FSX Morecambe Bay Gas Rigs Scenery

Morecambe Bay gas rigs bring a distinctive offshore landmark to VFR flights just west of Blackpool, adding realistic industrial detail to the UK coastline. Designed for FSX, the scenery places the platforms as custom objects with matching effects, making low-level approaches and coastal navigation more immersive and visually convincing.

Scenery Morecambe Bay Gas Rigs. Gas rigs in Morecambe-Bay, slightly west of Blackpool, UK. By Neil Birch.

Morecambe Bay Gas Rigs Scenery.

Just placed the gas rigs in Morecambe-Bay just West of Blackpool. My map is quite old so I hope they are in the correct place.

Place the bgls in an active scenery folder and the fx file in the effects folder within the main FSX folder.
