Most of the 3D scenery objects in the default FS2002/FS2004 scenery for London, e.g. Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, etc., are inaccurately positioned and hence are  excluded from VFR Photographic Scenery in order to avoid visual anomalies such as the Houses of Parliament appearing in the middle of the River Thames.

While it is not possible to reposition all of these objects in the default scenery, there are some which have been implemented by Microsoft as 'library objects', and these can be made to fit with the photographic scenery. Visual Flight London Landmarks repositions these library objects and changes their size and orientation so that they match their true geographic positions as accurately as possible so that they can be used with VFR Photographic Scenery.

NEW! Visual Flight London! Coming soon from Visual Flight and Landmark Sceneries - 32 sq miles of custom designed 3D scenery for Central London from Battersea to Docklands. This will COMPLETELY REPLACE Visual Flight London Landmarks. More information: http://www.visualflight.net/london

Important

London Landmarks Scenery will be completely replaced by Visual Flight London when it is released. Please do not confuse the two! London Landmarks Scenery comprises a mere handful of repositioned default Microsoft library objects scattered across London, Visual Flight London comprises more than 5000 custom-designed objects covering the whole of Central London from Docklands to Battersea.

London Landmarks Scenery Features

The following default FS2002/FS2004 scenery objects are repositioned by the London Landmarks scenery:

Battersea Power Station, Buckingham Palace, Palace of Westminster, Royal Albert Hall, University of Greenwich, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Nelson's Column, Westminster Abbey, Hampton Court Palace, British Museum, Kensington Palace, County Hall, Somerset House, Treasury Building, Wembley Stadium, Wimbledon Stadium and the Millennium Dome.

Limitations

This free add-on is only useful to VFR Photographic Scenery users. It will cause problems on systems without the photo scenery installed. To avoid confusion, downloads are restricted to users of VFR Photographic Scenery. 

No other landmark features can or will be added to the scenery by Visual Flight, and no further improvements beyond what has already been done can or will be made.

The scenery is entirely unsupported and provided 'as is', and users may not contact Visual Flight to request changes or additions.  It has not been fully tested on FGS2004.

London Landmarks is only for use with VFR Photographic Scenery Volume 1 (available here from Getmapping), and is compatible with the following add-on scenery:
