Fuerteventura Scenery
This add-on replaces the default MSFS ground textures on Fuerteventura and Isla de Lobos 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” (14. 6 GB): high resolution, best ratio between sharpness of textures and file size – recommended for the majority of users
- Version “Premium” (24. 8 GB): ultra-high resolution at densely populated areas (see below) – re... This add-on replaces the default MSFS ground textures on Fuerteventura and Isla de Lobos 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” (14. 6 GB): high resolution, best ratio between sharpness of textures and file size – recommended for the majority of users
- Version “Premium” (24. 8 GB): ultra-high resolution at densely populated areas (see below) – recommended if you want to fly really low over cities and beaches
- Version “Premium Plus” (47. 9 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 Fuerteventura 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:
- Corralejo (town and dune landscape), Costa Calma, Las Playitas and Gran Tarajal
- along the coast from Puerto del Rosario to Las Salinas including the airport and golf clubs
- along the coast from Jandía to Morro Jable
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 airports 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 docks and thousands of hand-placed motorboats, sailboats, yachts, catamarans and ships to all ports on Fuerteventura
- added cranes to the cargo area of Puerto del Rosario
- placed one cruise ship with night lighting and a helipad that you can land on in Puerto del Rosario
- Enhanced Night Lighting
- added night lighting to all ports and piers
- hotel areas, pools, plazas, sports facilities, beach promenades, etc. are now illuminated at night
- added missing street lights in Morro Jable
- Appropriate Vegetation
- added palm trees and other typical vegetation to the cities
- replaced trees at Playa del Matorral with typical dune vegetation
- improved vegetation to match with the aerial imagery (e. g. bushes instead of trees in rocky areas)
- removed incorrectly placed trees along the coast
- Accurate Coastline
- changed the deep lake at Playa de Sotavento de Jandía to a lagoon
- 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
- Other Improvements
- added 5 lighthouses (World Update 3 has to be installed for them to be visible)
- removed large warehouses in hotel areas
- removed incorrectly placed buildings on top of fields, pools, sports facilities, etc.
Aerial imagery, mesh and scenery are put together as separate add-ons and can be used independently of one another.
Compatibility
This add-on is compatible with the airport for MSFS by MK-Studios (no changes to the files necessary anymore).
