Description
This was our first project using the Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 SDK. The scenery consists of The Humber Bridge. The Humber Bridge connects the East Riding of Yorkshire with North Linconshire, England. The Humber Bridge was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world up until 1998.
With version 3 we are back with the full bridge model as we can now exclude the ASOBO model that came along with the UK update last year. We have added a lot of additional signage, blended it in better with the scene and added the maintenance cradles and cabling. We've also modified the collision physics so that you can fly under as well as land on the road deck, but take note that the cables and towes are now collidable too.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 0.9, PLEASE DELETE THE hmbrbrdg DIRECTORY FROM YOUR COMMUNITY FOLDER. If upgrading from 1.0 PLEASE DELETE THE uk-humber-estuary folder.
Please see the attached PDF file inside the zip file which covers: Installation; Finding the community folder; Licensing; Credits; Contacts; Change Log.
See you in the Sim!

We can't control the loading order and have raised this with Microsoft support to see if there is a fix in the pipeline.
The vehicles run along specified paths in a loop, so they should follow the bridge collider once they reach the foreshores and make the return journey.

Hi Chris
got the new version but it's still pretty much the same from the south i see traffic approaching the bridge road then disappear. same with the north end. however, i see the odd one or two cars travelling over the bridge then disappear. can you take a look at this when you're not so busy.

Hi David.
Sorry for the confusion, we have removed the auto-gen traffic because it still wasn't following the deck correctly and, specifying the deck as a road means you can't fly under it. We'll add our own traffic at some point in the future.

Hi Chris
David "Air637" asked me to design the Ouse Bridge, just West of your bridge. I was able to have the traffic running on the deck, by having the road material as a transparent layer over the deck. With that, I can fly under the bridge, or land on it, but not with a 347. lol
I tried to gently ride down the river under the Ouse bridge with the iconA5, but hit an invisible wall in the water. It seems that we can't remove that.
Sincerely

Hi David!
Long time no see! Thanks for downloading the updated version. We are indeed stuck with the disappearing default traffic but have been able to stop it before reaching the bridge and falling into the river. We have to stop the traffic at those points otherwise the road section of the bridge becomes collidable down to water level meaning you can't fly under the road deck, if we were to use default traffic.
There are two vehicles which travel down the road deck from time to time which are our assets, and experimental at the moment, the animation is quite time consuming.
We are considering making a commercial version of our Humber project with much enhanced models including the Airports, fields and near by notable buildings such as HRI etc. The lowest price we can retail this at is 14.99 USD/Euro, bearing in mind a substantial cut goes to the sales vendor, and we estimate at least two months work (full time) to produce something comparable in quality with our other pay-ware releases.
Please let us know if you would be interested, or anybody else, please drop us a comment.
All the best! Chris.

Hi Ant,
Have you downloaded all of the free World Updates from the Marketplace? This scenery uses the cables from the ASOBO bridge that came with the UK update.
All the best,
Chris

Hi Ant,
Yes that's the correct update. Let me check with some other users to see if they are having the same issue. Historically this was our first scenery for FS2020 pre UK world update. When that update came out, it had our Humber Bridge AND ASOBO Humber Bridge. For reasons unknown at the time, the ASOBO version couldn't be removed, so we wrapped around their road deck and towers, leaving their suspenders visible. I've just done a quick test today, and I CAN now remove the ASOBO bridge, so it could be that it's getting excluded, taking away the cables in the process. Good news for us if that's the case, we can put back our full model. Bear with us whilst we get it all sorted out. And welcome to FS2020 :)
