Taburet Power Lines - BIG Disappointment

Recommended Posts

Purchased (10.49 Euro) the Taburet Washington & Oregon Powerlines.  I lived in that area for 40+ years and did a lot of skiing and bicycle riding under those lines and along the right of ways.  I guess I was expecting a little too much realism with this MSFS addon?

All I see flying a couple hundred feet above the Tacoma Narrows powerline crossing ( a mile wide with cables at 260' AGL at each pylon) is a series of white marker balls - each about 20' (yes twenty feet) from the previous and the next.  In real life the balls are 406' apart over the water and 116' apart over the residential area and invisible (in google earth pro on a 1080p monitor) at a distance of 300-feet. 

Flying over NW Tacoma (see attached screen shot) the 300KVa powerlines look like a string or white dots suspended in the air.  The white dots ruin any sense of immersion one might gain from having detailed power lines. 

I really cannot complain because the Taburet marketing pictures on the SimMarket website clearly show the ugly white balls extending forever.  I just did not look close enough at the marketing stuff. spacer.png
