NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SU11, there will be no more work on this scenario.
I am expanding a further the initial Bella Bella scenery.
This new package includes:
- 20mt LIDAR elevation data for the relevant area of interest and to keep performance and size at optimal levels
- Bella Bella CBBC Scenario
- Two facilities in Rivers Inlet, CAU7 Seaplane Dock and CAU9 Rivers Inlet Airfield
- Heightmap exclusions for Bella Coola sceneries (should be compatible both with the freeware and orbx edition)
The scenario is fully compatible with SU5 but not tested with PlaneGuy04 British Columbia 15mt Elevation Data.
Compatibility with Machmell Fisheries is also supported. (https://flightsim.to/file/1046/machmell-fisheries-2020-v1-1)
I tested the performance and FPS impact of the elevation data using high flying and fast jets which stress the game the most, especially now that we have RAM and GPU VRAM limitations to support console gamers but noticed only very minor and occasional stutters when the game garbage collects unused elevation data to make room for new objects.
Your mileage may vary but we are all flying with 8GB of ram now so I expect it to be as much relevant in a low spec machine as in a high spec.
CREDITS - IMPORTANT NOTE - READ CAREFULLY
In order for this scenario to work correctly you need to have installed
- Dave's 3D People Libbrary by BadMed (https://flightsim.to/file/5452/dave-s-3d-people-library)
- Dave's Seaplane Object Library by BadMed (https://flightsim.to/file/5806/fisherman-dave-s-seaplane-base-object-library)
INSTALLATION
Drop all packages to your community folder.
This scenery is not compatible with SU11.
It also ruins CYBD (Orbx and Microsoft), unless you want to ride waves on the runway 😉

Thank you for your superb work.
However, I found some inconsistencies in the identification of facilities. In your work, Rivers Inlet Seaplane Base (or Dock) is CAU7. In real life, it is identified CAU8.
Likewise, Rivers Inlet Airfield is identified as CAU9 whereas in real life it is Fort Grahame Seaplane Base (near CBW3) which carries this identifier.
On the other hand, CAU7 does not seem to be assigned in real life and could therefore go to Rivers Inlet Airfield in your work.
It would lead to less confusion.
Maybe for an update ...
Thanks a lot

I thought it was low flying and fast jets which stress the game the most.

when you are flying low there are less rectangles being loaded.
when you are high the sim will have much more heightmaps to load and then will come the stutters.
again, mileage will vary but that's what I experimented during my tests with high resolution elevation maps.

Just checking: there was cau8, Campbell River, in the download. You mentioned a cau7?

CAU8 was deleted, I had some problems with the SDK positioning the airport so I had to replace it with CAU7.

Awesome! An airport and town I have spent a lot of time at in real life. Thanks for this.

I am glad you like it. Unfortunately, there is not much material of this airport and town and I had to make a lot of guesswork.
let me know should you find any macroscopic inaccuracies.
