Cape Canaveral Tiles - Level 21 (1024x1024)

Cape Canaveral Tiles - Level 21 (1024x1024)

This add-on contains custom high-resolution tiles for the default Cape Canaveral spaceport.

There are two independent maps to choose from: Map 1 and Map 2. Links for two archives (for Map 1 and Map 2) are provided on my Google Drive.

Map 1 (7.4 GB archived, 17.1 GB unpacked) contains surface and mask tiles of levels 7-21. Levels 7-19 can be used with Orbiter 2016:
Map 2 (5.7 GB archived, 12.9 GB unpacked) contains surface and mask tiles of levels 7-21. Levels 7-19 can be used with Orbiter 2016:

IMPORTANT: Please, read all NOTES before installation and see screenshots for both maps below.
INSTALLATION: Unpack the selected archive into /Textures/Earth.

NOTES:
  • Map 2 contains slightly fewer tiles than Map 1;
  • it's recommended to try Map 2 first, since it contains fewer tiles, so you can avoid some problems with overwriting tiles;
  • this add-on is compatible with Orbiter 2016 by deleting directories 20 and 21 from the Surf and Mask directories, although I made this add-on for Orbiter 2024;
  • tiles near the longer runway are level 21, while the remaining tiles are level 20;
  • all surface tiles have resolution of 1024x1024 for better detail;
  • all mask tiles have resolution of 512x512 and are default (extrapolated from the default high textures);
  • the tiles are more compatible with high TREE textures of size 32.8 GB located in /Textures/Earth/Archive;
  • colour matching isn't perfect, but I blended the custom tiles with the default ones;
  • You can delete both runway objects (the tiles provide high-quality runways, but you might have problems with the runway ILS) and all buildings except the VAB, by simply editing /Config/Earth/Base/Canaveral.cfg and pasting only:
Code:
BASE-V2.0
Name = Cape Canaveral

Thanks everyone for your help!
