Description
Version 1.2
Recompiled due to error with Sim Update 12 and the sandbanks not showing. This should fix it but there may still be the odd missing scenery tile that refuses to load occasionally. This has appeared since the last MSFS update but seems to be random with Bing imagery which makes me think it is an issue on the Bing server side. Hopefully this will get fixed by Microsoft.
Version 1.1
Extended coverage from Barrow-in-Furness up to Bowness-on-Solway
Version 1.0
Initial release
This is my second scenery modification to make the Sandbanks visible along UK beaches during low tide. This one covers the North West coast from Fleetwood up to Barrow-in-Furness.
Please note this is not perfect yet and may be updated further but currently shows a nice representation of the sandbanks at low tide where the Bing maps imagery allows.
Screeenshots are taken with ORBX Great Britain Central installed but this mod should work fine if you dont have ORBX.
For installation extract the included folder called " nw-sandbanks 1" into your MSFS Community folder.
Check out my other sandbank mods here: https://flightsim.to/profile/mgk07/uploads
Other areas may be covered in the future when time allows :)
Thanks,
Mark.

Hi, it seems it was broken! I've just recompiled and re uploaded which hopefully should fix it. I'll test all my other sandbank mods as well and update when I get the chance. Thanks for the heads up.

Fantastic work. Thank you. Your focus will surely be on the UK for now. However, I would be very happy if you would someday find the time and the mood to also enhance the East Frisian Islands (Germany) with such beautiful sandbanks.
Best regards

I’ve just uploaded the East Frisian Islands. It’s not perfect as the Bing images are patchy but see what you think :).

The sand banks add tremendously to the experience of flying in the coverage area. This mod once again proves that mother nature is the best abstract artist. Thank you for sharing her work with us! Very, very highly recommended!!!

Mark, thank you so much for doing this, an absolute transformation. It now looks like it should on low tide. Far more interesting than the default coasts :)

This hasn't been broken by a recent update, has it? Was flying over the Fylde coast at 10K and couldn't see the sandbanks.
