    Dundee & Tayside Landmarks & VFR Enhancements - Image 1

    Description

    This is a growing collection of custom built landmarks to improve VFR flying around Dundee and Tayside in the UK, as well as including many lightweight edits to the base scenery to fix various problems and issues.

    The following hand-crafted models are provided, all with realistic PBR textures, points of interest (where appropriate), and 2024-optimised LOD (level of detail) modelling:

    • The Law Hill War Memorial and Utility Building with Paco Graff artwork. Lights up at night, and also has its fire-beacon lit for significant occasions (Sep 25th, Oct 24th, Nov 11th, and Remembrance Sunday).
    • The Friarton Bridge
    • The Tay Road Bridge, correctly inclined from Dundee to Fife, with true-to-life varying span widths, shipping protection pontoons, illuminated road signs, street lights and marine transit lights.
    • Kinnoull Hill Tower
    • Buddon Ness (High) lighthouse, with rotating radar dish
    • Buddon Ness (Low) lighthouse
    • Cottages and shed near Buddon lighthouses
    • The Black Watch Monument
    • Menzieshill Water Tower
    • The Tay Road Bridge Obelisk
    • Chimney stack at Ninewells Hospital

    Plus:

    • Added picnic tables, benches, and cars around the Law
    • Added a better sim-model transmitter mast on the Law
    • Removed autogen houses and cottages from the allotments around the Law
    • Tidied up the roundabout hosting the Obelisk
    • Cleaned up and improved scenery around the Friarton Bridge
    • Removed hundreds of autogen houses and cottages posing as poly-tunnels in many surrounding fields
    • Modeled the solar farm at Bullionfield, near Invergowrie
    • Added proper grass to Slessor Gardens
    • Added the 100m climate mast at Balruddery Farm
    • Fixed the sizes of the wind turbines at the Innovation Parc (old Michelin Factory)
    • Added the chimney stacks near the Innovation Parc
    • Fixed the water masks and sunken ships around the port
    • Removed a building blocking both lanes of the A90
    • Removed a tree growing in the water in City Quay
    • Reinstated the sunken footbridge in City Quay (near the Unicorn)
    • Added the small wind turbine (albeit three bladed rather than two) near Ninewells Hospital
    • Fixed the Dighty Burn water overflowing the road in multiple locations

    This add-on is fully compatible with ORBX and UK2000 EGPN (Dundee Airport) and ORBX EU Great Britain North, all of which also improve Dundee and add a lot of POIs.

    Developed and tested on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 only.

    Would a proper Kinnoull Tower be something you could add? Right now it's a weird residential tower.

    Friarton Bridge is a big W. Feel free to do more around the nicer end of the Tay. ;)

    I use ORBX EGPN, ORBX GB North and Demoken's Dundee Photo scenery. All these work together well and your addon works fine with all of them. A really nice enhancement and thank you for sharing. I will keep an eye out for anything else you decide to create - Any other projects likely?

    Glad you like it. I'm still finding my feet with Blender and MSFS's dev mode, so I'll probably stick with trying to improve Dundee for now but who knows what the future may bring...
