Megadyptes

Yeah they were ones that were in the KMZ Nick posted but took down. I guess they didn't make the final cut! I kinda remember posting in a wishlist thread years ago for the FSX/P3D version requesting some of these landmarks. I guess they were put down in a list for future and then ended up on a KMZ but then were never made. Shame as I really do want the BT Tower, it's very distinctive. It's in the photogrammetry but the photogrammetry looks bloody awful and melted. Hah didn't notice that on the features list. Will have to have a look for some when I get back on the sim.

It weren't a criticism of you mate. Cheers for providing the files even if they're not representative. I guess the Orbx Central discover map will show the Landmarks whenever they get around to updating that. I do prefer KMZs though, shame the devs don't really bother with them anymore, or documention in general. Ah well, c'est la vie.

Thanks for those. Bought this and using the KMZs to look around but it seems they must have removed some landmarks from the initial tests or maybe they were never there to begin with? Looking around my home city of Bristol and a few landmarks from the KMZs aren't showing for me: SS Great Britain, County Cricket Ground, BRI Chimney, Ikea and the Purdown BT Tower. The lack of the BT Tower is what strikes me as the most odd as it's a tall distinctive tower atop a steepish hill that you can see from many miles around which makes it a perfect VFR landmark. I guess it could be a problem on my end but I'm seeing other POIs such as the footy stadiums and cathedrals fine. Got Brandon tower though which is a tiny tower mostly obscured by trees. Priorities eh? Also the 'Hero' POIs are supposed to be the better modelled ones, right? The first Severn Bridge is marked as a 'Hero' yet looks pretty basic, the freeware one on flightsim.to is a lot better. And the 'Hero' Dower House model in Bristol is rotated around 180° from reality! lol. Had a look at some other POIs near me. God knows why they bothered modelling the Berkley Pill Range Lights. You can barely see them unless you're rubbing your face along the ground as they're really quite small. Makes the lack of the Purdown Tower even more baffling. Zoomed over to Tintern Abbey as it's quite a remarkable landmark IRL but in the base sim is some really awful looking autogen. They've plopped down a basic model of the main Abbey building but seems like they couldn't be bothered to exclude the other autogen buildings in the adjacent ruins which kinda ruins the effect. You can exclude that autogen very easily with a polygon, takes seconds to do in the SDK. Very low effort. That just seems to be the running theme with these Great Britain landmark packs though. It's all just a bit meh. Had another look further afield and there's no Birnbeck Pier at Weston nor the Burnham Pier and Hinkley Point is just autogen. Are all these actually missing or just not intended to be there at all and the KMZs are just out of date? Or an error with my install?

First time I've heard of it as well lol. Just seems to be a 17th century mansion. Went looking around the map for nuclear power stations as well, as they tend to be quite visually distinctive for VFR flight but the only one they seem to have modelled is Wylfa nuclear power station on Anglesey. Was hoping they would've modelled Sellafield. As an aside, is there a KMZ included with the download? The few Orbx releases I've purchased for MSFS don't seem to include any documentation at all anymore, you used to get a little bit of info about an airport and a chart but no more, not a big deal but a KMZ is pretty handy! Yeah there's the Orbx Central map but with a KMZ I could import the POI markers into something like Little Nav Map for easier flight planning, plus the old KMZs were also organised better with individual folders in Google Earth for the various types of POIs which would be handy here to only see castles or lighthouses for example... Well just bought it myself and no KMZ which is a bit of a disappointment but not the end of the world. Now onto flying!

Hmm, according to the Orbx Central map of included POIs the coverage stretches up to Berwick on the east coast but it only has lighthouses up there, no Bamburgh Castle which is a shame: Although Callaly Castle is included and that is north of Newcastle...

Dunno if you want completely removed airfields as well but EGTG Filton Airfield which was shut down in 2012 has been finally removed in v5. rip.
