Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station Scenery.

I don't remember whether I actually got any custom lighting to work right in FS 2004 or not. I remember it was painful. This is another library of objects aimed at the freeware developer. Some I've used in my sceneries and some I haven't. It's a little bit of everything from single lights to stadium lighting to tarmac lighting. All objects are native FSX and built with GMAX and the SP-2/Acceleration SDK. All lights wash the ground and have a "lit" presentation in addition to the ground wash during the hours between dusk and dawn.

Here are the GUID's, Friendly names, and descriptions of the various lights:

8D8361104A590919C3EDDB836C396F21 roundspot This is an individual light of the same type as on the large poles.

D90A315E4C4F5992BAFDF6924B6F67D3 4ltclstr Same pole as before, but an X bar on top of the pole with each of four lights pointing in the same direction as the X. This pole is striped red and white for visibility.

Requires dependencies

This add-on may require the following files to function properly. If this is a repaint, the dependency below is likely the base aircraft package.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. 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.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

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

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

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
