Tampa Bay Causeway Bridge missing

[Retinchet]

Hello Everybody,

When I reinstalled FS9, I noticed that the Tampa Bay Causeway Bridge missing from the bay. It looks so strange and empty without the bridge, and I was wondering how this problem can be fixed. I even applied the FS9 update, and the bridge was still missing. Can someone help me out here? Thanks so much.

On my setup which has the update to 9.1, there is a bridge out in the bay that goes nowhere. It is a small low bridge that ends in the middle of the bay. See screenshot. Possibly this is supposed to be the Courtney Campbell Causeway - is that the bridge you are referring to?

I see no other bridge in the area - even with my Scenery Density slider set to maximum.

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is missing of course. Now that would really make the area look better if it was there.

Thanks for responding. I am referring to the Courtney Campbell Causeway, and I could have sworn that it spanned the bay, unless it was never there in the first place. That bridge in your screen shot is present by the way. Maybe I had an add on in which the CC Causeway was present. I'll look around and see if I can find that particular add on. Thanks again for your help.

If you do find something, please post back. That bridge to nowhere looks ridiculous.

There is some photoreal scenery in the library for the Tampa Bay area.

2 parts...

st_peter.zip

and

tampa_pc.zip

They add many bridges to the area, though they are 2D only.

FREEFlow Florida might add them too - http://www.fs-freeflow.com/index.php?ind=downloads

I have not looked there yet.

Thanks for posting that info, StringBean. The St. Pete scenery was exactly what I needed. It turns out I installed the St. Pete scenery pack a few years ago (I had the same installation for quiet sometime). The bay looks so much better now; I still can't believe MS didn't have any of these bridges in the default scenery. Thanks again.
