This is an entirely new version of the StAndrews scenery I made back in 2020. Rebuilt from the ground up at a higher LOD and optimised with Thalixte' Google Earth optimisation tool for much better performance. The scenery also has full working custom night lighting and road traffic. I've tried to do a bit of a better job blending in the fields round the edge of the town but with the current limitations of the terraforming tool in the SDK its not always possible to get it looking as good as it should. I also noticed there was a small area of the town where the photogrammetry didn't compile correctly. I'll try and get this sorted as soon. As the SDK improves and optimisation tools get better I might revisit the scenery again but for now I think a lot of people will enjoy it as it is.
There are a few nice little scenery extras to see. If you'd like these to appear you'll need the follwing libraries installed.

Hi thanks for remaking the map. I downloaded it and all the buildings look mashed up and it looks very low quality when flying close to the town, unlike what is shown on this page. Is there a way I can fix it?

No sure how close you're flying. Even the highest quality photogrammetry isn't designed to be viewed too close up. If its still distorted from further away (like the screen shots) then I'm not sure whats wrong, sorry.

Sorry I meant Kingsmuir Airfield of course. I'm just down the road from Kirkbride - landed there yesterday and it already has a mod lol

Thanks for doing this update. I lived in St Andrews in the early 2010s. Best place I ever lived. Now a proper pilot and hope to get to Kirkbride Airfield soon - one worth doing as a mod. David
