The falkirk wheel boat lift in Scotland.
this one is hand modeled, it's just under 50K polygons so should have little impact on performance
I modeled it in Lightwave. there's a POI marker on it so it should be easy to find
the boat lift is the only one of it's kind in the world and it connects the union canal with the forth and clyde canal near the town of Falkirk which is around halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh

Absolutely brilliant! I was really surprised that Asobo didn't include it in the UK/Ireland update. They put The Kelpies in but left out the Falkirk Wheel which is just as iconic. Was really hoping that someone would make this mod, thank you! The mod is very, very well done.

Lovely, thank you for your contribution! Could you do the community a small additional favor, though, and make sure that your manifest files are complete in your releases? This one is lacking a title, which makes it hard to know just what's in any given package when you look at it later. Thanks!

Thank you for making this! I was browsing the new Uploads and found that... followed by half an hour or reading Wiki articles and watching Videos of this outstandig piece of engineering! I never knew this existed until you created that mod! And now I have to download this and see it "in person" 😊

thank you yeah it was a strange omission from the update. but I'm kinda glad they didn't do it or this mod would be redundant, it's also strange that they didn't touch Glasgow at all (but again that would have made a TON of my mods redundant :)

This is a fantastic model MR, works great with the Kelpies recently added by Asobo in UK update. The addition of the Spitfire Memorial in Grangemouth would be perfect for a trio of sightseeing pleasures.
Great work

can I just edit the manifest Json or do I need to rebuild the package from within the SDK?

A brilliant rendition & addition to the Sim. Could you, would you
please have a crack at the Kelpies? That would really make my day !

thanks. I doubt I'd attempt the kelpies, they are VERY complex structures

yeah it's an engineering masterpiece and is the only one of it's kind in the world (it's about 10 minutes drive from my house :) I didn't bother animating it because in real life it takes around 8 minutes to do half a revolution , moving that much water can't be done quick (each tank holds around 500 metric tons of water) flying over it in a plane you would never see it move

thank you, yeah I concentrated on keeping it relatively low polygon,a typical photogrammetry scenery will be around 100-200 thousand polygons (usually more), this is just under 50 thousand
