???? Product Details
This project does not include LOD optimization, as it is not required for this type of content. Instead, I performed a custom adaptation of default water bodies to ensure proper integration with the new terrain mesh.
????️ Data Sources and Tools
- DEM data is sourced from Sentinel-1, reprocessed and optimized for MSFS. - Mesh Technology: Proprietary, developed in-house,
✈️ Key Features
- 10-meter (1/3 arc sec) terrain mesh resolution, based on Sentinel-1 data, offering a dramatic improvement over default SRTM1 (30m) coverage.
- Water body adaptation: default lakes, shorelines, and coastal flats have been flattened and reshaped to match the new elevation model.
- Patch for SEGS Airport (San Cristóbal): default buildings obstructing runway 32 have been removed for better realism and usability.
- Optimized for VFR flying: to fully appreciate the terrain detail, it is recommended to fly below 500 feet AGL.
