Welcome to my Kiska Island Ortho imagery improvement package
I have made this to compliment my Kiska Island military airfield which can be downloaded here:-
Kiska Island abandoned WW2 airfield Current Version 1.0 by Karlos
This package is optional, but I highly recommned you use it with the airfield as it is a vast improvement over the stock imagery.
The in-sim BING data for the area surounding the airfield is snow covered and has a green tinge to it, which is unatural and obscures some of the WW2 detail. Google data was not much better due to poor low res images, no snow though.
Instead I have used USA2 open source ortho images which not only has no snow but the res is good enough to use in the sim. To get the most out of the data I have used ZL19 and to keep file sizes down I have only converted the area around the airfield (about 1/3 of the island) as I imagine this is the area most people will visit. The whole island is available and maybe I will do the rest of the island if the community would like me to.
The boundary between USA2 and BING data is very noticable, but to be fair the weather on the island is rarely good enough to see that far.
The file is split into two Rar files. You may have your own method but if you are unsure:-
1. Create a folder on your desktop
2. Download both Rar files and place in the folger you created on your desktop.
3. Unpack the 1st file.
4. Unpack the 2nd - you will be asked do you want to overwrite files, click yes to all.
5. Once unpacked move assembled file into your community folder.
I have not noticed any FPS hit so please download and enjoy!!!
Let me know if something is not right or could be improved.
All the best

And yes, as mentioned below; the whole Aleutian chain would be awsome😊😊😊

Wow, love it!! Would be great if you did the whole island!!! Looks weird when you go from usa2 to bing, especially when bing is a winter image... You'll get the other half of the fifth star when it's done😊
