• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Merlin2's British Cathedrals and Windsor Castle is uploaded

...and my apologies for being so tardy with the upload. This has been sitting on my HD for a couple of months. These handsome landmarks not only look great when you fly over them but are interesting to "drive" around as well! Apparently Luftwaffe aircrews used many of these cathedrals as landmarks during missions. They certainly make flying by the compass more reassuring!:isadizzy:
I have included a list of geographic coordinates which may come in handy for sightseers and mission builders.
BTW, if you think that the spire and roof of Salisbury cathedral looks a lurid shade of green, the original was sheathed in copper during the 19th C and was green until the roof was restored and the spire partially rebuilt a few years ago, so the green spire is close to what you would have seen in 1940-41.
cheers,
Mike
 
Sorry Rami....not destroyable. As far as I know no British cathedral (except Coventry) was damaged by the Luftwaffe. Of course, St. Pauls did get a bit scorched by the fires during the BoB.
Multi lod....not sure, but you can see them from some way off.
