MSFS Scenery - Kassel office complex
The Wintershall Dea office building, the neighbouring H4-Hotel (a.k.a Town Hall Hotel) and the town hall itself (the Congress Palais) represent a prominent group of buildings in Kassel's West end. However, they are only poorly represented in the default scenery of the FS2020. This scenery add-on provides replacements for all of them.
The first north-south wings of the Wintershall Dea office were build in the mid-fifties of the previous century. Triggered by the ever growing needs for office space, the buildings were extended east-west in later decades. Today the office complex with its almost white surface is a prominent land mark in Kassel's west-end and a protected office building.
The H4-Hotel is a building of the 90s and was build together with a extensive refurbishment of the town hall interior. It is directly connected to the town hall.
The Town hall is the oldest building of the three, being built between 1911 and 1914 in a neo-classicistic style. With its modern extensions it is today a well accepted congress centre in the heart of Germany.
This add-on provides a quite realistic replacement of the office building, the H4-Hotel and the town hall. Working night textures and illuminations are provided in this version. From December 24 to December 27 a special Christmas night lighting is visible when approaching the offices from the West.

The two tall buildings of the Kassel incineration plant are a well visible land mark in Kassel's East. They may not be 100% accurate, but show what is visible from the outside of the plant. The new version adds some smaller buildings and chimneys visible when approaching the plant from the south.

MSFS Norddeich (GER) airport modification The Airport of Norddeich is the main airport servicing the islands of Juist and Norderney (the "Inselflieger"). This add-on removes false trees and bushes from the northern end of the airport and adds some kilometre of north sea dikes visible from the runway. I had tried to model the dikes using terra-forming polygons. However the results were not satisfying and were not displayed properly when looking at them from a larger distance. So I modelled the dikes in Blender. By Christian Grimsel

MSFS 2020 Scenery--Warkworth Castle and Coquet Bridge MSFS 2020 Scenery--Warkworth Castle and Coquet Bridge, UK. Warkworth castle is situated in the village of Warkworth in a loop of the river Coquet in the county of Northumberland (England). The Date when the castle was founded, is uncertain. It probably started as a wooden castle on a motte and was extended and modified through the centuries by its various owners. The bridge crossing the river Coquet is a fine example of a multi-span bridge with a defensive gateway. It is of the 14th century and was used for vehicular traffic until the 1960th. It is still open for pedestrians. This scenery replaces the houses of the default scenery with a more realistic castle model and adds the missing fortified medieval bridge, with this new version adding stairs to the main tower. By Christian Grimsel

MSFS: (Almost) no trees on Inner Hebrides The Microsoft flight simulator places quite a number of trees on the Inner Hebrides.

Current version includes the isles of Canna, Coll, Eigg, Muck, Rum and Tiree. By Christian Grimsel

MSFS Scenery - Cornish North Coast V3.0.0 The north coast of Cornwall is an impressive rocky coast with hardly any trees.

By Christian Grimsel

MSFS 2020 Scenery--Grebenstein Castle, Germany. Grebenstein Castle is situated on a basalt rock above the town of Grebenstein in N.-Hessia (GER), 2.5 km north of Kassel-Calden airport. It was rather a fortified house than a major castle, but has played its role in the area during medieval times. What is to be seen today are the outer walls of the former palas building. The castle walls and moat are no longer visible. This scenery removes vegetation from the castle site, adds the model of the castle remains and also removes some false water (lake or river) from the valley between the castle and the town center. The castle is illuminated at night time. By Christian Grimsel.

MSFS: The catholic parish church in Vellmar: The church was build for the catholic parish "Heilig Geist" (Holy Spirit) in 1976/1977 after an older church at a different site had become too small. Different to many other and especially older churches, the church room has an almost square shape where the benches gather around the altar. The default scenery shows an empty place at the site of the church. This add-on adds a model and provides day and night textures, the latter showing the colourful windows. Photos of the windows taken with kind permission of the parish. By Christian Grimsel

MSFS Scenery--Obervellmar Parish Church With Surrounding Buildings. The scenery adds the Obervellmar parish church and surrounding houses. The area - known as Filmare - was first mentioned in 775.

This latest version adds the buildings of the horse and carriage club near the church. By Christian Grimsel.

By Christian Grimsel.
