With this higher terrain resolution (now very poor default), you get superior relief quality, like mountines, hills and sea coast.

Ciao, devo dire che dopo aver visto il resto delle alpi questa è una delle poche addon che tengo sempre quando volo in Italia. Ottimo lavoro ed è proprio quello di cui il sim ha bisogno... mi chiedevo se state lavorando ad altri aggiornamenti! Grazie per il lavoro!

Wonderfull idea and effot but i'm experiencing a lot of issues and glithces with snow terrain in the alps. Could you specify the settings to apply? I play with terrain to max, but LOD to 70 due to CPU bottleneck.

Great! Thank you!

le mesh sono più precise nell ultimo aggiornamento di MFS, rispetto al tuo.

Nice work ! It's possible to extend it to France ?

Thanks for sharing this. The result is great, makes a real difference.

improves the mountains only up close. From a distance the mountains by default are better. As you approach the mountains grow and rise with an ugly movement to see.

Thanks a lot for the update!
I (all European) would be glad if you possibly could also make this kind of great improvement for the rest of Europe (making use of the DEM25 defined by EU-DEM v1.1).

very nice project man! Any plans for some future work like the rest of Austria ?

Thanks a lot!
Finally the Gran Sasso (central Italy) begins to take its true shape! While waiting for the 10 meter solution, thanks again.

Definitely an improvement. Thank you. In many areas of the Northern Alps I have problems with textures though. Around Southern Bavaria and Tirol and Alto Adige the ground textures won't load properly or blink in and out of existence. Very disturbing. Has anyone reported something similar?
So far I haven't seen problems with airports like the Taburet version is supposed to have.
