FSX / P3D scenery

FSX Winter Hill TV Transmitter Scenery

Winter Hill TV Transmitter brings a prominent Manchester-area landmark into FSX with a custom 3D model placed on the moorland ridge, improving visual navigation and low-level VFR sightseeing across North West England. The scenery integrates cleanly with default terrain and adds an easy-to-spot reference point on approach or cross-country flights.

Extract the downloaded archive

Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
Place scenery in Addon Scenery

Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
Activate in Scenery Library

In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
Always read the included readme
