    Uetliberg TV Tower and Lookout Tower Zurich/Zürich, Switzerland - Image 1

    Description

    The city of Zürich, Switzerland has two prominent towers on it's southern hill "Uetliberg".
    A broadcasting tower and a lookout tower.
    Zürich is not the same without them... ;)

    Please let me know if you notice any lag or other performance hick ups.
    I placed some lights, but they are not yet as accurate as I want them. So I might improve that in the future.
    If you know how to place strong red lights, please let me know.

    Enjoy the assets. To install them, simply unzip the folder and drop it into your Community folder of FS2020.

    The towers are located roughly at coordinates 47.350452 8.491501

    This mod is compatible with the We Love VFR - Region 1 mod

    And again: if anyone knows how to place strong red lights in the scene, please let me know! :)

    Thank you very much for your efforts, must be really annoying sometimes - Let's hope they fix such things soon

    On my system the tall radio/tv tower is completely missing despite giving the scenery pack highest priority (i.e. prefixed with zz-).

    Really? That's odd. Have you installed World Update 18? You need that.

    Indeed, that was the problem - after installing WU18 it's looking good... Thanks a lot!

    Wunderbar etwas aus meiner Heimat zu geniessen. Wenn du dich an Heliport getraust, wäre USZ, Kispi, Triemli, Limmatalspital, KSW, Bülach und sicher noch einiges mehr zu tun. Ich kann es leider nicht und bin begeistert für jeden Moder

    Great mod!
    For the red lights this might help maybe?

    Thanks a lot! :)
    Regarding the tutorial: Yes, I saw that. The problem with that technique is: It only renders the lights when you are rather close... but what I need is a red, strong beacon light that is visible from miles away. But that unfortunatelly doesn not work with that technique.
    I need something like the city lights in MSFS2020. They are visible from quite far away... that's what I would need.

    Thank you! I implented it myself as an import from googlemaps, however your model looks like you modeled it yourself. In Blender or in which program?

    Thank you. Yes, I modeled it myself.
    I modeled and textured in CINEMA 4D, then took it to Blender for exporting to MSFS2020.
    I simply modeled and textured it in CINEMA 4D since I'm most familiar with that. I don't really know Blender.
    But you could do the whole thing in Blender, no problem.
    I sent you also a private message. Check it out ;)

    Ah, okay I got it! My bad! Put in wrong place inadvertently. Duh!

    So I did the drag and drop. It did not overwrite the older version I have of this. Is there going to be a conflict? Do I need to delete the older file and if so what is the name it is under?
    THEOLI4DAuthor

    Well the folder of the new version has the same name like the old version.
    So I would recommend to just delete the old folder first from your Community folder if you downloaded a previous version, and then just drop the new version.

    Version History

    A first quick fix to make it compatible with World Update 18 (DE/AT/CH) You will also need my "Swiss mountains tree fix (trees on mountains removed)" Mod. Please note that the terrain of Uetliberg is quite a mess since World Update 18... they did some very strange stuff to the terrain and it's not even possible to remove some of the wrong trees :/ So... it's not ideal... but better than nothing ^^ I hope I can improve it further... but don't know when.
