Description
*This add-on may or may not be of use with the latest updates as there were updates to the london area and orbx add-ons since it's release. I don't plan on updating this add-on as was only meant to be scenery enhancement.*
Here is My River Thames water height fix and uncovering of hidden features under the water.
This add-on should have zero impact on your performance in the sim.
This works with default London scenery and if only using the EGLC airport add-on
There is a separate file in the zip file for use with Orbx EGLC airport add-on, had to do this due to patches in the water around the runways, because objects were removed from the water in the EGLC add-on.
To add this file, just unzip the file into the community folder, then delete the file you don't need.
You will see the following files, delete the one you don't need: - thameswater for default&londoncitypack
- thameswater for Orbx EGLC add-on
if you have EGLC combined with either the default or London city pack you should add the "thameswater for orbx EGLC add-on" file to the community folder only and delete the other. Do not add both to the community folder or neither will show up in the sim.
If you don't have the EGLC airport add on, then add the file "thameswater for default&londoncitypack" to the community folder and delete the other. Do not add both to the community folder or neither will show up in the sim.
If you have other add-ons such as Orbx London city pack, If you find your Microsoft flight sim content.xml file open with notepad and re-order my fix under the Orbx London city pack you will get my fixes combined with Orbx buildings looks ace. (I AM NOT TO BLAME IF YOU MESS UP YOUR content.xml file.)
If you wish to reward my efforts for this add-on any donations are much appreciated, I will never charge for my add-ons and hope they enhance your Microsoft Flight Simulator experience.

I can now only recommend this Thames add-on for use with the flight sims default London scenery or Orbx EGLC airport add-on, as with changes in the Orbx London city pack version 1.1.0 the 2 add-ons clash in places.

As for the crashes not sure there is any way I can help with that unfortunately as it works fine for me but i don't have the EGLC add-on.
I have seen others complain of crashes with the eglc add-on without my Thames add on in the past not saying its related to this. I assume you have tried it without my add-on to check it works ok without? Not sure there is anything I can do to help unfortunately. If anyone else has the eglc and london landmarks add-on let me know if the same thing happens to you? if I get a few having the same thing happen with this same combination of add-ons I will send a ticket to the official flight sim zendesk reporter.

Just one other question did you make sure to delete the other file from the zip file before adding to the community folder as per my installation instructions?

Do not add both to the community folder or neither will show up in the sim.
If you don't have the EGLC airport add on then add the file "thameswater for default&londoncitypack" to the community folder and delete the other.
Do not add both to the community folder or neither will show up in the sim.
Sorry if I didn't explain it well in the add-on notes. sucks that it requires a separate version depending what orbx add-on you have.
