Next Scenery for XP11 : Ten Peaks - Lake Moraine - Canada

With Fabio we are working on the next scenery for Xp11: Ten Peaks Park - Canada.
Beautiful scenery on Lake Moraine. The scenery also includes Lake Louise and the tourist centers of the area, Mount Temple and the Mt.Hungabee chain.
There will be a new feature: water-runways for flights from Lake Moraine to Lake Louise.

k2 - Karakorum scenery - Available

This scenery covers a territory of 2000 kmq. karakorum - Baltoro (Pakistan) is only suitable for VFR flight, only with a "visual flight". The whole territory was reconstructed on a photographic basis. The main Karakorum Base Camp (Concordia), K2 Base Camp and Camp IV located at 8000 meters have been rebuilt (on K2). The main mountains of area have been reproduced in 3D: beyond K2 (8611), the Broad peak (8047), the Gasherbrum group (8035), the Cogholisa (7655), the Masherbrum (7821), Muztagh Tower (7276) Metri Peak (6010) . All 3D models were reconstructed according to DEM (digital elevation model) data and further processed with many structural details. All textures based on 4K (4096x4096) are derived from HD photographs and positioned respecting the real position. In addition, polygons / textures have been placed on the areas not covered by the 3D models for a significant improvement in their appearance.

DOLOMITES and MSFS 2020

I've been working Dolomites for a few days ... with my 3D models.
As everyone has seen, the Dolomites (a World Heritage Site) are absolutely not present in MSFS, but only bleak hills.
After a first phase of uncertainty, due to some setting errors, I was able to insert the 3D models in MSFS.
However, simply entering is not enough. Precise and burr-free positioning is required. With current MSFS tools this is currently not possible. Very approximate and not very intuitive.
Easy to insert small 3D objects on flat meshes (airports, houses ...) easy to insert entire cities in photogrammetry (even for non-experts), for the mountains the difficulty is considerable.
Accurately positioning a large 3D object (mountain) on LOD-low meshes, without the ability to correct the meshes, is virtually impossible.
Currently the tools available are very few, bound to work on the SIM, no external compiler, no possibility to work on meshes. In addition, the orthophotos in mountain areas present very evident fixed shadows, creating black areas (unsightly), difficult / impossible to correct.
For all these current situations it is not possible to build quality scenaries like I did for Xplane 11. Too bad because the light and atmosphere created by MSFS is extraordinary and very realistic.
I await your comments and suggestions.

Brenta Dolomites - fifth pakage

The scenery is entirely included in grade + 46 + 010 and is the fifth in a series of 5 sequential scenaries that will include all Dolomites.
This fifth part comprises a territory of about 800 sq km in the western part of the Dolomites.
1 small airfield, with considerable difficulties especially in landing.
All the Dolomites of this Brenta group have been reproduced in 3D, Cima Brenta, Crozzon, Cima Tosa, Campanile basso, Sfulmini, Brenta Alta, Valstretta...
which are added to the Dolomites of the previous scenaries, for a total of 64 3D models reconstructed.
