Experience Svalbard!
This mod contains customized height profiles. The mod contains high definition SRTM DEM data with a mesh resolution of 25m. (ALOS Project)
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. 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.

The elevation data used was a SRTM 25m height profile (https://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/ALOS/en/aw3d30/data/index.htm)
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!
Thanks Troglodytus for you help!
Enjoy your VFR flights above the Svalbard!

Hi, i think after the last Microsoft update this mod is not necessary anymore...
I removed the mod and emptied my caches, but (negative) effects of the mod are still there...it looks like the mod is still active...
Is it possible that the terraforming rectangles method or anything else still influences the way the scenery in the Svalbard area is loaded?

If you delete everything correctly it is not possible that it still gets loaded. If you encounter problems they have to be in another mod i think.

Hi Mikea.at , big fan of your work 😊
I'm using a high end system with 5900x, 3080ti and m.2 drives dedicated to MSFS only, still my system cannot handle this add-on.
While on canaries and troglodytus's alps i only get occasional audio crackle and dropouts, here, it is unbearable and i'm "ratlos" what i can still do. (it's worse with rolling cache enabled)
Can this be related to the uncompressed size of 7GB (which seems much for a 25m DEM, but, admittingly svalbard is bigger than ireland..)
For the time being, i am going to svalbard without the DEM installed, as u said, for the occasional landing in Spitzbergen, it's probably not required.
Just wanted to give you the feedback, keep up the good work 😊

Is this DEM25 m mod compatible with Asobo world update V (Scandinavia)? Is is still useful? I expirienced heavy stuttering when appoaching Longyear airport. Also freeware airports are no longer requiered for Longyear since it is now covered by Asobo, I guess.

Thank you for uploading these amazing DEM mods, truly appreciated! Just a quick question, do you know if there is DEM data for Southern Africa and if there is, is there some guide in which I can get the data into the sim? Thanks again 😉

This website has data on pretty much anywhere in the world, the modders just need to select whatever areas they want to do and download and convert it for in game use

I'm trying to get someone to do China's landscape because the version in game is absolutely horrendous.
