Developers extremely need user feedback!

This Is really appreciated, especially in a global mod! a Dev can't know everything, so usually a compromise Is needed

With report like this (and the other kind guys) i can select the type of pylons based upon country also, and know i know that germany Needs more "tannebaum"

Thanks again!

The UK pylons are mostly like the German ones too.  Fantastic addon!

Would be nice if folks could share airports and approaches where you can see the ski lifts and where cables are obstacles, example: Locher airfield. 

Here is an example:

Here is the author's ski lift mod:

He also created a nice little Italian regional airport in Trento, Northern Italy:

Nice Idea Ricardo!

I Will provide and extraction for both pylon and lifts close to Airport 🤓

First of all thanks for this add on. To me it's clear that it cant be perfect on the first try, so keep up the good work.

I noticed the "round things" Semor mentioned in the Netherlands to. I think that the German style masts are more in line what is used in the Netherlands.

Although you start to see more and more concrete poles like the ones in the link

https://architectenweb.nl/nieuws/artikel.aspx?ID=21636

 

I have one question: how do you determine what a solar park is and where it's located?  I looked at two solar parks I'm familiar with (one bigger, one smaller) that's not included.

Will go through the nederlands pylons too!

 

Can you please tell me more about position of the missing solar farms? The data comes from open street Map, It isn't Always perfect nor complete

Keep in mind that solar farms actual coverage Is different that powerlines One!

Just flown the National Grid line out of Hinckley Point to the sub station near Taunton. Absolutely fantastic mod and I can't thank the Dev enough. The pylons from Hinckley Point are spot on but nearing the sub station there are a number of lines with non UK pylons which have a sort of ring on top. Maybe they aren't this mod? Carrying on down the line to the South West the pylons are fine. In fact this mod is simply fantastic.

Amazing work, both the pylons/powerlines and the lifts mod! Thank you very much for enhancing our flying experience even more. If you want/need pics of Luxembourg/Benelux type of pylons, feel free to ask anytime.

Super job, Mamu!

When you do North America, you might consider models selectable based on icing conditions.  (Around Montreal 23 years ago)

In case somebody wonders, I am joking... you never know.   But it was not a joke then: over a week without heat or light or, worse still, flight sim!

Gotta be honest here, if this were a commercial developer, they'd charge you for the

a) power lines

b) the cable cars

c) the solar farms

and then nickle and dime you some more with "regional packages".

So, hats off to all the modders who dedicate their time to making the MSFS world more accurate and immersive. 

...and just so you know: if this or any other mod ever goes commercial...well, I'll be the first one to congratulate you and whip out the Visa.

Coordinate seems to be near Amsterdam, at the moment Solar farms are in Italy, Spain, France and Germany, but gonna go through the whole Europe for sure, Just a matter of time, please wait for an update 😉

What source, maps are you using to be able to see where all powerlines and solar parks, are placed? Just asking, if I maybe can find a source for Denmark which apparently is missing in this first version?
