Vertical poles with red lights?

Featured Replies

I flew into Sacramento today and there were about 50 vertical poles with red lights on them.  What's with this?  I've seen the poles at other airports too.  Isn't there a way to remove them from P3dv5?  I researched it but cannot find a link to removing these obvious anomalies. Your help is much appreciated.

When P3D got released they updated the terrain and all of the wind mills, antennas and anything else that wasn’t a building got autogenerated as an antenna. I don’t believe there’s a way to remove them.

 The ones around and within the airport perimeters you can remove with ADE. The others you can just remove them by removing/rename or disable hazards.bgl in the Scenery\Global\scenery folder.

Keep in mind this removes all hazards including all antennas, etc.

100% and while I am fully aware of their importance in real life, they are just an eye sore in the sim. If they were better, then I would have kept them.

Thank you.  I seem to remember that fix from the forum years ago, but I never really took note of it.  It wasn't bothering me at the time.  I really appreciate the tip on "re-naming" the hazards bgl.  I'm sure it will work.
