Description
Three seaplane bases that were missed in the sourthen area in volume 1 and a tourist destination.
George Inlet Lodge:
No start point here, because this is not a seaplane base. It is a tourist destination. Heading west from Ketchikan, its the first left. The lodge is on the left side of the channel. I have placed the dock there and created a custom version of the Lodge itself. Tourists from cruise ships visiting Ketchikan get an opportunity to ride tour boats around the inlet and pull their own dungeness crab from the waters of the inlet. The Lodge is known for its Crab Feast.
Hyder SPB (4Z7): Added the SPB, docks, the cannery, corrected the topography of the town, and added some buildings. Currently the town has little access to anything as normally they would do their shopping and more in the nearby town of Stewart B.C., but Canada has closed the border crossing between the U.S. and Canada due to Covid-19 concerns.
Metlakatla SPB (PAMM): Added the spb and docks. The town is a regularly scheduled for flights out of Ketchikan. The town itself is primarily first nation people and operates under their tribal law. Access to their dock, entering the town, even to visit, requires a special permit that can be obtained at the dock.
Tamgas Harbor SPB (Z43): Added the seaplane base and dock.

I'm trying to figure it out also. Tired of people simply saying "put it in your community folder" because that's simply crap. No one is telling us WHAT exactly to put in there. The add-ons in the community folder have a very specific structure to allow them to be loaded. NOTHING in the pier models folder follows any of the correct structure. Obviously something goes in there. Do we create a new folder? What of the files from the piers blender files goes in the folder we create? Do we need any of the normal file/folder structure? Anyone? Someone has made this work....Can't someone please help the rest of us?

Yes. Actually they created theirs to conflict with mine. Mine came first. Ask them to change theirs if you find a conflict

The conflicting airfield can be deactivated by removing the file "metlakatla-airport.bgl" from the RTMM folder.

How do you install the docks and piers library in order to see them? Looking at their download page, it sounds like it's just for developers. The folder structure is unlike anything else I've installed to the Community folder - including other libraries.
