El Hierro Scenery
This add-on replaces the default MSFS ground textures on El Hierro with custom high-resolution color-corrected aerial imagery. It also improves the scenery in several ways and includes optional mesh.
1. Aerial Imagery
- Version “Premium” (6. 76 GB): very high resolution, best ratio between sharpness of textures and file size – recommended for the majority of users
- Version “Premium Plus” (22 GB): ultra-high resolution – recommended for the absolute best experience

1. Aerial Imagery
- Version “Premium” (6. 76 GB): very high resolution, best ratio between sharpness of textures and file size – recommended for the majority of users
- Version “Premium Plus” (22 GB): ultra-high resolution – recommended for the absolute best experience
- Improvements over the default MSFS ground textures include:
- realistic manual color correction that brings El Hierro 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
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 without the mesh add-on.
Aerial imagery and mesh are put together as separate add-ons and can be used independently of one another.
3. Scenery improvements:
- added 3D docks and more than 25 hand-placed 3D boats, ships and one cruise ship to the ports
- added windsocks at the airport next to the runway
- added POI markers for 3 landmarks and one city
- removed incorrectly placed trees along the coast and one incorrect river
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.
