Ireland heightmaps

[bba]

Hi everyone,

I have made heightmaps for Ireland based on real-world elevation (SRTM) data. They are available as 4096x4096, 2048x2048, 1024x1024 and 512x512 versions. 512x512 and 1024x1024 are attached and the others will follow. (I will also upload these to BaNaNaS).

The map includes the island of Ireland and its surrounding islands , the Isle of Man and some parts of western Scotland and Wales. The below screenshot gives a sense of what the map looks like.

Being a heightmap, towns, rivers, industries, etc, are not included and will be generated randomly when you load the heightmap. I will hopefully eventually create a scenario with realistically placed towns, rivers and industries. In the meantime, I have uploaded an Irish Town Names GRF to BaNaNaS which would go well with the heightmap.

Hope you enjoy!
