    Hi skell300

    Just wondering if you have any plans to migrate your Channel Island content to MSFS 2024? (I miss seeing Castle Cornet !)

    Finally got myself a new PC. Expect to give 2024 a go very soon.

    Hello skell300!

    Thanks for makings this outstanding POIs for MSFS. I found you scenery by chance after I saw the ugly-massive Castle Cornet at the harbor of Guernsey after I've done some screenshots of UK2000's new Guernsey airport scenery for MSFS 2020 and 2024 for a later review on my FS Reviews page here:

    https://www.facebook.com/people/FS-Reviews/61567702222321

    Of course I will recommend your scenery as well.

    Cheers!

    Many thanks Bert for your kind words. I mainly concentrate on my home area of the North West of England and North Wales, but I too thought the Channel Islands needed some TLC . I'm going to give MSFS2024 a whirl after Christmas when the dust has settled a bit, and will revisit all my sceneries to tweak and improve as needed.

    Cheers to you

    This and the superspud mods definitely improve things on the islands, but I still don't see any German fortifications, so only 4 stars. While most of them are underground, the MP towers around the coasts should at least be visible. They were one of the main reasons I wanted to do some aerial sightseeing there, but going by the MSFS scenery, it's like WWII never happened! More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_fortification_of_Guernsey

    Edit: The MP towers have been added in the latest update, so I've added the 5th star to my review. Fair is fair.

    Thanks Skell, this looks awesome. Just wondering if the Alderney scenery will clash with Boundless Simulations excellent Aldnerney airport scenery? If there are some building clashes is it possible to remove them? I will check if you don't have that airport, I haven't installed your add on yet to test.

    I don't have that mod, I have Superspud's Alderney airport (I did some of the buildings for it).
    Do let me know if there are any problems as I am happy to adapt what I do to avoid conflicts with other sceneries.

    Thanks! Really cool!

    This is absolutely outstanding and makes a huge difference to the Channel Islands. It's great to see Elizabeth Castle and Castle Cornet as actual castles instead of the weird block of flats-style building from the auto-gen.

    I looked into doing some of this myself just to tidy-up things such as churches and some housing but I didn't have the skills to handcraft and the default models in the SDK are too limited. I appreciate the work and attention to detail you have put into this.

    If you're looking for further suggestions, adding churches would probably make a big difference. They define a great deal of the landscape and layout of the Channel Islands. There's also Fisherman's Cottage on Herm which is another iconic location (as indeed are the hotel, pub and tourist shops near the harbour in Herm).

    Thanks for the comments and the stars. I've nearly completed my next update - concentrating on Alderney. I'm enjoying working on the Channel Islands and will take a look at your suggestions for future updates.

    Once again, your encouragement is much appreciated.

    Thanks for the update skell300!

    Look forward to seeing the next one!

    Great Work
    A selection of the lighthouses and marks would be a great further addittion

    Thank you very much for this.
    The water tower on the approach to 27 at Guernsey is quiet a prominent feature flying in there IRL, it would add a lot to the realism of operating into Guernsey if you could consider adding that in the future ?
    In the mean time than you so much for replacing the office block that was masquerading as Castle Cornet ! Slightly more appropriate cranes would finish off the harbour area nicely .
    Cheers

    Thanks for the stars and the suggestions list. Superspud and I are working on something else for the next couple of weeks, but I will get back to the Channel Isles after that.

    With you on the TV mast - it's a useful landmark for the downwind on VFR circuits :)

    And I went to Elizabeth College!
