@baddweapon

I will try to keep updating this as well until an official fix is out.

Greatly appreciate all your hard work!

[BlurryRobin2395]

how do you do this please ?

[DORRAGER]

I can work out how to fix water hills but I can’t seem to understand how to save the project correctly and then get it into the sim after.

The compiling an airport section shows how to build the package! It is the same process to build for any project.

Introduction to MSFS SDK (scenery)

The main tool you’ll need is the polygon/rectangle objects available in the SDK. You can mess with the properties section once you place them down to do quiet a bit of different things! This should be a decent enough guide to get started, Just need to download the SDK from within the game. You can do this by enabling developer mode in the options menu, clicking help on the new toolbar up top, and clicking SDK Installer. If you have any specific questions along the way lemme know!

I have these files after creating and saving my scenery edits of the River Thames I don’t know if I have done that right and if I have, I don’t know what files need moving to the community folder to see the changes in the sim.
After downloading your file I definitely haven’t done it right. Will have a better look tomorrow way past my bedtime lol
Saving the changes seems the hardest part lol

Shot ya a message!

[BlurryRobin2395]

thank you will try , Im creating 3d scenery and this 'll help

[BlurryRobin2395]

Look like your missing the package folder , maybe try rebuild your package, also dont do this in your sample scenery folder as this one serve as a template when creating

[Baddweapon1116]

New update!

[DORRAGER]

Yeah I was doing it wrong cos i was trying to follow the guide but couldn’t seem to work it out after alot of patience by @baddweapon I finally learnt how to do it once i feel comfortable that i really know what im doing I will help others or possibly make a YouTube video.

Oh dear editing is addictive We been given 2 games in one here.
Currently smoothing all the main parts of the River Thames what a mess it was.
Little more levelling to do then I will move on to unmasking all the hidden gems hiding under the water.

Thx m8 awesome package

[SilverDart83885]

Thanks for this collection of fixes,

Awesome work, I flew around Iceland today and it looked very good.

I did have a little surprise at Vatnsness (BIFA)

I turned the plane around instead of risking that launch

Vatnajökull National Park lacks detailed data on Bing I guess?

Very clear transition in detail. There were a lot of cracks there as well (hall of mirrors effect)

Back down the detail returned and it was glorious

Thanks for the great work!

[Baddweapon1116]

Thanks!
Yeah theres a few airports that have strange runways and thresholds. Those changes for now would require some more detailed airport tweaking and I’m going to try to do that as it’s own update.

A lot of the inland areas definitely dont have good map data currently! Fixing something like that is still a learning process for me.

[DerZeitgeist351]

Thank you so much for this!

I loved flying over Iceland back in P3D with the OrbX scenery ever since I’ve visited the place in real life 10 years ago.

Now that I’m starting my round-the-world trip and my Donegal-Iceland leg is coming up, your fix came just at the right time!

[Baddweapon1116]

Updated again

[V2disp3lda]

Hello baddweapon,

Thank you again for your work.

I just flew to the Solheimasandur Plane Wreck

Solheimasandur Plane Wreck

Hi, Take off from Vestmannaeyjaflugvöllur I will fly over the Remains of a 1973 U.S. Navy DC plane that crashed on black sand. On the way back I will stop at flugvöllur skogum. [Annotation 2020-08-29 115353] I move away from Vestmannaeyjaflugvöllur. [Annotation 2020-08-29 125540] [Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020-08-29 10_48_54 jpeg] I fly over the coast to join Solheimasandur Plane Wreck. [Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020-08-29 10_54_42 jpeg] [Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020-08-29 10_5…

and I just want to point this out to you (on the mountain)

Thank you

[Baddweapon1116]

Thanks! Was the plane wreck in the sim? I’m thinking about adding it.
I’ve seen a bit of those weird landscape artifacts around other parts of Iceland as well. I’m still trying to figure out how to fix those but that may be an issue until the SDK is more fleshed out.
