Description
This representation of Hinkley Point Nuclear Power Station is an improvement over the autogen buildings, but is not using handcrafted models so is far from an an exact replica. I've made some creative use of generic Asobo assets for the buildings and clutter on site which means this probably doesn't hold up to close scrutiny but gives a decent overall impression of the facility from a distance - so please follow the civil aviation rules on restricted airspace around nuclear power stations and avoid getting too close! 😉
The first release has the main buildings for Hinkley Point A and B.
Future updates will add the construction site around Hinkley Point C, and possibly some more clutter and details in A and B.
DEPENDENCY: You will need World Update XII: New Zealand to get the substation structures. This is available free from the MSFS Marketplace.
Please leave a comment and review if you like this scenery 😃!

Well done, it's every bit as ugly as the real thing ! By that, it's a great representation and I will enjoy overflying on the way to Minehead to follow the railway up to Taunton.

Thanks! Yes it’s a bit of an eyesore isn’t it! Glad I could capture that ugliness fairly well - and I’ll definitely be adding a few more details soon. I want to put a few more buildings, especially to mask the baked-in shadows on the ground textures - and I realised I missed a quite prominent chimney stack.

Ah, that's a flight I've not done yet. I'll try a low and slow in the MW6 later.

Thanks for making this one Flak. Considering it's made from default objects it's very effective and detailed. Certainly considerably better than the default scenery (i.e. nothing there at all).
