MESSAGE FROM DEV:
Hello everyone, This mod and other photogram mod I have in this site are all free but unfortunately the file size are massive and its taking a toll on my storage. With my community folder and all the projects I'm currently working on at the moment, the storage left is finally giving me a headache. I'm now on the point where I have to decide which one to keep.
With this regard, any help and donations will be much appreciated. Good day and thank you to all who have donated already.
Cheers!,

Your scenery looks great, but why not use a LOD range like 17-20 or 18-21? Your tiles are only displaying a single LOD, 20 or 21 which is really hard on the system.
over 3 years ago
Yes they are.. I just didn't mention it. LOD18- 20 and LOD 19-21. And no I can't make it to that range due to me having problem of storage at the moment.

MESSAGE FROM DEV: I added a LOD20 version of part2. Please choose between the 2. Version 1 of part 2 is LOD21. Another file is also been added containing night lights and other fixes so its much smaller when updating in the future. Thank you and have a nice day.
By the way, I have a finish LOD21 in the port area. Let me know if you are interested and I will upload in the next build. Check the images in the gallery tab. Cheers.

What's new in 3.0? Did I catch it before you uploaded a changelog?
over 3 years ago
Having an error last night when uploading but its in the changelog tab and I edited the description.

Not 100% sure I understand the description, so basically:
Part 1 includes everything in LOD 20Part 2 includes replaces the red subsection with LOD 21, it's optionalover 3 years ago
no changes on part 1, the previous version contains a Vancouver(part1) with LOD20 and Vancouver part2 with LOD21 which causes some stutters to some, this version contains a part2 with LOD20. You can only choose one, depends on what works for you..
over 3 years ago
So if I want everything at LOD 20, I use both files in the 3.0 package.
By the way, I noticed that Science World has tress inside it, and it does this weird effect where you can see them on the inside as if it was transparent. This happens even with the default photogrammetry I think. Is it fixable with an exclusion polygon in that spot?
over 3 years ago
Sorry if I may not explain everything correctly. English is not my first language. The first versions V1 and V2 contains a mix LOD as seen in the screenshots and explain further in the description(which not maybe enough). "cli4d-vancouver" is LOD20 which is mainly in the city center. "cli4d-vancouver-part2" is outside the city as indicated by the red marker on the screenshot with LOD20. "cli4d-vancouver-part2-LOD20" is indicated by blue for those who have stutter problems with LOD21.
with regards to the trees, I will have to take a look at it again I thought I already put an exclusion polygon in that area, thanks for pointing it out.

Hey I'm sorry I realize now it was a misunderstanding on my part. I thought the LOD20 was the second part in the main download. I missed that there's a second file to download. Both work ok for me, the LOD20 looks good and there are no trees peaking out, I think I must have had that section of the scenery disabled when I was doing a test thinking it would only disable the LOD21 version. I'm sorry for the confusion!
I was also comparing Stanley Park on Google Maps and MSFS and the default buildings there are really bad. There's even a large building where the waterpark is! Since you already have a package in that area would you consider replacing some of the default buildings with more appropriate Asobo buildings that look more like real life? You mentioned the Google Photogrammetry in Stanley Park wasn't good so you didn't use it. I also see that Stanley park is missing a large area of trees for some reasons in the middle, they could be added.

I will see what I can do this coming week. I'm still finishing some other project but hopefully my schedule will be better in the coming days.
