    Mount Rainier National Park Fire Lookouts Package - Image 1

    Description

    This package combines my four Mount Rainier fire lookouts, with all the people, helicopters, and effects removed. This was requested by a user who wished to experience the solitude of being alone in a fire watch tower. The original lookouts can be found here:

    Mt Fremont

    Tolmie Peak

    Shriner Peak

    Gobblers Knob

     

    Notes on the MSFS 2024 version

    I have made numerous modifications for the 2024 version, including changes to vegitation and terrain. I have also removed the low-res furniture inside the lookouts and added several new interior props, many of which were introduced with 2024. As before, there are no additional libraries required. Every lookout has different interior props, so those who enjoy hanging out inside will have new things to look for in each building! The pictures are all from the 2024 version. I think you will agree that the views from the lookouts in MSFS 2024 are truly stunning!

    The 2020 version is unchanged.

    UPDATE: Version 1.2 -- 

    The MSFS 2024 version is now walk-around compatible. You can walk up the stairs, around the outer porch, and enter the lookout through the door at the top of the stairs. I have also edited the buildings so that no rain or snow will fall inside (although snow does still accumulate inside). These lookouts are wonderful places to watch a thunderstorm, and now you won't get wet!

    The MSFS 2020 version is unchanged.

    Notes

    To install the scenery for MSFS 2024, merely unzip and place the folder titled “mulberrywing-rainier-lookouts-24” in your 2024 community folder. To install the scenery for MSFS 2020, unzip and place the folder titled “mulberrywing-rainier-lookouts” in your 2020 community folder. Both versions are in the same zip file.

    There may be a conflict if you include both this package and any of the original lookouts. Please delete the original lookouts from your community folder before adding this one.

    This made for a great morning flight around Mt. Rainier in the Savage Grravel. I wasn't able to get my avatar up the lookout at Tolmie Peak but was able to finesse my way up the others. Great work!

    Thanks for letting me know. I used to be able to make stairs accessible by building an invisible ramp with a collision material. Now I seem to have some trouble using this technique. I wonder if there were changes in SU4 that affected this.

    BTW, if you landed a plane on those peaks, I am very impressed!

    Great package, obviously a lot of work has been done on these, hopefully you'll create more. The Shriner one has shifted a bit, does this happen only at my end? v1.2 FS24 https://i.vgy.me/IpX93k.jpg

    Hi GreySkies: You're right -- the building has shifted a small amount. I didn't notice when I checked out each of the lookouts. I put the new building in precisely the same position as the old one, so I'm not quite sure why it has moved. Maybe the Google Map elevation data has changed slightly from when I originally placed the buildings. I don't think it looks too bad. If you're OK with it, I won't update it, since I don't want people to have to download the file again.

    The shift is trivial in my opinion and doesn't bother me.

    I believe you can do a silent update on uploads on this site if you do it as a minor update. I haven't tried it.

    Hi Emery: I think you mean being able to go up the stairs and walk around inside. I haven't tried that yet, but it's a neat idea. Let me see what I can figure out.

    I just uploaded a new walk-around version for MSFS 2024. It's pretty cool, especially in VR! Thanks again for the suggestion!

    Thank you for the MSFS2024 update. I would give it 5 stars if I could, but I don't see an option to do so when writing the comment.

    Nice work.. Would be appreciated if the 2020 DL is separate from the 2024 DL so that the end user can select which DL they require for their specific sim. (yes, some have and maintain both 202 and 2024 sims but others may only have one of them).

    Sorry, I intended to do this, but couldn't get it to work. The second file kept overwriting the first file. I didn't want to confuse people as I tried to sort it out, so I just uploaded the combined file. Perhaps I can get this to work with an original upload, rather than with an update.

    Do you think that you could maybe make a fire watch tower with a basic interior that reaches high over the trees? Obviously it takes modeling and time so its just a simple request for when you have nothing else to really do.

    I've been thinking about doing a tall fire lookout. There are a few in Michigan that could work out well. MSFS 2024 has some nice interior assets that might work on the inside.
