hello baddweapon,
yes it is, but only a bing map texture, if you can make a 3d object, that would be great
See you

Ah okay, thatâs definitely going on the list then!
The trip to Scotland via Faroe and Shetland islands was a bit of a miss. Faroe islands is missing the airport yet since I knew where it is I tried to land there anyway. Not possible in the dark, I landed on a road instead.
The islands are just plain in daylight. The âdetailedâ textures replace the low res mountain textures with bland green hills. No data I guess.
The Shetland islands have lots of bugs in the height data. This is Scatsta airport EGPM
The ground detail is there but the height data is all messed up.
Scotland was great though as well as Ireland.
Btw if youâre making a pass through Northern Canada (plenty height bugs in Nunavut) check out Grise Fiord. Also not listed in the game but you can land there.
Northern most airport in Canada, NE from Pond inlet CYIO.
The bug in the terrain actually helped me find it. The in game maps donât work past 75 degrees North so I had to trace the edge the water in the fog after aiming for where it should be. The landing is very hard, the start of the landing strip has some nasty bumps. Svalbard was much easier to land at
I can say you that I reported this weeks ago. So should be a know issue.
The Scotland shot looks great!
And wow yeah looks like a good bit of areas have that issue currently. Itâll be interesting to see what we can do once weâre able to use our own meshes.
Old update Information will be posted here:
UPDATE 02/03/21 1.7.2:
This update fixes new terrain issues around BIBF and BINF, adjusts the speed and animation of the blue whales, and adds in more objects to all coastal city ports to give them more life.
UPDATE 01/24/21 1.7.1:
This update adds blue whales and two accompanying POIs to the north of Iceland. If you stick around the POIs long enough you may see one of them put on a show! Iâm going to try and add splash animations when the SDK supports them. The update also adjusts the animations of the orcas so that they are not perfectly synchronized. Check out the second screenshot for a peek.
UPDATE 01/20/21 1.7.0:
This update adds animated orcas in locations where they would be found in real life! They can be found by looking for the POI markers in north and north-west Iceland. More animals will be added and animations refined after I gauge feedback from this update. Every costal city has had objects added to bring life to the countryâs ports.
UPDATE 01/12/21 1.6.2:
This update fixes some mesh conflicts from the newest update (Hverfjall crater interior and the runway at BIRE), removes redundant fixes that are no longer needed with the newest game version, and adjusted other landscape fixes to better fit with the new default mesh.
UPDATE 12/31/20 1.6.1:
This small update fixes a few more issues from the last version. Some clipping issues in ReykjaviÂk, fixes a new water spike that showed up by the airport in Akureyri, fixes the missing ATC towers in BIRK, and fixes some of the incompatible text symbols in the POI markers.
UPDATE 11/30/20 1.6.0:
Hey everyone, sorry for the long delay. Past few months have been busy

Along with a fix for Hverfjall crater interior, updated terrain changes to meld with heightmap updates from the US Update, further improvements to tree coverage and landscape fixes, and POI markers for all of the lighthouses and other unique structures around Iceland.
UPDATE 9/30/20 1.5.2:
This update fixes the issue of all Iceland Overhaul custom buildings turning white after installing MSFS patch 1.9.3.0.

This update adds 47 buildings, mainly around Laugavegur Street, working lighting to the harbor lighthouses, a night texture for Hallgrimskirkja, and fixes the volcanoes on Vestmannaeyjar

This update adds 86 buildings to fill out the Centre and Hlemmur neighborhoods of Reykjavik, and ĂrbĂŠr Open Air Museum. It also adds 4 guyed radio masts with working night lighting to their real world locations in Iceland. One being the tallest structure in Western Europe at 412 meters; the Hellissandur longwave radio mast. The new addon file name is âbaddweapon-scenery-icelandoverhaul-v1-4â

New update!
thanks a lot - love what you have done in Iceland
baddweapon you rock!
Iceland is a beautiful country with lots of tourist attraction, thank you for your work
My next flight will be to Haukadalur and I will try to find the Strokkur geyser, and Haukadalskirkja church which is close to the geyser, I suppose the geyser is not represented every 5 to 10 minutes in 3d object
bing map
Strokkur
Haukadalskirkja church
PS: Iâm going back to see DC 3 plane at a lower altitude and the church you added.
See you
Lemme know what you think! The geyser isnt modeled which is a bummer since thatâs one fo the few places in Iceland Iâve been to. Iâll try to see what I can do about the church!
Hello baddweapon,
Great job,
I flew over the DC-3 at 150 feet, the plane is very well detailed when compared to the real one
Just one thing bothers me⊠the path (I suppose to be created by bing map) that leads to the DC-3.
Here is what i think: Microsoft / Asobo should hire you to upgrade FS2020.
Yeah the path definitely needs to go Looks to be an overlay they have in place for every road in the game. I havenât found a way to remove them yet but still experimenting.
Haha thanks for the words of confidence!
Also, I love the composition of that last shot you uploaded!
Your work was already great, now with POIs itâs becoming marvelous, thanks!
Thanks! More to come over the next few days!
You are welcome,
About the overlay, microsoft / asobo / bing map should have removed them
You can use my screenshot as needed
See you
Thank you very much. Can you please take a look in Akureyri (BIAR). The water right hand from runway 19 looks bad.
Many thanks in advance.
Sure! Thanks for pointing it out.
@baddweapon
First off, thanks muchos for this!
Second, does the âIceland Overhaulâ replace or go with the âIceland Tree Fixâ ?
Replaces it! All future packs will replace previous ones unless otherwise stated.
Sorry for the confusion, development on this has been pretty spontaneous so I didnt plan ahead too well till now
Thanks for the clarification
