    Great, looks very nice! Any conflict with the commercial German Landmarks package or the other freeware castle packages by virtuaero ?


    And... does it work with SU7?


    Many questions :)

    Just came here to let @Vihgdohr know... Is it possible to remove Hohenzollern only ourselves Vihgdohr? Still finding these POI's great. Thanks again! Steve

    I also thought about removing Hohenzollern. Any easy way to do it?

    Hi there, excellent work and perfect for my bushtrip that now features Hohenzollern and Lichtenstein https://flightsim.to/file/7006/south-german-roundtrip. Have you considered Hohentwiel near Singen? That would be a very nice addition.

    Vielen Dank für dei Aufwertung Württembergs im MSFS !
    Eine Bitte hätte ich:
    "Die Grabkapelle auf dem Württemberg"
    Ein Pflichtmeldepunkt für jeden, er einen Tropfen schwäbisches Blut in den Adern hat (schade, daß es hier kene Smilies gibt) deshalb LOL

    Hallo,
    danke für Deine tollen Burgen! Fir an Schwoba isch des fei wirklich a ganz a tolle Sach!
    Die neue Version 5.0 ist super. Die Sichtbarkeit von Burg Teck ist nun wirklich von weitem toll! Schön ist auch die Ruine Reussenstein. Beides ganz toll für VFR!
    Nicht ganz glücklich bin ich allerdings mit Burg Lichtenstein. Die ist bereits in der Scenery 'Project Reutlingen' von fra320 vorhanden. Deine Version ist zwar umfassender und detailreicher, die andere ist dafür klarer und größer. Vielleicht sogar etwa zu groß - aber als VFR-Punkt sehr gut.
    Könntest Du Deine Burg Lichtenstein-Variante vielleicht als Option gestalten? Dann könnte man mal das eine, mal das andere 'anfliegen'. Das wäre genial!
    Viel Spaß beim Gestalten weiterer schwäbischer Burgen!

    Danke danke danke. Es ist wirklich ein Traum endlich so tolle Burgen in den MSFS zu bekommen. Ich freue mich schon auf die folgenden...

    Prima, wie Du dich um das Projekt kümmerst.
    Nebenbei: Was ich im Simulator schmerzlich vermisse sind Kirchen in Deutschland. Geht bestimmt Vielen so. Das brauchen eigendlich auch nur generierte sein. Städte ohne Kirchen sehen einfach nicht vollständig aus.

    Hi Vihgdohr...first of all a big thank you, that you are taking care of the castles in this (or our) area...really great work...one question: can you probably check back on the distance visibility / scale of the Teck castle? Especially from the Hahnweide the castle is hardly to see. But again: Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    Kind rgds

    P.S. Any plans for the next castles? (like Lichtenstein or Wielandstein()

    I've noticed the problem with the visibility of the teck as well. Therefore I have adjusted the size a bit in V5. Now it should be a little better to see.
    In addition, V5 now also includes the castles Lichtenstein and Reussenstein from the region. Have fun with it :)
