Yosemite Valley FS24

Yosemite Valley is a world-renowned glacial valley located in Yosemite National Park, California. It's famous for its towering granite cliffs, such as El Capitan and Half Dome, and iconic waterfalls like Bridalveil Fall and Yosemite Falls. The valley is a popular destination for hiking, rock climbing, and sightseeing, offering stunning views and a variety of recreational activities

The enhancements aim to provide a more authentic and immersive sightseeing experience for pilots flying through Yosemite National Park.

• Improved Terrain and Textures( base texture has those nasty dark shadows from satellite images. I hope my improvement is good enough). Road texture and elevation improvements. Terraforming is still buggy though, specially on areas with TIN data.
• Enhanced Landmarks with custom 3D models using PBR textures.
• Dynamic Elements such as animated waterfalls and rivers.
• Hand-Crafted Details for each Point of Interest.
• Landmarks included are:
  • Cascade Glade
  • Yosemite Valley Welcome Center
  • Yosemite Valley Chapel
  • El Capitan Meadow
  • Glacier Point
  • Illiloutte Falls
  • Yosemite Falls Vantage Point

  • Little Yosemite Valley Outhouse and Mist & John Muir Trail Junction Outhouse (Try If you can find it :))

You can start your flight to any spawning point available. I suggest the parking at the Cascade Glade at the entrance of the valley or from the nearest airport at the Mariposa-Yosemite(KMPI-There is an available free airport scenery of it If you are on PC by one of my favorite dev,"vbazillio". You can get it at https://flightsim.to/file/68318/mariposa-yosemite-airport-kmpi)

Important Notes

• Check POI markers for specific areas that has been significantly improved.
• Parking/spawning points sometimes only appear after you zoom in to the fictional airport YSMT.
• You can land mostly anywhere. I have put collisions on most of the models.
• LOD is still a big problem for SU2. The waterfalls sometimes doesn't appear at first unless its already loaded by the sim. The workaround is to zoom in at the world map to the POIs (specially the waterfall areas and let them appear first before starting the flight)
