If you try to make a map for Sturmovik with too high an elevation, then the resulting map is something of a flop. Any height above a certain cutoff point (4500m more or less I think) becomes flat, like a very flat plateau - or Devils Tower to give a Close Encounters look to it.

And since the Himalayas are way way above 4500m, the result will be unusable.

I just did a tryout on a map of Iran today, the Elbruz mountains I believe had a peak above the cutoff height and it showed up as a flat, and I mean very flat mountaintop. Funny and cute, and maybe OK for a small mountain top. But the Himalayas are a whole different piece of cake ...

A shame, but there you have it.

Could you model a rather large object for the peak?

Can mountain be made to have a finished heigth 'of' 4500M, course you couldn't fly over it but might be an accomplishment.

Just for the fun of it I did a start-up map of the Himalaya, part of it at any rate. You can load it for yourself should you wish, but it is out of kilt that there is nothing you can do with it.

I took a standard load.ini with standard textures, so those are not included.

Just add the following line to your all.ini:

Himalaya Himalaya/load.ini

Unzip the directory Himalaya into your maps folders as usual:

...MODS/MapMods/Maps ....

Fly around a few times, then i recommend an uninstall and a delete of the whole folder ...
