Description
A rough and ready fix for ocean flattening (the vertical cliffs that tend to warp textures and change shape distractingly, you know the ones) along the Aleutian Islands and the south side of the Alaskan Peninsula.
Covers the area between Umnak Island and Chignik Bay.
Fully compatible with all world updates and Orbx's Alaska mesh.
Plus:
Coastlines redrawn by hand along high tide marks for a more consistent lookSome additional water masking inland, on ponds, lakes and rivers
Pine forests replaced with scrubland
Tweaks to some settlements
Installation:
Click and drag the three files in "Alaska Tweaks.7z" to your community folder. You'll need 7zip, or another program that can open .7z files.
If you have installed Orbx's PADU replacement, please make sure you select the compatible version after clicking Download.
Known Issues:
Temporary:
There are patches of ocean on the East end of Unalaska Island, and around the islands of Adak and Akutan, that display the wrong wave behaviour at high wind speeds.
Permanent:
In the Orbx PADU compatible version, there is a noticeable change in coastline appearance over a large area surrounding PADU. Orbx have done their own version of removing the flattening, but they've used a different method to me and I can't work out how to create a smooth transition where the Orbx affected area ends.
Polygon borders are visible on ocean ice in some areas, in the form of faded grey lines. If Asobo fix the incorrect snow and ice cover in live weather this won't be such an issue.
There are seams visible, if you look close enough, in some places where the ocean meets the new water masking.

Very nice! Now if only ORBX would fix their laggy airport.
Cheers!

I thought it was just me who got the lag, it is awful isn't it? Also getting some nasty pop in, particularly with the fences, but I don't know if that's par for the course with addons as I don't use many.
Thanks so much for the ratings and the comments :)

It is awful indeed, with Orbx PADU! I haven't noticed the fence popping into view but I do have major lag when I lift off the runway and the entire way up to about 200 agl or so then it stops. I have no other issues other than this... I think it might be an LOD issue. Far from par for the course with most add-ons, getting worse and worse with Orbx though. The thing with Orbx is, is that not all airports are developed by the same person or team, so results vary it seems...

I'm having the same problem with ORBX PADU , its a geat scenery, but there's indeed a siginifcant drop in fps /lag when lifting off the runway, and less noticable upon landing. .I thought indeed maybe the fence is the problem, or that rock wall at the end of the runway. hope they can fix this in the near future:)

How does this interact with ORBX Alaska terrain mesh and previous coastline/water fixes?
over 3 years ago
The mod is fully compatible with Orbx's Alaska mesh - but if you have installed Orbx's new PADU addon, you will need to download the compatible version I have uploaded today.
There shouldn't be any area overlap with other water fix mods, so mine should play nice with all of them.

Just a question, how long did this take? It seems like a lot of effort haha

The first half took a month off work with covid, and the second half took a couple of weeks of an hour or two a night - workflow is a lot more efficient now. It’s like meditation although with a higher risk of RSI

oh wow so a high effort to time ratio

It didn’t take as long as I thought it would, but it is very rough in places, and cleaning it up won’t be finished for a few months probably.
NOT WORKING SU14 :( Alaska Tweaks: Peninsula & Aleutians
