WHY NONE OF THESE EVER DEVELOPED ??????
« on: November 07, 2011, 03:08:14 pm »
11/7/2011 - Jetranger here, I've been Flight simming bout' 10 years now, and out of all the web sites, seeing all the add on's from scenery to aircraft to tools,,, I recently tried searching for something I thought by now some Scenery Developer would of taken up ! That being Good Quality "Light Houses", ya ya know those tall round building that generally sit on the coastlines near the oceans and have a Light that revolves around in circles.  I like to fly fairly low in General Aircraft from Cessna Float planes to wheeled aircraft, along the coasts,, and I never see any Light houses anywhere ??  I wish I had the computer modeling skills for Gmax so I could Render a whole entire package of light houses for the west coast of the US and the East Coast, as well as the upper north lakes region and down south too from Florida to Texas - also europe and Australia,, be nice to see whole packages, instead of single seperate downloads, for example for the west coast, a package of like 12 to 15 light houses spread out from Washington State to Southern California, all with Revolving lights, either Textured in Brick or Stone, and made to look nice and not all childish like square boxy dumb looking stuff. Can it be that hard for those already who have modeling / texture skills, maybe even have some general Aircraft boat docks at the base of the Light house too !!  I was just wondering why nobody has jumped on this yet, in all these years ??? With so many Float planes thats been developed in recent years.  That and it would give good VFR Guidance to those just performing VFR flights at 2500ft to 3500ft. Well, anyway thats my thoughts - hopefully this Dream Team will take up the idea eventually and make files for "FSX" and also for those that have 2004 / fs9 version - I have FSX Gold Acceleration edition . Thank You , da, Jetranger (kmkc)

Why you just don't look for some good freeware lighthouses on avsim, go to Google Earth, locate the exact position of a few lh. and place them with Instant Scenery in FSX. In Munich for instance the default Television Tower was much too small. Correction was a matter of seconds. I think if you are only using it for yourself it might be okay.
