Dedicated in 1932, the Wright Brothers National Memorial's tower is situated on top of Kill Devil Hill in North Carolina's Outer Banks. This hill was once a dune, and the site of many of the Wright brothers' first glider tests. The monument commemorates the brothers and their achievements in heavier-than-air flight.

 

Of all of the NC monuments to be missing in flight simulator, I thought this was a particularly relevant one. The whole monument is hand-crafted with custom PBR materials. Spawn in at KFFA airport (first flight airport) and you should easily locate Kill Devil Hill and the memorial a short distance away.

Known issues/shortcomings in 1.0:

  • - The Wright Brothers' busts are identical. I'm need more practice at modelling faces before I give those a finer touch :)
  • - There is more detailing on the sides of the memorial which are not represented in the current model
  • - I did add a light at the top of the tower, but have not yet figured out how to create something more like a lighthouse light that should really be there
