As a diversion from airport building with Superspud and missing my weekends away in North Wales, here are some VFR poi's. All custom built - some adapted from 3D Warehouse (all credits given) and some hand built by yours truly. They are not necessarily airport-build standard as they are meant to be viewed from the air, but I think they enhance the default scenery greatly.
Included are :
Menai Bridge (original model credit: Damo)
Britannia Bridge (original model credit: square fountain)
Snowdon summit centre
Snowdon trains
Bangor pier
Llandudno pier
Great Orme summit complex and station
Great Orme halfway station
Great Orme trams
Conwy Castle (original model credit: Bubus)
Conwy suspension bridge (original model credit: Bubus)
Conwy railway bridge
As this is a bit of a labour of love, I intend to improve and extend in between airport projects. Any suggestions welcome.

Should I delete this if I have the Orbx Central scenery?
3 years ago
Yes, delete this (and North Wales marinas if you have it) and use my North Wales POIs hand-crafted for OrbxGB. It just misses out the POIs Orbx have done. All seems to play well together!

hi mate do you intend to adapt this mod to work with the new orbx central England add on because your mod is cool but clashes with some of their stuff
3 years ago
I'll be getting the Orbx addon asap and see what needs doing. It's going to affect several of my POI mods, but, hey-ho, it'll keep me quiet for a few weeks!

This looks beautiful.
Shame Snowdon's summit doesn't exist. The caff looks great but the lacking terrain doesn't do it justice. There's maybe another file to improve the mountain range as you seem to have your hands full with buildings and whatnot.
Do you know if a good quality Caernarfon castle is in it yet?
All in all excited to put this on the simulator in my Air Cadets squadron

Thank you. There's a lot of terrain that could do with tweaking but it's not my area of expertise.
The UK update added in a pretty nice Caernarfon castle - I'm working on the marina there for the next update to my North Wales Marinas project :

All of this is very impressive! However, the Orme Summit Complex tram shed is missing the solar PV panels on the roof (there are quite a few on there, 54 I think, but since i did the drawings and specification for the project, I am pretty sure I still have the panel as a DWG if that is of any assistance)
What format do these object have to be in? The M-Sparc at Gaerwen would be a wonderful addition!
