| 06/21/21 VERSION 1.7.5: WU5 and OrbX Iceland Mesh Hotfix (Compatible with WU7)
This hotfix fixes some clipping with this addon and the OrbX mesh along with fixing some issues present in the OrbX mesh itself around Reykjavik.
ICELAND OVERHAUL
(Make sure you download the Nordics update pack from the In-App marketplace to get Asobo's higher version of hallgrímskirkja and Perlan. These have been removed from my addon so that they do not conlfict with what Asobo have added.)
This addon currently contains:
-
Numerious landscape fixes
-
Compatibility and some fixes for most Iceland Mesh addons
-
Proper Tree coverage to within a few percent of real life
-
195 unique structures including famous landmarks
-
Lighthouses and radio masts with working lights
-
Adds relevant ships and objects to ports in all costal cities
-
Animated sea life around Iceland's shores (Stick around the blue whales POI for a bit to see a show!)
The tree coverage fixes were based on a map that shows tree coverage of the country. The structures cover iconic and VFR landmarks such as Harpa, and the DC3 crash site along with many other buildings within Reykjavik and the rest of Iceland to bring it to life. There are multiple POI markers around the shores of northern Iceland where you can fly to see Orcas and Blue Whales!
Current list of structures includes the following and more: Reykjavík Cathedral, Harpa concert hall, Brautarholtskirkja, and the dc3 crash site, Fríkirkjan í Reykjavík, Landakotskirkja, The National Hospital, Reykjavik junior college, The House Cabinet, Reykjavík Art Museum Hafnarhús, Radisson Blu 1919 Hotel, Radisson Blu Saga Hotel, Hljómskálinn, the theater at Vonarstræti 3, and the old school at Laekjargata 14, City Hall, harbor lighthouses, Police HQ, pond bridge,Höfðatorg, Kjarvalsstadir Art Museum, the National Center for Cultural Heritage,Hofdi, the National Museum of Iceland, Gamla Bio, the National Library, the Volcano Museum in Stykkishólmur, and the Hellissandur longwave radio mast.
To download, just extract the folder into your community folder!
All model attributions are available in the download file.

Is this project still alive and compatible with the current SU9?
And still works with the free ORBX mesh?
jcoops
Is this compatible with the latest updates. SU9?

Your Iceland Overhaul makes for a unique flying experience, thank you ! Now I wonder if its this or another mod or the latest SU9 update, my sim now crashes when I get close enough to Reykjavik , from any angle, could you check to see if its possible with a recompile? It could be my old version of BIRK - version 1.6 Icesim EDIT: Now to be tested again since Asobo recognized some flaws... 😊 Thanks! And for those who read: I have given 5 stars but it won't show up ...

I'll take a look and see if I can recreate the issue on my end!

Flighsim always freezes at 64° 20' 45.08" N 21° 59' 51.14" W when departing straight north from BIRK (have swiched off all meshes)...Anayone got the same issue? Add: This problem also happens without this mod, does anyone have the same problem?
Baddweapon 1 year(s) ago
I've heard about this happening in the past as well, havent been able to recreate it with/without the mod. I'll take a look again and see if I can find anything.

If you have the Coastline glitch fix (Partial) mod installed, there are reported crashes caused by that mod, not the overhaul one.
spyloops
Hello , thx for your mod
But i experiment a strange bug i don t really know if it s from your mod but that happen only in Iceland
when i fly over Iceland , suddenly all the landscape and the sea disappear

Got the same issue, sometimes it helps to deactivate all meshes and delete the rollingcache.ccc and the content.xml But even then I got a freezing sim at pos. 64° 20' 45.08" N 21° 59' 51.14" W

Hi, I had the exact same issue. If you have the mappamundi-coast-fix addon, disable it. This is what fixed the issue for me.
DigFS
There seems to be no problem with the latest update SU5.
@Badweapon You should confirm it so that it appears as compatible.
rayharris51
I wish an SU5 update of this package could be released please..
Baddweapon 1 year(s) ago
It's compatible with SU5!
olivermiller
gorgious, but i don't have the cathedral????
Baddweapon 2 year(s) ago
I removed the version I had added in the last update since Asobo added their own model. Make sure you download the free Nordics pack in the in-game marketplace!
That will provide you with the new models from Asobo.
carlos
HI
I see in your pictures you have some of the landmarks modeled by Asobo in the most recent update (Nordics) Is there an update to remove these?
Is this product compatible with Keflavik from MK Studio?
Just prefer to ask before messing it up
Thanks
Baddweapon 2 year(s) ago
Yes! My most recent updated removed the models I had added for the cathedral and Perlan.

Thank you, because I enjoyed your work a lot, specially in the north. I played with the whales jeje

That would be a problem with the BIGR addon. Hopefully it is resolved in an update!

After the update 1-7-5 the POI's don't show up anymore on the World Map. What went wrong with my installation?
Baddweapon 2 year(s) ago
Could you try reinstalling the add-on to see if the issue still persists?
I have not been able to recreate it.
lexmirnov
Thanks for the mod. Also I'd like to report a bug -- some clipping in rocks near BIIA (Nordics and ORBX mesh also installed)
THartmann9374
Thanks for this mod. Will this make Iceland realistic looking?
