When Asobos rivers work, they look great - but they usually look like a chimpanzee attempted to color in the lines. This mod removes the autogenerated rivers, leaving only the photo-imagery for the entire island of New Guinea. Lakes will still remain (since too often clouds are reflected in the photoimagery and it looks poor so I left that type alone), and many of the large rivers are preserved as well since they do not appear to use the 'river' water type, and look ok to me.
I find this much more pleasing than seeing a river making 90 degree bends and climbing cliff-faces, and being able to see the true colors of these rivers is fantastic, however please note: this is no silver bullet. The photoimagery is not perfect at times, but I find those instances of poor scenery to be much less frequent than the bad autogen placement.
To install, simply unzip and drop into Community folder. Remove to uninstall.
This is my first mod, so any and all feedback is most welcome. If I did something stupid, please let me know! If something needs to be fixed I will certainly try my best - however I am no modder, just a guy who watched some YT vids and had a couple hours to kill. I made this for my own use as I fly around PNG, but hopefully others find it useful as well.

The scenery needs to be in a folder before it is extracted to the Community Folder, such as badgers-png-noriver or something appropriate in lowercase letters and no spaces without periods or underlines or dashes. This may cause problems with users who don't understand the MSFS file structure

is the file structure correct ?. there is no main file folder, just the individual "contentinfo/scenery and .json files. i havent seen this type of structure before without a header folder..
Thanks
