    ITALIAN ALPS 20m DEM - High Resolution Terrain Elevation Data from LIDAR Imaging - Image 1

    Description

    Experience the Italian Alps!

    This mod contains customized height profiles for the Italian Alps. Ranging from the Mediterranean Sea across the Mont Blanc Massiv to the Dolomites and right to the Austrian-Slovenian border. The mod contains high definition LIDAR DEM data with a mesh resolution of 20m. The height resolution is as good as 0.1m. 
    The mod does not only provide mountain shapes being very close to reality, but also flattens lakes & rivers and gets rid of any terrain artifacts.

    IMPORTANT

    Disclaimer: The creator of this mod is not responsible for any problems, damage, incompatibilites to other mods or performance issues that might occur. 
    Please note, that this mod is a very high resolution mesh covering large areas across the Alps. The elevation data is applied through terraforming rectangles, thus loaded at a certain distance from the player. When travelling fast or at high alitude (wide range of view) there might be too many new rectangles loaded simultaneously and thus stutters might occur. 

    If you have any stutters you can try and reduce your ingame render settings or uninstall!
    If you are mainly flying airliners in high altitude, there is probably no benefit for you in using this mod. 

    Affected Sceneries

    As it stands, the famous Matterhorn mountain, seems to be the only mountain not represented realistically, what a shame. I think this is due to a very distorted generic mesh and will take an additional DEM to fix it.
    Please report any bugs with sceneries or airports and I will see what I can do!

    Credits

    The elevation data used was a LIDAR 20m height profile of Italy compiled by Sonny (http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/1461741e-a7f3-4681-a401-122ce627f0f2)
    It was then transfered into MSFS using MSFS Toolkit by Nool Aerosystems (https://msfs.nool.ee/)
    Thank you both and for anyone reading this: Please go ahead and support them!

     

    Enjoy your VFR flights above the Italy!

    Looks of the mountains are definitely improved. But very severe stuttering on my machine. I have an i7 4790k, 32 GB RAM and an RX 580.


    It seems that the stutters are caused by windows moving contents of the ram to the pagefile (which is on my very slow hdd, duh). Without the dem meshes installed, this does not happen. In particular, without the meshes the ram usage of the simulator is more or less constant. With the meshes enabled it rises slowly but steadily until it reaches some threshold which is when windows moves it out again and stutters happen. After that, the cycle begins again. My guess is that this is either a memory leak (can't exclude that but I'd expect this to be unlikely) or data is loaded from the disk into the ram. Looking at the disk usage of the simulator between the stutters there are always some meshes under the few biggest culprits. Interestingly, the dem regions are neither constant nor correlated with the region I'm currently flying in. The regions change all couple of seconds and I saw it eg load the dolomites when i was flying at very low altitudes around Zurich.


    Just a wild guess here. I know that msfs needs as much ram as it can get. Or, put differently, limits its ram usage based on the available ram. Maybe there's something off in that calculation when the meshes need to be loaded and msfs allocates more ram than it should?

    Are these mods redundant now? Everyone i've tried causes unbearable stutterimg.

    Anyone using this mod and still experiencing freezings after SU8? There have been no updates yet.

    Hello,

    Yes, there are freezes. Unfortunately I tried everything to update, but the results are the same. Something was changed by Asobo and I am not sure what to do. That is why this mod has been changed to unlisted!

    Thanks Troglodytus for your reply. My advice would be trying to convert the package to .CGL format if possible. Otherwise no idea.

    Mee too! It's unusable...

    it is. Unfortunately there is no way anymore to hide/disable the addon temporarily until it is fixed. There was an option for this, but it is gone - so the addons will remain online....

    Buongiorno dopo numerose prove ho realizzato che il tuo fantastico lavoro mi provoca dei freeze durante il volo.

    Questo è successo dopo gli ultimi aggiornamenti World Update VII.

    Spero che tu possa risolvere il problema grazie di nuovo per il tempo che hai dedicato allo svilupp.

    Moin Troglodytus, bezugnehmend auf das, was Liml2020 unten geschrieben habe, ich kann ähnliche Erfahrungen berichten, zwar keine regelmäßigen Abstürze, aber ein extremes Hängenbleiben und Audiostottern, teilweise über Sekunden, und das leider auch im Austria 20m Dem, im Schweiz Dem... und wahrscheinlich bei den anderen DEMs genauso.


    Ich weiss nicht ob es am World Update 7 liegt, aber der Zeitpunkt kommt hin: Als die Twin Otter am 19. Januar rauskam, lief alles noch wunderbar, heute wollte ich wieder durch die Alpen fliegen, komplette Katastrophe. Ich habe als Beispielflugroute für das Italien-DEM die Route Asiago LIDA nach Trento Matarello LIDT gewählt. Egal mit welchem Flugzeug, egal mit Multiplayer oder ohne, egal welches Wettersetting, das System stottert sich einen ab, als ob man versehentlich 3 unterschiedliche DEMS übereinander installiert hätte. Sim Rate erhöhen provoziert das Stottern ebenfalls.


    Deaktivieren der Troglodytus-Alpen-DEMs behebt das Problem sofort (content.xml zwischendurch immer gelöscht)


    Mein System ist ein 5900x und eine 3080ti, die haben das in Vergangenheit mit Bravour gepackt, auch liegen die Mods alle auf einer m.2 SSD.


    Ich bin jetzt verschiedene Bereiche abgeflogen, die Performance aller DEMs von Mikea.at, Dir oder teilweise auch Taburet hat stark nachgelassen. Bei den sogenannten "Meshs" von Orbx für den Himalaya, Neuseeland, Island oder Alaska bemerke ich keine Einbußen...


    Da ist also irgendetwas grundsätzlich seltsam auf einmal, daher würde ich den Sachverhalt erstmal nicht im Speziellen auf das Italy DEM schieben :(


    Ich denke zuerst müsste man rausfinden, was denn plötzlich anders ist, und warum ein 500mb 20m DEM einen High-End-Rechner plötzlich mehr belastet als ein Flug über 10 Gigabyte Photogrammetriedaten für eine heruntergeladene Großstadt... und am Ende auch die Fragestellung, ob ein Rekompilieren hier Besserung bringt (wobei Italien sich als eines der kleineren DEMs ja als Testobjekt anbieten würde)


    Viele Grüße
