    iniBuilds x SamScene3D Hong Kong Compatibility Mod - Image 1

    Description

    Partial compatibility for iniBuilds Hong Kong POI and SamScene3D Hong Kong City Times sceneries.

    Drop all folders into applicable 'Community' or 'Community24' folder. Overwrite for ICC and Shun Tak Centre night lighting changes, do not overwrite if not desired.

    Features:

    • Removes (or occludes) SamScene3D buildings and replaced with iniBuilds versions except for Harcourt House
    • Changed Shun Tak Centre night lighting to be less obtrusive to the eyes at night (especially heli ops for VHSS)
    • Removed ICC iniBuilds spinning cogwheels logo, but preserved iniBuilds title text
    • Added various Star Ferry vessels to applicable locations so piers don't seem as barren
    • Removed container ship from VHHH Runway 25R protected area

    I may consider adding additional building night lighting options depending on real world references I can obtain.

    Note:
    Due to some buildings being placed as clusters but as 1 object, some buildings are unable to be removed without removing the entire cluster. Due to this, several buildings have duplicates and clipping, or are placed in slightly offset positions. Every effort was made to reduce clipping and visual artifacts minimal.

    Known issues:

    • Standard Charter Bank Building duplicated and clipping on the south side
    • CITIC Tower duplicated and clipping on the southwest side with the middle hole showing SamScene model
    • Central Government Complex duplicated and clipping
    • Tamar Park location offset and slightly too far north
    • Wan Chai Helipad HK07 materials texture issue (not caused by this mod, source unknown)
    • Everbright Centre incorrect model substituted
    • China Resources Building incorrect model substituted
    • Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Kowloon Canton Railway Clok Tower, Kowloon Public Pier, Hong Kong Space Museum positioned slightly too far south
    • TST Star Ferry Pier duplicated and clipping

    I'm not sure what to do with your "inibuilds-airport-vhhz-pois", i can't find this file name in the inibuilds folder so i don't know where to overwrite the files.

    i managed to find the inibuilds-modellib/texture folder, i could copy paste your files in there, however, where should i paste your layout.json file to?

    Could you make a short vid of installation ifpossible? Thank you

    Don't worry about that folder then, just drop the other ones into your Community folder

    It is not an individual package. You must paste this folder and overwrite it onto existing ini VHHZ poi. I will get around to updating the description and folder hierarchy.

    I made a typo in the files for the ini vhhz poi. In anycase, every user may have a different installation directory for the ini vhhz poi. You'll have to find it and overwrite it with corresponding files.

    iniBuilds x SamScene3D Hong Kong Compatibility Mod

    This mod enhances compatibility between iniBuilds Hong Kong POI and SamScene3D Hong Kong City Times sceneries for Microsoft Flight Simulator. It replaces or occludes selected SamScene3D buildings with iniBuilds versions, refines night lighting for key landmarks, and adds Star Ferry vessels to improve realism. Some building duplication and minor visual artifacts may occur due to technical limitations. The add-on offers partial integration while minimizing conflicts between the two sceneries.
