    Blackpool Front - Image 1

    Description

    Photogrammetry of Blackpool front with night lighting.

    Unzip 3 folders to your Community folder.

     

    It has come to my attention that some custom nightlighting is missing in this upload including pier liighting and the Pleasure beach.

    If you already have any of my other packages then you will already have the nightlighting folder but for those who only have this package I will provide a fix soon.

    In themeanwhile you can use the custom night lighting folder from one of my other packages aa a W/A but of course this means downloading the full package.

    Hi, sorry to hear your troubles.

    I have tested with SU5 and cannot reproduce your issue.

    If you did not update with an empty community folder this can cause issues and instability with existing scenery.

    I would advise to remove all scenery from your custom folder and run the sim.

    Then close the sim and replace the scenery in your custom folder and run the sim once more.

    It will take a little more time to load the game in, especially first time, but be patient.

    Then retry flying the Blackpool scenery.

    Alternatively you could uninstall the scenery and redownload and try again.

    Hope this helps.

    To be honest with you ive just bought that from Orbx and done my usual flight over fleetwood, down to Blackpool and then onto Liverpool, and im really disappointed, i really dont like it. Of course its got really detailed work in places, but overall, its not as good as the freeware on here. Take Blackpool, really detailed in the piers and places like the pleasure beach, but they have totally neglected the rest of the front, from a thousand feet plus, yours looks real, fantastic, the Orbx one is just plonked assets. Its the same with southport, done the pier lovely, but haven't put in the carousel or silcocks funland, or the chippy restaurant, which is actually part of the pier lol. Ive actually uninstalled it, and put back stuff from here, which overall is much better, The Orbx Great britain central, feels like a downgrade.

    Yeah I know what you mean. That is why I am trying to bridge the gap with a new series of complementary sceneries that maintain performance. People who prefer my complete sceneries cans till use them if they prefer of course. My new OrbX GB Central PG enhanced pack 1 (Manchester) should be up soon.

    I think that this is the best Blackpool scenery out at the moment. Actually I would like to see it expanded to the rest of the town. I have an old FS9 scenery which includes the illuminations at night and trams. It would be great to see that in this scenery. Great job thanks.

    Thanks for the stars and rating.
    Yes photogrammetry never holds up once you get to very low levels, it just isn't possible to get the resolution needed and if we could the performance would suffer terribly.
    If it looks good from few hundred feet then that is about the limit for now unfortunately and even then I have to make a few shortcuts that are less than perfect.

    This is pretty good stuff! With the limitations of photogrammetry in mind - performance is good all the way down to low levels. Scenery is best though at about 1000ft. Great scenery, good performance, overall a pretty neat job, defo 5 stars, thanks...

    here's a short video. Note: The FPS drops initially due to my encoding and editing software and nothing to do with MSFS2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iKZNxkBzks
