Version 2.0 - updated to conform to new and stricted MSFS scenery requirements to avoid potential CTD issue.

Check out the Demo Video of the scenery and night lighting in action. Second half shows the late night in full color.

DESCRIPTION

This pack features enhanced scenery for Niagara Falls area (Canada/USA) with animated color-changing night illumination of the falls, to compliment default photogrammetry and autogen areas and default terrain fixes for maximum VFR flight enjoyment. I think this pack looks much better than default, and cyclic random color illumination of the falls at night looks really nice. The power generation dams are out of default photogrammetry area and were completely flat. I added them, and also replaced several fugly opaque bridges with proper transparent models.

 

FEATURES

• 3 LOD levels, minimizing FPS impact
• Photogrammetry is heavily edited and texture color, contrast and brightness is carefully corrected to match surrounding autogen scenery
• Custom night Niagara Falls lighting, multiple color-changing lights, Seneca Casino and Skylon tower beacons and colored facade illumination

SCENERY

• Horseshoe Falls – Canadian side night illumination
• Niagara Falls – USA side night illumination
• Whirlpool Rapids Bridge
• Whirlpool Rapids Railroad Bridge
• New York Power Authority dam and power station
• Sir Adam Beck No. 2 Generating Station (Ontario Generation)
• Lewiston-Queenston Bridge
• Peace Bridge
• Skylon tower top beacon and red night illumination
• Seneca Casino (US) facade cycling color night illumination

BUGS

• Because original bridges are removed, cars now drive on the bottom of the river instead of the new bridge. There is no way right know, as far as I know, to fix that. When SDK matures, there may be a way to let MSFS where to drive. It happens on all aftermarket bridges, as far as I know.
