    Dear AxeV, thanks for this nice addition. I live nearby, so whenever I go cycling in real life, I can see this tower from a distance all the time. Great to have it in the simulator now as well!!!
    I was wondering: I would like to use this next to the addon "We Love VFR" by PuffinFlight, also posted here on flightsim.to. The thing is though, that addon superimposes its generic red-and-white mast on top of your accurate replica. According to PuffinFlight, this could be solved by changing the order of the packages in contents.xml, provided that you used an "exclusion rectangle" to remove everything underneath your scenery. I did change the contents.xml file, but that did not have any effect, so I guess you did not use such an "exclusion rectangle". I have no idea how difficult or how much work it would be to add such an "exclusion rectangle" (or whether I might even add it to your model myself), but could you consider doing this, so your addon will be compatible with "We Love VFR"? Thanks!

    Thanks for the headsup. I wasn't aware of this We love VFR issue, since I've made the model before that addon was released. I'll try to find a solution and later work on an update for the antennas and such. Finding time to do this is the biggest issue lately though, but I'll do my best.

    Dear AxeV, I completely understand the time constraints. Thank you for your work and consideration. You are contributing at least. I myself have only been downloading so far. I would like to start giving back too, but first need to find the time to learn Blender...

    You're welcome. FYI before I come up with deconflicting that We love VFR MOD I will change the model first before the new update will be released.

    New model? Wow. I think it is perfect already!

    Yes, the changes are almost finished ;-) Antennas. lights, platforms with satellite dishes, and the drawing of 'Man bijt hond' on this tower.

    I've placed an exclusion rectangle and hopefully, that will solve the conflict with We love VFR. Be sure my MOD is placed below that other MOD in de contents.xml file. The rectangle is very small (only beneath my tower MOD, because otherwise, the surrounding buildings will vanish and to me, that's not acceptable. If that still doesn't solve it's up to you to make a choice. Greetings, AxeV

    Perfect! It looks great now! No conflict anymore whatsoever. Now I just have to wait for the one who made the radio tower in Lelystad to do the same thing and I can use "We Love VFR" without a problem (there are a few other conflicts, but I care less about those). Thanks!

    You're most welcome. I'm happy I could help. What are the other conflicts you mentioned?

    Z

    about 5 years ago

    Sorry for the late reply, I have been busy with work. The other conflicts that I encountered so far are: the TV tower in Lelystad that I mentioned already, the TV tower in Goes, a TV tower in The Hague that conflicts with the scenery provided by Matt88 (that's hardly noticable, but the tower occurs twice, once from We Love VFR and once from Matt88's scenery), the TV tower and several pipes in Rotterdam Harbour conflict similarly with the scenery by Geraldar98 (but again, this is noticable only from rather close by), the Gerbrandy tower near IJsselstein (but for that one the bug is a feature ;-) : the tower provided by ... you actually ;-), does not have the characteristic spanning lines, but the generic tower from We Love VFR does; since the tower of We Love VFR is smaller and disappears within yours, the conflict actually adds spanning lines to your tower, so I like the effect of that conflict :) )

    Thanks for letting me know. So, I guess the only thing I need to update is the other TV towers I've uploaded. With the Gerbrandy I'll wait with an update until I've found a solution to put in those guy cables. It will take some time to solve, but it's now on top of my priorities list.

    I just wanted to thank you for keeping your mods compatible with my glorified autogen ;) Too bad I can't detect sceneries "above" mine to just move out of the way.

    I don’t understand what the problem is with your scenery. Is my MOD causing somekind of conflict? If so, let me know and maybe I can help you to solve it.

    The way I understand the comment from PuffinFlight is that he thanks you because there is NO conflict with his scenery anymore after you added the exclusion rectangle to remove the "autogen" tower from his scenery.

    And I think he apologized that he could not sort this out himself, because, if he would add exclusion rectangles in his huge scenery, he would be removing dedicated (hence probably more accurate) objects all over Europe.

    Version History

    Changes version 2.5 - Changed the logo into the current one used (image of a dog which represents a tv program called 'man bijt hond' - Changed the lights a bit - Added levels with satellite dishes - replaced antenna tower with a model made in blender. Note: when you also use the MOD 'We love VFR' and you seem to have a conflict with it (tower of We love VFR MOD is still showing), then change the loading order of the MODs in the content.xml. The flight simulator loads up all mods in order that is set in that file. So be sure you putt my mod below the 'We love VFR mod on the list. Hopefully, it'll work and otherwise, I'll come with another solution.
