This mod includes fixes for 95 airstrips (so far) in western New Guinea, the western half of the island of New Guinea in Indonesia, which includes the provinces of West Papua, Central Papua, Papua, Highlands Papua, and South Papua. These fixes are usually to trim vegetation which is unrealistically high on approaches, and clearing vegetation from runways, but some fixes involve other changes like adding vegetation, flattening ground or water, etc.
In version 1.0.0, it includes fixes for 95 airstrips, covering all airstrips from WAVV Wamena eastwards to the border with Papua New Guinea.
Future updates will add fixes for more airstrips to the west of Wamena, eventually covering the whole of western New Guinea.
This mod also includes various fixes to terrain in general in western New Guinea: flattening spikes (including one giant spike higher than Puncak Jaya!) and other changes, like attempting to improve ground textures where clouds are baked in to the satellite imagery.
This mod is included in my mega mod for PNG and western New Guinea. If you download the mega mod, you can in future just update that single mod to get airfields, airstrip fixes, terrain fixes and more for Papua New Guinea and western New Guinea (Indonesian Papua province and other provinces), instead of having to update multiple mods.
You can then delete my other mods from your flightsim.to downloads list, so you only get notified about updates to the mega mod.

Hi, is this compatible with EastPapua airstrips from kronzky? Would love to take the annoying artefacts in scenery but do not know if there is overlap of airstrips and potential clash. Many thanks

Hi, there should be no clash. This mod only applies fixes to airstrips in core MSFS, not extra strips added by other mods. Having said that, it also includes some broad-landscape fixes in a few areas (where there are large areas of clouds baked into the satellite texture, for instance) and it's possible that this would affect other mods like Kronzky's. I have that one and as far as I know there is no clash. If you see any specific problem, please let me know and I'll update the mod to fix it.
