New developer Time Machine Designs is excited to announce the development of our first scenery addon for MSFS. “Hadrian’s Wall 180” reconstructs the great Roman wall that stretches east to west across England as it appeared in the year 180AD / CE. Our addon will allow simmers to experience the wor…

Thanks all, much appreciated and have passed onto the team. Being so much younger they are playing it unbearably cool! [image] MeusMagister: this is a ray of shunshine. Hopefully the sun will break through properly on '24 soon. [image] Vibstronium: it’s going to be really fun to explor…

[image] Aleo5069: The Athenian Acropolis is fully modeled as it looks today, though this presents another challenge to accurately capture the structures without much artistic creativity. You are right. One of the interesting challenges with Hadrian’s Wall has been how much we don’t know in t…

[image] MeusMagister: I would love to see a full “Britania 180AD” …with all the major coloniae, castra and connecting viae. However, if you and your team prefer to venture further afield, to what extent would detailed 3D models help? I beleive there at least two models of Constatinople and thr…

[image] FlightSimmer676: Trajan’s harbour at Ostia is very much there in the sim, quite close to Fiumicino airport… I have been looking at it in sim as well. The original complex and its canals were on a grand scale and I think would lend themselves to being reconstructed. It would be quite…

[image] MeusMagister: Yes. Terraforming coastlines and river courses to conform to what they were in the past would be an issue. So we are making a start experimenting with this on the rivers that the Wall crosses and which have now moved away from their course 2000 years ago, meaning that th…

Since the discussion has opened up in such a helpful way, I wonder if anyone reading the thread would like to help with our planning by answering this question? “What makes you interested in seeing this kind of heritage content in the sim?” Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

[image] PipsPriller: Ah…, wouldn’t it be great if MS/Asobo recongized the potential of the FS2020/24 for exploring the past and provided developers with quick methods of removing all man-made structures globallly (or by user-definable geographic areas) …as well as similar means of redefiining ec…

“What makes you interested in seeing this kind of heritage content in the sim?” Here are some of my reasons: I love history …especially historical novels that attempt to illustrate how people in the past perceived and interacted with their human and natural environments. If “a [2D] picture [o…

@PipsPriller I am excited to hear that you plan to bring Edward’s castles to MSFS. Visiting them is high on my bucket list. I appreciate that there are only so many hours in a day and so many days in a lifespan, but since we are just “blue skying” here, I like @SmotheryVase665 ’s concept of “Eras” a…

[image] PipsPriller: We have spent a lot of time debating whether we should focus on Britannia and I have to say I am torn. The idea of flying over Roman Britain is really compelling, but I also have a lot of other sites and periods that I want to work on. Of course, if Hadrian’s Wall is a ragi…

[image] PipsPriller: “What makes you interested in seeing this kind of heritage content in the sim?” The sim in its current state only represents above-ground features, however, the real world also consists of quite some subterranean structures. One way to expose such a lack was to reconstr…

Indeed! - the functionality that I call “Eras”, as I wrote about here:
