Experience Vancouver Island!
This mod contains customized height profiles for Vancouver Island, an island in British Columbia, Canada. The mod contains high definition LIDAR DEM data with a mesh resolution of 15m. The height resolution is as good as 0.1m.
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. It also already includes most airports excluded from height modification.
INSTALLATION
PLEASE NOTE: This mod has 3 download options. The default option is just the northern portion of the island. Option 2 is just the southern portion of the island. Option 3 is both the northern and southern portions of the island. I split it up this way because in World Update 2, Microsoft enhanced some of the elevation maps for the southern portion of the island. So the default mesh may be higher resolution than the mod, or cause weird issues. In my testing, I didn't find any issues and the mod resolution did seem to improve the scenery.
Whichever option you choose, choose only 1. If you decide to switch, just delete the mod from the community folder and add the new option.
Just unzip the downloaded file and place the unzipped file into your community file.
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 high resolution mesh covering Vancouver Island. The elevation data is applied through terraforming rectangles, thus loaded at a certain distance from the player. When travelling fast or at high altitude (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.
Affected Sceneries
Please report any bugs with sceneries or airports and I will see what I can do!
Credits
The elevation data used was a LIDAR 15m height profile of Vancouver Island from the government of Canada (https://maps.canada.ca/czs/index-en.html). Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
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!
Thank you Troglodytus for your help!
Enjoy your VFR flights above Vancouver Island!
