Description
Experience Iceland
This mod contains customized height profiles. The mod contains high definition LIDAR DEM data and other height profiles with a mesh resolution of 20m.
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. 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.
Credits
The elevation data used was a LIDAR 20m height profile and other height profiles compiled by Sonny (https://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-europe)
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!
Thanks Troglodytus for you help!
Enjoy your VFR flights above Iceland!

Thanks for your work. The bad thing is that the simulator is not optimized to use terraforming rectangles for a complete country. Maybe sometimes it works. 😁

you really should not say this is Lidar data, as I have pointed out to you, it's photogrametry data,

This is a free mod no one have to pay a cent for it. I dont get why this is so important for you and as you said it has also lidar data in it. So it is not 100% wrong. But for you i changed the description and the headline ;)

It's actually caused by "ZINERTEK enhanced airport graphics", an add-on thats is sold through the simulator's own store... bizarre bizarre :D

if you want to add solid elevation data, here is an official DEM from the Icelandic Geological Survey: https://gatt.lmi.is/geonetwork/srv/api/records/e6712430-a63c-4ae5-9158-c89d16da6361

For info many "pikes" in south, near Vestmann Island for example.
Generally it is near water. Some weird mount of water too in the ocean.

I created a new version of the DTM this scenery is based on. Lots of elevation artefacts ("spikes") within the source data got removed:
