Texture bugs or SP not loading? See comment for instructions

A scenery pack that adds 6 mountainous areas on Earth to the game, 1:1. Use for thumbnail screenshots, or general enjoyment. Now with better friction thanks to MisterT's help, and also ground buildings on the airport maps brought to you by a collaboration with Belugasub. The collab with Belugasub also let the mod become something much bigger than previous mods, the power of teams. Details are pushed to the max to get your Simpleplanes that "Flight Sim Feel", yet it should be able to run on most computers. You may be turned away by the download size, but trust me, I think it's worth the wait.

PACK CONTENT

The number next to the location is the number of 8k texture tiles used.

  • Courchevel Airport, France (8) ^
  • Kangchenjunga, Nepal (10)
  • Aconcagua, Argentina (6)
  • Mount Taibai, China (8)
  • Banff National Park, Canada (8)
  • Milford Sound, New Zealand (11) ^

^ - Airports
Lukla was cut due to below-average looks.


Reshade (IMPORTANT)

Pictures taken with Reshade. Reshade boosts the map textures and can be used to add post-effects in real-time to your game. As someone said, "RTX ON".

I highly recommend checking out these two links. A simple "sharpen" effect in Reshade really increases the texture quality of the scenery areas, and it works in real-time, so you'll experience it ingame (assuming you have enough processing power) rather than post production video or image effects. If you're using it for thumbnails, the sharpen effect alone in reshade is almost essential for making the map look its fullest. My settings include more post processing effects, but as it says on the guide, the "sharpen effect" that's included in the package are the only things really required.


Credit

  • Ground buildings modelled by Belugasub, as well as his D-13 Adler. His modelling work is very nice and I hope they add some extra flair to the Milford Sound and Courchevel maps, as these have airports. He also helped a lot in terms of testing, Unity help and feedback, covering a lot of work.
  • A big thanks to MisterT and DuckMint's modding server for help getting the friction to finally work - allowing better working runways. Oh, and GroundStart works now. Have fun at the airport.
  • A6M8 Zero made by Sodium, used with his permission.
  • Kangchenjunga suggested by That's A Hot Topic
  • Mount Taibai suggested by BubbleLukasie
  • Milford Sound / Mitre Peak suggested by JamesPlanesII and JustDatGuy

    BUG FAQ

    We have tested the mod again thoroughly and have prepared an FAQ for common issues when the mod is not working as it should be.


    SP Won't Open!

    • This happened to Belugasub and similar people who have weaker devices. He restarted SP 3 times and then it worked. It may happen if you directly open the .spmod, as SP needs to move it automatically, all 2 gigabytes, into your mods folder and decompress before it can open. Maybe you can bypass this by placing the .spmod directly into the mods folder.

    Missing Textures!

    • This is probably a conflict with another mod. Please disable other map mods, probably GIS ones. Mattangi2 had this problem but for some reason it was solved by restarting SP.

    No Android!


    Make SURE to get RESHADE (see description) if you want the best possible experience of using this mod, and get the same pictures as me. Nothing is stopping you except for computer power and if you have a mac, as the only mod version is PC and Reshade is for PC (sorry no mac)


    What is a:

        .zip file ??????
    

    Well, it is a form of compression, aka reducing the size of the mod as the original was 2.5gigabytes. This means you can download it faster and I can upload it faster as well. Windows can uncompress zip files automatically. Just right click the zip and click "extract all". Why did I make this guide? Because people I have met have asked how to open one.


    Look- the map is runnable. If it wasn’t runnable, why would it be released? I get around the same frames as the stock map.

    @M081LEng1NeeR Has been fixed twice now. On weak devices... you just got to wait for all those textures to load or restart

    I downloaded this mod and it kept my game from launching at all. I do have a weaker device but i did see the mod already in my mods folder. Maybe its just too much rip

    How come this doesn’t respond to fog? It makes it looks weird in the distance, especially around places with water.

    First off, you may want to read the tutorial for installing mods. Go to the mods folder and delete the mod there. That will stop SP from crashing. Next time, instead of opening the .spmod, place it in that folder and run SP. @Cerdd
