Experience the German Alps!
This mod contains customized height profiles for the German Alps. The mod contains high definition LIDAR DEM data with a mesh resolution of 20m, whereas the MSFS uses a lateral resolution of about 50m or worse. The height resolution is as good as 0.1m. I tried to compile the whole German DEM, but the filesizes where to big to compile. Maybe I will do a DEM broken down into the German Sub-States at a later point.
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.
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 a large area of southern Germany. The elevation data is applied through terraforming rectangles, thus loaded at a certain distance from the player. When travelling fast or at high alitude (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
Any large Payware and Freeware Airport I could think of, has been excluded from the mesh. So hopefully the glitches will be minimal.
Please report any bugs with sceneries or airports and I will see what I can do!
Credits
The elevation data used was a LIDAR 20m height profile of Germany compiled by Sonny (http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/6cc1f714-dff8-415e-8655-11b4e462ea52)
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!
Enjoy your VFR flights above the German Alps!

I realized that with one of the recent MSFS updates quite some stutter had been introduced with either this addon or the Swiss or Austrian variant.

Thank you for your comment. Indeed, all DEMs are currently compromised. I am puzzled for the reason though and working on a fix.

Hallo
ich nutze die Alpen Meshes regelmäßig weil es die Darstellung der Alpen m.E. erheblich verbessert und möchte mich dafür bedanken. Leider gibt es ein Problem mit den Aersoft Bavarian Airfields und zwar bei Kempten. Dort bildet sich (nur wenn ich das Mesh benutze) ein ca. 2 m hoher jedenfalls für Flugzeuge unüberwindlicher Absatz im Bereich des Vorfeldes. Es wäre schön wenn man das Problem lösen könnte. Ich habe Aerosoft auch darüber informiert.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Vielen Dank für die Mitteilung. Leider war es mir nicht möglich von Vornherein alle Flugplätze auszusparen und einzeln zu bearbeiten, ich werde das aber nachliefern, sobald ich die Zeit dafür finde!

When are you planning to do the rest of Germany? Not every area got new dem with the world update. Especially the south is very mountainous and therefore pretty important. Please man you are my only hope to get good dem for these areas.

to the left, this 20m DEM, to the right, the alps after world update 6.
As you can see, this 20m DEM from Troglodytus is still relevant and important.
In case u wondered..

Thank you very much! There is still an update incoming, for the DEMs, to exclude new photogrammetry areas.

Awesome addon. Worked great until now.
Unfortunately with the latest sim update I have the issue that the photogrametry in Munich is broken when I have this addon installed. That’s a real shame.
Anyone else with this issue?

Excuse my lack of knowledge but I was wondering if anyone would have a flight plan so I could enjoy this scenery. I don't want to do a point A to point B flight and only see a little bit. Thank you

Hallo/Hello! first of all thanks for all your great scenery stuff! excellent work!
unfortunately i have the following issue which has may be discussed previously, but havent found a solution for "border issues".
if i have both the austria-salzburg DEM and the german-alps DEM installed, there are artifacts north of salzburg (LOWS) airport (undefined steep sharp hills/mountains in regions where there are actually no hills or mountains in reallife). if i run either austria DEM -OR- the german DEM, everything is fine. the issue just occurs when there are both DEMs. i tried to put "z" in front of the austria DEM folder in order to load it after the german DEM, and therefor give the austria DEM a higher priority, but this does not work.
any hints appreciated. thanks

Can you fix the elevation points for EDNL with this mod installed?

For example, when I look at the grass taxiways after installing the DEM package, they are no longer leveled like in real. 😊
Would be nice!

That airfield should already be excluded, asI excluded all payware airfieldy available in that region.
will doublecheck though.

These are absolutely brilliant! I love the work y'all are doing! Are you guys going to venture into the United States by chance? I would love to see the Rocky Mountains in Colorado up to Montana given some love!

Thanks very much! I honestly believe that the US have one of the most detailed meshes to date. Ever since World Update 2, Asobo have updated the data. Non the less, eventually I'd like to update the Rockies, lets see!

Really great! Now our mountains look like they really are and the "Obersee" is finally at the right level.

I really think they are better now since WU4, however, an upgrade from my side will be coming soon.
