    Sioux Falls - Image 1

    Description

    Sioux Falls is the most populous city in the U.S. state of South Dakota and the 139th-most populous city in the United States. It is the county seat of Minnehaha County and also extends into Lincoln County to the south, proximate with the Iowa state line. As of 2020, Sioux Falls had an estimated population of 195,850. The Sioux Falls metro area accounts for more than a quarter of the state's entire population. Chartered in 1856 on the banks of the Big Sioux River, the city is situated in the rolling hills at the junction of interstates 29 and 90.

    The history of Sioux Falls revolves around the cascades of the Big Sioux River. The falls were created about 14,000 years ago during the last ice age. The lure of the falls has been a powerful influence. Ho-Chunk, Ioway, Otoe, Missouri, Omaha (and Ponca at the time), Quapaw, Kansa, Osage, Arikira, Dakota, and Cheyenne people inhabited and settled the region previous to Europeans and European descendants. Numerous burial mounds still exist on the high bluffs near the river and are spread throughout the general vicinity. Indigenous people maintained an agricultural society with fortified villages, and the later arrivals rebuilt on many of the same sites that were previously settled. Lakota populate urban and reservation communities in the contemporary state and many Lakota, Dakota, and numerous other Indigenous Americans reside in Sioux Falls today.

    This mod would be great, but when I install it, it creates a big hole in the map and makes the city look like it is floating. Is anyone else having this problem?

    You have to download the three files for the scenery to display properly.

    Hello Thax! Any chance you could expand the coverage of this scenery? Looking on Google, the radius could be expanded out a bit yet. Also, would you be able to re-introduce procedural trees so the different seasons mods have an effect on the appearance of the city area? Thank you!

    I have a massive pit where Sioux Falls should be. I can see the Google buildings at the bottom of the hole. Is there a required mesh elevation mod needed for this to display properly?

    Fixed. Make sure you download all 3 parts!

    No, there is not, but you have to make sure that you downloaded all the archives and installed all the folders (there are 3 archives, so three folders).

    "This scenery uses this colors light pack (credits to miguel88): https://flightsim.to/file/912/11-colors-lights-pack-from-blender-1-0" - This file is no longer available on flightsim.to - The following message appears, "Oops... Nothing to show here". I can't locate "miguel88" either. But your scenery is great!

    This is awesome you doing smaller cities in the US like this. Especially with night lights. I have everyone of your sceneries in Europe and the US. Thank you so much for what you do. If you ever get the chance I would love to see an Amarillo Texas version by you. All your photogrammetry blends with the surrounding areas and Bing does not blend in well.

    Wow. Simply Wow! I went to Sioux Falls a few years ago to do some career fairs and open houses. I remember seeing the area and thinking it looked great. You captured it very well. Great job.

    absolutely amazing! I've got family that lives right near there. long shot question but would you look into doing Akron Canton area? I am a flight student at Kent State and having the ability to fly from KSU to KCAK in photogrammetry would be incredible!
