This add-on replaces the default MSFS ground textures on Gran Canaria with custom high-resolution color-corrected aerial imagery. It also improves the scenery in several ways.

You will get the following versions:

• Version “Standard” (13.4 GB): high resolution – best ratio between sharpness of textures and file size
• Version "Premium" (36.6 GB): very high resolution – recommended for the majority of users
• Version “Premium Plus” (55.4 GB): very high resolution and ultra-high resolution at densely populated areas (see below) – recommended for the absolute best experience

You can decide which one you would like to download and use. You can switch between versions anytime.

Ultra-high resolution areas:

• the whole east coast including Las Palmas, Telde, Vecindario and both airports (Gran Canaria & El Berriel)
• the whole south coast including Maspalomas, Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria and Puerto de Mogán

Improvements of all versions over the default MSFS aerial imagery include:

• realistic manual color correction that brings Gran Canaria to life
• sharper image with more visible details (e.g. rock structure)
• no green tint, especially no green roads and no green sand
• no clouds visible on the ground
• higher resolution in certain areas

Scenery improvements (included in all versions):

• removed hundreds of incorrectly placed buildings (on top of fields, pools, sports facilities, greenhouses ...)
• removed incorrectly placed trees along the coast
• removed incorrect rivers
• improvements to the vegetation:
  • added palm trees and other typical vegetation to coastal cities
  • replaced trees at Maspalomas dunes with typical dune vegetation
  • replaced deciduous trees in the center of the island with pine trees
  • general changes to match with the aerial imagery (e.g. bushes instead of trees in rocky areas)
• added POI markers for 4 landmarks and 5 cities
• added a few large ships to the Puerto de la Luz (more boats and ships to be added with future updates)

The Issue With Default Ground Textures

As you might have noticed, the standard ground textures in the MSFS are not realistic in some areas. The most prominent issue is the green tint that especially drier regions with less vegetation suffer from. There are green roads and clouds on the ground all over the world.

Our Solution

Understandably, Asobo Studios cannot give every part of the world in MSFS the attention it deserves. That is why we create next-level ground textures for regions with incredible landscapes like the Canary Islands. The Canary Islands are a very popular holiday destination in Spain. Visitors can enjoy beautiful beaches, high mountains, volcanos and both forests and desert-like landscapes.
