Description
This add-on brings you all sorts of maritime structures on and around the Azores islands. It includes every single harbour signal, using newly made generic assets. I could not create every single one of them with the correct light sequences, sorry.
I plan on creating every lighthouse from scratch too, the ones I have so far you can see on the chart in the photos. I'll update over time when I finish the others.
Of course I went off my initial plans and also started making custom harbour walls, port structures and other sights around the islands too, like the port of Ponta Delgada, POIs have been set, have fun exploring. If you have any recommendations for structures to add, feel free to comment!
Thanks to my Discord friends for the help and support!
Version 0.7:
not as much as I'd hoped for, see changelog, I just have more fun modelling than texturing lately :( But I learned how to work with heightmap rectangles for much more precise terraform work.
I did a lot of work on Corvo, but then decided to develop it as a standalone scenery and not as part of this, as I did not include any airfield work in this here so far, it would just become cluttered both on my end and on yours as the user. I haven't had much feedback so no clue what to focus on really. But Corvo has never been done as proper handcrafted for neither the 2020 nor 2024 yet, despite being the westernmost airport of Europe and the EU.
Version 0.6:
tons of general bug fixing tinkering, new models for structures, see the changelog below. I especially created like half the Ponta Delgada waterfront so far.
I'd appreciate a beer or coffee or tea donation ;-)

This add-on has no dependencies as I make all my assets from scratch myself, according to the stricter LOD guidelines we had before SU3, oh well.
Please DO NOT use this add-on together with AZORES (PORTUGAL) IMPROVEMENTS -fix for ts LPLA and mk studios LPPD by Slipnoidz, as it severly clashes with this addon.
It should work okay-ish, but cause weird terrain glitches when using with DEM / ETM10 Enhanced Terrain Mesh 10m for Azores Archipelago - version 1.1.0 by Gjanosh61. I'd recommend not using it, as blending between DEM add-ons and handmade terraform changes causes hard borders for the moment (as of 20.09.2025, SU3)

Maritime structures of the Azores Islands (handcrafted, WIP)
This add-on enhances the maritime landscape of the Azores Islands by introducing handcrafted structures, including various harbors, signal systems, custom harbor walls, and port facilities. It features a work-in-progress collection of lighthouses and points of interest, with ongoing updates planned as more structures are developed. All assets are created from scratch, ensuring independence from other add-ons while adhering to LOD guidelines, though users are advised against combining it with specific existing mods due to potential conflicts.

Version History
0.7 release - waterpoly work at Corvo and Flores - height map work on both ends of Sao Jorge - started modelling Farol de Ponta do Topo - early model of Pontas dos Rosais, needs lights still - terraform work on Capelinhos area, preparation for lighthouse ruin - detailled modelling/texturing of Capelinhos lighthouse ruin and circular museum/cafe thingy - further work on Pico Magdalena harbour area, new height map, pool, actual ferry terminal building - Farol da Ferraria modelled, terraforming around its area - ! moved work on Corvo into a separate project. Goal now to remake the whole airport as a standalone, maybe payware - big terraform work on the Ponta Delgada harbour, replacing a dozen polygons with one big terraform rectangle. Should work better with payware versions of LPPD now - added last remaining planned buildings for the Ponta Delgada waterfront. Still needs texturing
