This pack by the developer who simply goes by the name of Chris brings the mesh terrain (DEM - digital elevation models) data up to much higher resolution for the entire country of Italy.
This pack is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 release. The DEM data in this pack is much improved on the Microsoft default and mountains, valleys, and shorelines look much closer to their real-world counterpart.
DEM data (or mesh as many legacy FS users will know it) is the information that is below the photoreal scenery you see below you. It's what defines the heights, depths, and details of the terrain the photoreal data it "wrapped around".
The entire country of Italy is included, from the far north right down to the lower south regions. Also many of the islands such as Sicily, Sardina are included as well as many more.
Some of the regions included are;
- Abruzzo
- Basilicata
- Calabria
- Campania
- Emilia-Romagna
- Friuli-Venezia Giulia
- Latium (Lazio)
- Liguria
- Lombardia
- Marche
- Molise
- Piemonte
- Puglia (Apulia)
- Sardegna (Sardinia)
- Sicilia (Sicily)
- Toscana (Tuscany)
- Trentino-Alto Adige(Trentino-South Tyrol )
- Umbria
- Valle d'Aosta(Aosta Valley )
- Veneto
This pack brings a 20-meter resolution data to increase the resolution of the default MSFS DEM scenery.

I just downloaded it, I'll try it and I'll tell you.........
September 16, 2022, LOWI elevation is severely corrupted with this current addon. It was the same with or without the ORBX LOWI addon installed. The scenery in Italy seems to be okay. I have taken several screenshots. I understand that you are aware of elevation spikes at the area borders of this addon. I thank you for your hard work and contribution but just letting you know what I observed. Best regards ... Dan.
How is it possible to use DEM for MSFS2020, I am looking for a solution for Faröer Islands because the whole area has poor mesh.
It is very detailed, I know some valleys and these are detailed with great accuracy.
