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.

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 😊

So glad you made this, I was so disappointed it wasn't included in the World Update

yeah it's really weird that they included the kelpies but not the wheel

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

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!

MostlyRandom 9 month(s) ago

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

kaosfere 9 month(s) ago

You should just be able to edit the manifest.json as a quick fix, but you'll probably want to update the project configuration so that the change sticks the next time you compile it. I'd either do it through the dev mode editor, or if you want to avoid that, just edit the package definition file (in PackageDefinitions, if you've followed the typical project structure) directly. Thanks for considering this. 😊

MostlyRandom 9 month(s) ago

I doubt I'll be recompiling it so I've just edited the Json as a quick fix for now and I'll make sure that any future projects have all the correct data entered

Sounds great. Thanks a lot! 😊

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

MostlyRandom 12 month(s) ago

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

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" 😊

MostlyRandom 12 month(s) ago

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

My crazy ancestors, they'll build anything. This thing is soo cool. I've seen lochs but not like this, Thanks dude !

MostlyRandom 12 month(s) ago

yeah we Scots like to think differently 😊
why build boring old locks when you can build something like this

I love this. It looks absolutely superb and absolutely no performance weirdness.

MostlyRandom 12 month(s) ago

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
