1.17.3.0 added also new DEM/watermask (St-Barth, St-Martin)

[vbazillio 2,234]

I'm not flying in the Nordics region and is not much interesting in the WU5, but the update 1.17.3 added what it seems great update on DEM for some places I love (St-Barth/St-Martin) and that some have missed 😉 

St-Martin, Orient Bay beach, closest airport is Grand-Case TFFG

St-Barth (TFFS) :

Can't wait to discover the other "at various locations" (as written in the release notes) 😉

Fantastic news! It took some time, but they are finally getting them done. I have a feeling that Tahiti has already been updated but I have not confirmed.

I'm get CTD with Air Worthy Designs TNCM. Everything is fine if I remove it. Can anyone else confirm?

I have a freeware mod for princess juliana with people on the beach at the end of the runway.  I must give it a try later as I'm sure it will look fantastique.

There's also a relatively cheap payware addon available in the current OrbX sale, that adds a lot of boats, marina areas and such to these islands. Looks quite lovely together with the new watermasks.

The mention of Saint Pierre and Miquelon in patch notes is interesting.

They already had a noticeably improved DEM update in WU4. So I wonder if that's a mistake, or if they updated it again?

Maybe they added more coverage to the island, I'll have to check.

Is that with the default TNCM or the AWE payware St. Maarten?

I was getting this as well. I messaged them on FB and so far no response. I searched and did find that renaming the materialLibs folder to something like materialLibsTNCM fixed it. The issue I have now though is the beach with the people has a checkerboard pattern to it. I cannot figure out how to fix this. Pretty frustrating too that the dev has been silent
