Lighthouse and Breakwater lighthouse
Overview
- Lighthouse(white) and Breakwater lighthouse(red stripe) modeled by shakueast / @ShakuEast
(with breakwater add-on.)
- Fancy light effect by ranmori / @RanmoriScythe
- Light from far miles away

Description
This is an add-on for p3d v5/v4.4+ which puts lighthouses on the earth.
This is created just for my GA-VFR flight.
But It may also be useful for you.
Best used with for my breakwaters add-on.
The location, type and heading of these lighthouses are based on the OpenStreetMap.
This add-on have two types of lighthouse; White on the land and Red/White stripes on the breakwater.
Both attached an effect that rotate light to visible from far mile away at night.
The object model is made by shakueast / @ShakuEast and effect is made by ranmori / @RanmoriScythe.
This add-on have no breakwaters par se.
If you see a breakwater lighthouse on the sea that you can use with my breakwater add-on for breakwater lighthouse on breakwater.
Install
Copy "ti_lighthouse" folder to "Documents\<Your Prepar3d Version> Add-ons"

Q. Other scenery compatibilities?
A. No matter that.
But If some of the objects overlaps with another add-on, you can delete it from my add-on using the bgl2xml tool.
Identify the file containing the object by the method below, then;
- extract the base xml form the file using bgl2xml,
- delete the specific SceneryObject tag(s) from the xml
- and re-compile it using bglcomp.exe in the p3d SDK.
or just delete the file.
The naming rules for bgl as follows:
"lighthouse_<latitude>,<longitude>.bgl"
the file includes data from <latitude>,<longitude> to <latitude+15>,<longitude+15>.
yes, 15 degrees so exactly 900nm square per file.
Q. That tower is built in the sea!
A. Same here.
Because your(and my) simulator vector data is not the same as OSM.
I am not going to fix it because too many tower in the world!
But if use with my breakwater add-on may reduce this issue by appeared breakwaters.

Using p3d v5 sdk.
OSM data updated for 2020.05.01.
2020.05.05
lighthouse model and effect is now made by shakueast and ranmori.(thank you!)

Description
This is an add-on for p3d v4.4 that put breakwaters around the world.
This is created just for my GA-VFR flight.
But It may also be useful for you.
The location and shape are based on the OpenStreetMap.

Q. Other senery compatibilities?
A. No matter that.
But if some of the objects overlaps with another add-on, you can delete it from my add-on using the bgl2xml tool.
Identify the file containing the object by the method below, then;
- extract the base xml form the file using bgl2xml,
- delete the specific SceneryObject tag(s) from the xml
- and re-compile it using bglcomp.exe in the p3d SDK.
or just delete the file.
The naming rules for bgl as follows:
"3xxxx.bgl"
The number is EPSG code for UTM zone.
you will use this site ( http://spatialreference.org/ ) and search the code to find which files contain the areas.
unfortunately, cvx????.blg may not de-compile. you can just delete that.
