[In Development] Hadrian's Wall 180 for MSFS

[PipsPriller 12]

New developer Time Machine Designs is excited to announce the development of our first scenery addon for MSFS.

“Hadrian’s Wall 180” reconstructs the great Roman wall that stretches east to west across England as it appeared in the year 180AD / CE.

Our addon will allow simmers to experience the world’s first complete reconstruction of the entire Hadrian’s Wall system as it appeared at its peak.

Using individually modelled structures from ovens to fort HQ buildings we will bring you:

• 73 miles of wall
• 140 miles of earthworks and obstacles
• 152 turrets
• 78 Milecastles (small forts)
• 18 complete legionary forts and villages
• 4 bridges
• The complete Roman town of Coria (Corbridge)
• Retextured landscapes to remove modern towns, roads, buildings and quarries

The entire system is being modelled using the latest archaeological and historical research and in future posts we will tell you more about the unique partnership behind the project.

For now though, here are some initial work in progress shots.

I’m curious why you think it’s spam.

@PipsPriller, would you prefer this was in the MSFS forum?

If it is spam beacuse Avsim members are not interested in products in development then I am happy for the admins to delete the post.

However, i can assure you it is a real project.

Yes, very happy for it be moved if that is a more suitable place for it to be.  Thanks.

@PipsPriller, being a Brit I had no doubt about its authenticity.

Moving it now.

I've walked the wall coast to coast, and camped out next to it in mid-winter, so this is very interesting indeed - as long as it's accurate. 😉

It will be as accurate as we can make it - no Games of Thrones interpretation here! 

We are working with a couple academics who are Hadrian's Wall speciialists and they are signing off our design decisions.

Why don't you just call it "spam" if that's what you mean.  No "pure" needed.

@Delta111, perhaps this will convince you Hadrian’s Wall does exist…
