X-Plane 11/10 Wind Turbine

An animated wind turbine model brings believable renewable energy landmarks to coastal or inland scenery, with smooth blade rotation for close fly-bys and distant approaches. Built from photographic textures in SketchUp and converted with Marginal’s SketchUp2XPlane utility, it fits naturally into X-Plane 11/10 environments on land or at sea.
