Thanks! This looks really neat; will definitely make up scenarios using it. :thumbup:

Looks like I've got beachfront property now.

How many meters higher is the sea level there? :lol:

Miraculously enough, I seem to not be underwater. That's remarkable.

You should make a new KSC for this where the runway is an aircraft carrier and the launch pads are on top of of Isle del VAB. on a side note, I feel that parts of Florida would resemble the Bahamas instead of wholly disappearing like deep water. I guess it depends on the depth

"READ ME!!!!!!.txt"

Well, at least nobody's going to miss that... Though you might want to place your name into the read me file itself. It's possible to lose track of who created an addon if you store the zip files on the hard drive.

Will you create a higher res version in the future? These textures are quite low res...

thanks for all the feedback. im glad u like it. i made this map by using a grey style heightmap of earth and setting the contrast to maximum, so there were only two colors: black and white. i then changed the brightness until i found a look i liked, i found that Florida was completely submerged (hope this doesnt happen, when i move to America i want to see Florida).... anyway, this was actually part of a massive project portraying a future solar system, set in 2582, complete with a terraformed Mars and Europa. this separate version of orbiter has about 40 different space ships and stations and many offworld bases and colonies. it is also part of a timeline that includes different stages of human advancement throughout the centuries. i would love to share it with you, but i am trying to get into the film bushiness so i keep these creations close to my chest. (i want to make a film set in this universe)..... however, if u really, really want me to upload it, i might. anyway, glad u like the ad on, its always great to hear feedback

i understand it is completely submerged, i was actually talking about the submerged part of the bahamas, the bright blue water. There are some white sand beaches in Florida that I was thinking might resemble the shallows in the bahamas. to illustrate what i mean, i looked up the highest point in florida and it was 105 meters. the highest point in the bahamas is a little over 60 meters. IF florida is totally submerged, and the ocean has risen about 110 meters, fully covering florida, the highest point in the bahamas would be submerged under 50 meters of water.

the bahamas are still visible on the flooded earth, but florida is almost invisible. I was thinking that if florida is 50 meters taller than the bahamas, then either some of florida would be more visible (though submerged, of course) or the bahamas would disappear completely

according to this site:

the bright colored patches in the bahamas average only about 3 meters deep. if florida is covered completely, they will be under about 60 meters of water, in which case, i personally would speculate that the bahamas might disappear without a trace

105 meters? Then I have a house on a single lonly island now, a few kilometers away from the shore.

this looks like a very interesting addon, please make more. i will download it and some of youre other addons soon. ive alwys wanted a future earth for orbiter, but since florida goes underwater, it might interfear with my cape canaveral addon im currently working on. but i guess i will have to relocate the base, if this addon is permanent. is it permanent, or only in only few scenerios? ether way, it looks amazing

yeah. i have made a seccond space port. this is set 500 yrs into the future, i guess there would be a new spaceport in a new location, so i made a Lake Michigan spaceport, which is a lot bigger. :lol: but that is not included in this ad-on
