LANZAROTE SCENERY MSFS

This add-on replaces the default MSFS ground textures on Lanzarote, La Graciosa, Isla de Montaña Clara and Isla de Alegranza with custom high-resolution color-corrected aerial imagery. It also improves the scenery in several ways and includes optional mesh.

1. Aerial Imagery

• Version “Standard” (8.87 GB): high resolution, best ratio between sharpness of textures and file size – recommended for the majority of users
• Version "Premium" (18.5 GB): high resolution and ultra-high resolution at densely populated areas (see below) – recommended if you want to fly really low over cities and beaches
• Version “Premium Plus” (31.8 GB): very high resolution and ultra-high resolution at densely populated areas (see below) – recommended for the absolute best experience
• Improvements over the default MSFS ground textures include:
  • realistic manual color correction that brings Lanzarote 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 (depending on the version used)
• Ultra-high resolution areas of the "Premium" and "Premium Plus" versions:
  • along the coast from Costa Teguise to Puerto del Carmen including Arrecife and the airport
  • the whole populated area around Playa Blanca

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

2. Mesh (DEM)

• 3 versions with resolutions of 2 m, 4 m and 10 m – you choose the best for your hardware and graphics settings
• Mesh for the airport is included and has been adjusted to eliminate bumps on the ground
• Please note: This mesh is an experimental feature. While scenery and textures are very FPS friendly, this mesh uses more hardware resources, especially the 2 m version. All of the above screenshots were taken with the 2 m mesh add-on.

3. Scenery

• Upgraded Ports
  • added 3D docks and thousands of hand-placed 3D motorboats, sailboats, yachts, catamarans and ships to all ports on Lanzarote
  • added cranes to the cargo area of Arrecife's port
  • placed one cruise ship with night lighting and a helipad that you can land on in the Port of Arrecife
• Enhanced Night Lighting
  • added night lighting to all ports and piers
  • increased the density of night lighting in all cities
  • hotel pools, plazas, sports facilities, etc. are now illuminated at night
• Appropriate Vegetation
  • added palm trees and other typical vegetation to all cities
  • improved vegetation to match with the aerial imagery (e.g. no trees on the lava landscape)
  • removed incorrectly placed trees along the coast
• Accurate Coastline
  • applied a custom water mask to match the course of the simulator's ocean water with the coastline on the aerial imagery
  • beaches, islets, sandbars and other parts of the coast that were partly underwater are now completely visible giving the coastline a more defined look
  • improved visibility of the shallow water areas at Playa Caleton Blanco
• Other Improvements
  • removed large warehouses in hotel areas
  • removed incorrectly placed buildings on top of fields, pools, sports facilities, etc.
  • fixed an elevation issue at El Lago Verde

Aerial imagery, mesh and scenery are put together as separate add-ons and can be used independently of one another.
