MSFS 2020 scenery mods

This is my first attempt at importing Google maps telemetary data into FS2020. I chose my hometown of StAndrews as a good beginners project. Its not perfect but its much better than the generic buildings used by the sim. I’ve also removed a lot of the trees from the golf courses as they’re links courses next to the sea and don’t feature many trees in real life. Its all been an interesting learning curve though and I’m lookling forward to starting on something else now that I know what I’m doing.

StAndrews is known worldwide as the home of golf but it also features the oldest university in Scotland which is also the third oldest in the Western world. Its a town of great historical importance in Scotland and has the ruins of StAndrews cathedral and castle. The long West sands beach were made famous in the opening scenes of the film Chariots of Fire.

RAF Leuchars is very close for a quick flight over it it but I recommend planning a journey from Edinburgh airport and flying up the Fife coast.

The Riga Radio and TV Tower in Riga, Latvia is the tallest tower in the European Union. It was built between 1979 and 1989. Its highest point reaches 368.5 metres (1,209 ft), which makes it the third tallest tower in Europe (after the Ostankino Tower at 540 metres (1,770 ft) and the Kiev TV Tower at 385 metres (1,263 ft)) and the 16th tallest self-supporting tower in the world.

First mention of the St. Peter’s Church is in records dating to 1209. The church was of masonry construction and therefore undamaged by a city fire in Riga that year. The history of the church can be divided into three distinct periods: two associated with Gothic and Romanesque building styles and the third with the early Baroque period. The middle section of the church was built during the 13th century, which encompasses the first period. The only remnants of this period are located in the outer nave walls and on the inside of a few pillars in the nave, around which larger pillars were later built.

Originally there is a huge procedurally generated skyscraper building placed instead of tv tower, which doesn’t fit into city landscape. Churches are missing. Since there is no Google maps 3d data available for Riga to import from, I’m slowly making some models in Blender.

Installation: extract “Riga scenery” folder into community folder.
Uninstallation: delete “Riga scenery” folder from community folder.

Scenery of Zwolle (inner city) This time a nice high quality rendition of the city of Zwolle. Color corrected and extremely well blended in the surrounding default scenery. including real/default water for maximum realism. Corrected waters and canals by hand. Night lighting added to unique 3D buildings. I tried to find a good balance in performance vs visuals so that’s why the focus is on the inner part of the city. Happy VFR flying!

Known issues:
– Colors are corrected as far as possible but some textures can still be a bit off.
