Now that I have installed bother on my laptop, I can generate heightmaps with options easily by typing the range of latitude and longitude.
However making scenarios is much harder and more time-consuming. So this topic would probably be updated slowly.
Current scenarios:
[OTTD] [2048*1024] Shandong Province, China (Alpha version) - viewtopic.php?t=89956
[OTTD] [2048*2048] Malta - viewtopic.php?t=90347
[JGR 0.53.1 or higher] [4096*4096] Denmark - Work in Progress, Prioritised
[JGR 0.53.1 or higher] [16384*4096] Japan - Work in Progress
...
Current Heightmaps:
[8192*8192] Denmark - Available on BaNaNaS

Re: John Franklin's Scenario and Heightmap Topic
This is the heightmap of Denmark (without the Faroe Islands and Greenland, with southern Sweden and northern Germany, northwestern Poland). 8192*8192. Made by bother script.
When using 8192*8192 map size, 1 tile is approximately equal to 62.5 meters.

Re: John Franklin's Scenario and Heightmap Topic
I have planned to make many magnificent big maps.
None of them are completed.
So I decided to start from small. Only one hour's work to make this map: La Réunion and Mauritius 4096x1024 (most of the map is sea, so it is easy to make). Temperate Climate since there is neither desert nor snow on these islands. (If my geography fails, fell free to criticise me
)
Heightmap generated by Tangram Heightmapper. Towns but no industries are placed. Japan Set and JP+ trains for a wide variety of short-distance rail transport, but the 1860 start would make players rely on road vehicles and ships in hard early years.

And you need OpenTTD >=13.4 and Renewed Village Growth 9.3 to load this scenario. Have fun!
