. Other than that, it is fantastic.

    I am a lost :)


    You wrote :

    1.1 (main file) contains the spanish/andorran area of the pyrenees.

    1.2 (secondary file) contains all parts (french/spanish/andorran)


    But Main file is 1.2 now (despite when downloading it is named 1.1 version...)

    So there are actually two files available 1.2 (1.1 ?) and 1.0


    I think the actual main 1.2 224 Mo file is the "right last version" (i.e. last version without French part ). Is it right ?


    By the way many thanks for your amazing work on this area and many other ones

    Thank you for your comment. I am very sorry about this mess, It's crazy, that flightsim does not let you rename the files and their versions as you please... its actually simple:

    Main File: Spain/Andorra

    Secondary File: Spain/Andorry/France

    ..thus the bigger file size on the secondary download, because its the larger region.

    Dont let the versions confuse you please.

    Many thanks for your answer. Now clear for me. Sorry for the inconvenience. Got the same problem with the versions of my f-BMZE livery for the DR250 (ended deleting all the previous to upload the only the last one) so I understand perfectly your problem...

    Kind regards and thanks again for your work (just ended downloading Austria 10 m :) )

    Yeah, no that is my fault. I am sorry for the confusing download titles. Flightsim.to doesn't really let me rename them. Sorry

    yeah, its a mess. flightsim does not let me name the downloads as I want to, they still show some old versions and I don't know why.

    Basically: Main file: Spain/Andorra

    Secondary file: Spain/Andorra/France


    I have updated the description as well now.
