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.

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 2 month(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.

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.

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 4 month(s) ago
It's compatible with SU5!

gorgious, but i don't have the cathedral????
Baddweapon 6 month(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.

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 6 month(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 6 month(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?
archibalduk
Should I use the Iceland Overhaul as well as the Orbx mesh or should I just use one or the other? Apologies for the silly question; I just didn't want to install the Orbx mesh if it doesn't do anything which the Overhaul mod already does.
Baddweapon 7 month(s) ago
You can use both! This add on is fully compatible with it as of my last update!
archibalduk 7 month(s) ago
Great! Thank you for your excellent work!

Thank you so much for the WU5 compatible update of this fantastic mod, very much appreciated 😊
Honza
Hi. Thank you for the opportunity to download your amazing work. I installed the scenery DEM 20m, Grimsey and Iceland rock before. You wrote that these scenarios are part of the Overhaul package. Is it necessary to uninstall previous scenarios? Thanks for the reply or other idea.
Baddweapon 7 month(s) ago
Those mods are separate from the overhaul! For the overhaul you should only have the latest version installed.
Honza 7 month(s) ago
Thanlk your very much.

hmm... I got Perlan now half burried under the ground. I have ORBX mesh, but it was fine before. And also there is a big bump where Hallgrímskirkja is.
Update: I have tried to remove the Iceland Overhaul, and Perlan got fixed. But it's seems Hallgrímskirkja bump is either the issue of Asobo or ORBX mesh. I am too lazy to check it. 😊 If you will make it compatible can you remove that fake Hallgrímskirkja hill as well?
Baddweapon 7 month(s) ago
I'll check it out!
Baddweapon 7 month(s) ago
Fixed in the most recent update!
Maxest 7 month(s) ago
Thank you so much for the fixes! It works great now and looks much more realistic
Maxest 7 month(s) ago
Oh no.. it seems that the bump of Hallgrímskirkja is back after the ORBX mesh update.
Baddweapon 7 month(s) ago
Ah damn, guess I'll have to mess with it again haha.
