Reconstruction of the Hawaii islands elevations at 10 m resolution. This mod provide a sharper and crispier dem for the all the Hawaii. Is the first release of a new technique that can provide spectacular results. Light on frames rates; and reasonable stability with minimum morphing effect will provide relaxing and enjoyable flights over the Hawaii Islands. What Dem scenery do? In simple words; it enhance the terrain adding elevations posts points into the simulator to improve appearance and precision. Current Version: 1.4.
Changelog:
Version 1.1 Exclude airports area dem to ensure full compatibility with addons; avoiding terrain to become bumpy.
Version 1.2 Fixed minor artifacts and changed hawaii dem folder name to assign correct priority loading of dem into the simulator to allow airports addons to display correctly.
Version 1.3 Correction on Ohau terrain; 10 m data now only show where default Ohau high resolution lidar data is not available showing a low res terrain.
Version 1.4 Fixed all airports and airfields on all islands area bumps; fixed artifact on Lanai airport approach from the sea; excluded trees hanging of cliffs in front of Lanai airport; upgraded Lanai island resolution to 5 m.
I have used the opportunity to see the improvements of a new 10 DEM product and did testing.
It overall improves how the terrain looks in MSFS but unfortunately is not a finished product or raw product. Why?
1. If you fly from airports as PHHN, PHJJ, PHMK, PHNNY, PHPA where commercial products exist you will see the bumps on the runway, so all relevant airports should be excluded to conflict with DEM. There is a way in the tool how to exclude and for the next update hope this will be solved.
2. There are slaps of the sea on the shore and again this is something that can be checked and properly solved.
