November 23, 20232 yr I know this has been asked by many people. Yes, the Hollywood sign is in MSFS, though it doesn't stick out as much as in earlier versions. To find it, fly to downtown LA, then head about 320 degrees. It is on a cliff, with an observatory (or whatever it is) overlooking it.

Spoken by someone that doesn't know the area very well I see hahaha. Its on a hill, hence the Hollywood hills 😉 Quote with an observatory (or whatever it is) overlooking it. Griffith Observatory.

November 23, 20232 yr Not to be outdone, windy Wellington NZ has a sign on a hillside you can go look at too! Interestingly in a nod to our Academy award winning animation creators, Weta Workshop, it was nearly going to be called 'Wellywood' with the headquarters of Weta Workshop just to the left out of frame. You know Weta Workshop right? It creates all those animations..The Hobbit, Avatar etc. Here's the filmograpy of their incredible work: https://www.wetaworkshop.com/filmography/.

November 23, 20232 yr So in this day and age we need forum posts explaining how to find a structure on the planet? People not able to navigate around using Google Maps?

November 24, 20232 yr 17 minutes ago, andyjohnston.net said: Yes, explaining how to find a location in the Sim. And you can't do that by just looking at an online map? It's not rocket science! With Bing Maps you don't even need to translate what you found out in any way. You just right click on the location, copy the GPS Coordinates into the clipboard and paste that into the Map View in MSFS which will put you in the air right at that location. In the case of the Hollywood Sign, just type in "Hollywood Sign" in Bing maps, then right click on the marker and you get this: 34,133499, -118,321800 Now copy that into the search function of the map in MSFS. Done. And you were giving people directions... 😄 Edited November 24, 20232 yr by Farlis
November 24, 20232 yr Author Some people would rather fly to it, and because it doesn't stick out like in older versions of the sim, I'm just posting this for people who wish to find it. Maybe they'll come through Google or whatever. Do you insist on being this disagreeable with everyone? Edited November 24, 20232 yr by andyjohnston.net

Or do you save it up until you are behind your keyboard? I have to admit, I'ver never seen anyone ask about the Hollywood sign, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. However, I definitely wouldn't characterize it as "many people". So, yeah - this was a pretty random post and not something I would think many people struggle with. But, to each their own. I don't think Farlis was trying to be disagreeable, but was probably also sharing my sentiments, either way - that last snarky bit was probably unwarranted.

At one point, there were a number of people asking about the sign, and many ended up saying it wasn't there. It could be I'm late to the party and anyone who cared has moved on. Wouldn't be the first time I'm behind everyone else.
