ddavid 149 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks, Ray - excellent work - now we know what we're crashing into!! BTW - I'm completely stumped on the yellow walls you've built in Southern Scotland - no doubt you can explain... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
flybytes 34 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hello Dai, The yellow lines are in fact more than 2,000 labels showing location of each electricity pylon in the largest of the object placement files in Southern Scotland. There are other files used which would fill the gaps around Southern Scotland but I can only display one file at a time in FSX Object Placement Tool. I was about to explain this and tag more screenshots in Photobucket when my PC started to crash - just had time to hit the post button. The previous time I used photobucket something similar happened - I'm very suspicious of that web site as I normally have a very stable PC. Welcome any feedback - I don't have a quality control department, so if I've dropped any clangers please let me know. The pylons in the Scottish valleys do look impressive as you fly at low level - although in real life a bit of a blot on the beautiful landscape! Chhers, Ray. Link to post Share on other sites

flybytes 34 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 My Photobucket account is behaving itself today so here are the screenshots of some FSX Power Project v4.1 features in the Scotland - South area:- Some very remote pylons: Whitelee Wind Farm - 140 turbines: Grangemouth power station & docks on the horizon: One of many smaller electrical sub-stations: One of the numerous larger sub-stations: Regards, Ray.

mutley 4,487 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wow Ray, they certainly have an impact on the landscape, thanks for sharing. Link to post Share on other sites

Christopher Low 63 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Ray, Are you intending to build Dungeness Nuclear Power Station at some point? It would be a nice landmark to see when flying to and from Lydd. By the way, I am the Chris Low that you corresponded with via email a few times. I noticed that version 4.1 of the FSX Power Project had a few extra wind farms, and a larger pylon network file than I had installed, so I joined this site, and grabbed it!

ddavid 149 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Glad you found us, Chris - Welcome aboard! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
chrissykes 0 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 thanks for new version, i also joined the site to get the 4.1 as it had the new windfarm off Skegness! Are you able to add the two wind turbines between Burgh Le Marsh, Croft and Wainfleet near Skegness? Link to post Share on other sites
flybytes 34 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hello Chris, welcome to this site & apology for delayed reply! The time I can devote to FSXPP has been much curtailed this year (due to family illness), so whilst models of more power stations are a possibility - don't hold your breath. Chrissykes (another Chris?), the location of the FSXPP scenery models are mostly taken directly from what can be seen in the Horizon photo-scenery or Google Earth. Unfortunately the data for both can be years out-of-date which is a particular problem with the wind turbines. The location data for the off-shore turbines has mostly been taken from the Kingfisher marine charts. The Google Streetview images within Google Earth are usually much more recent and can give an approximate position, but I'm not too happy using this relatively innacurate method of positioning. If I can obtain the coordinates for the wind farms you mentioned I will incorporate them into the project. I have been working on a version 4.2 which does for Horizon Scotland North what v4.1 did for Scotland South - currently adds approx' 3,500 pylons to the North of Scotland, plus many more wind farms. Am having difficulty finding any pylons in the North-West of Scotland - maybe because there aren't any? V4.2 will also include a model of the Monar dam - here is a preview: Regards, Ray.

chrissykes 0 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes we are everywhere!!! Thanks for the reply, thats understandable i will also see if i can find any information, i have also spotted one (row near the coastline) of the wind turbines in the Skegness farms is out of alignment with the others?

chrissykes 0 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi i found this on the RWE website, showing rough locations, http://www.rwe.com/web/cms/mediablob/en/311238/data/311230/1/rwe-innogy/sites/wind-onshore/united-kingdom/in-operation/site-location/Site-Location.pdf Bing Maps location of turbines; http://binged.it/QFUvCQ Maybe this helps?

flybytes 34 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks for the info' Chris, have placed the two wind turbines into FSX - The Hollies wind farm. Here's how they look: Message me if you would like to receive the .bgl file. Your query about one of the Inner Dowsing wind turbines being out of position - I assume you are looking at the 5th turbine on the landward/western column (counting from Nth to Sth). This offset is shown in the Admiralty chart - the occasional offset of 1 or more turbines appears to be fairly common for most offshore wind farms - I'm sure the constructors must have good reasons for doing it. For your information the Inner Dowsing chart can be found here: http://rssmarine.co....ns_with-map.pdf Cheers, Ray. Link to post Share on other sites
chrissykes 0 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 thanks got your email, thanks for pointing the correct information out as i never knew this was intentional. Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Nice to hear from you, Ray. I am looking forward to version 4.2 with the pylons for Scotland North. That model of the Monar Dam also looks good Link to post Share on other sites
flybytes 34 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Chris, have e-mailed you my current pylons folder. As already stated, I am having trouble finding pylons in NW Scotland which is one of the reasons for delaying release of FSXPP v4.2. My mother had a stroke two days ago, so my time for the project is much diminished, but hopefully v4.2 will be released before next Christmas. Regards, Ray. Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Sorry to hear about your mother, Ray. I hope she makes a swift recovery. Link to post Share on other sites
flybytes 34 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks, Chris. My mother is already much better - fortunately I was there when she had the stroke and treatment was fairly prompt. Her speech is back to normal & movement of her left hand is coming back, she has left hospital & is in an excellent stroke rehab' unit. Cheers, Ray. Link to post Share on other sites
