This package of bridges includes modeled bridges, modeled locks, bridge lighting, improved locks, river traffic, and water masks along the Danube River in Austria.
The photogrammetry (pg) in Vienna and Linz after World Update 18 has improved the bridges at the expense of creating beach like conditions around the bridges so the overall effect is still not realistic.
A choice had to be made: create models to replace the pg bridges and enable water improvements thereby providing a realistic result but with more time and cost; or, keep the pg bridges and improve the water around the bridge even though the water under the pg bridge cannot be improved.
The choice taken was to retain the pg bridges and keep the cost as low as possible while maximising the realism within the limitations of the sim.
Photogrammetry does not include bridge lighting so lighting has been added to pg bridges and model bridges where they are lit in real life.
All models created have POIs.
The area covered is from Jochenstein Locks just north of the Niederranna Bridge in the west and ends just east of Vienna near LOWW as shown in one of the photos.
If you've ever seen this area in real life you know the landscape, castles, churches, and bridges are what stand out in your memory. The improved recreation of these bridges and shoreline so completes the reliving of those memories. If you've never toured here before this gives a wonderful sample what it really looks like. Fly the BD5 low and fast along the Danube and you'll get some real thrills... especially if you also have a powerlines add on! Thank you for another high value addition to MSFS.
