    Join our discord for support and the latest updates » Do you like flying VFR and watching the World below you? Do you sometimes feel that something is missing? We Love VFR is here to help you. We Love VFR is a free add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator that adds thousands of new VFR-friendly objects. In this version, you get communication, radio, and tv antennas, chimneys, cooling towers, radar domes, construction cranes, and satellite/radio telescope dishes, large crosses and... gers, also known as yurts! I have plans for many more. I spend countless hours developing this, so donations are very appreciated, but not mandatory If you still wish to donate, click here » ~150 000 objects were placed in region 3 Coverage of Asia, the Middle East, Australia and part of Oceania In this version, mobile communication, tv and radio antennas, chimneys, flare stacks, cooling towers, radar domes, construction cranes, satellite/radio telescope dishes, large and mountain peak crosses, and gers (yurts) Visual effects. Yup, we have smoking chimneys and cooling towers and fire coming from flare stacks. And yes, they do react to wind and even temperature. Puffin AI* - correct placement and appearance of objects** Incorporated data from various sources Over 100 custom models Lower spec PC friendly More planned How to install? Find your „Community” directory and just copy "a-puf-we-love-vfr-region3" folder there. That’s it. If you’re updating my addon, remove the old version before installing the new one. If you have a conflicting addon refer to the included ReadMe file. Warning: To get satellite dishes/radio telescopes you need "USA Points of Interest" and "Australia Points of Interest" by Asobo, from the official World Update USA and World Update Australia installed. It's available in the sim in the marketplace for free. I'm working on this alone and data in this region is far from perfect, so don't be mad if you see any errors, just report them to me so I can fix them If you see an object that you know but its appearance is wrong, join our discord and report it there. I'll try to add/fix it for the next version. Known Issues: My objects are switched off on photogrammetry to avoid conflicts (except mast and antennas). Unfortunately, photogrammetry boundaries are sometimes different than real photogrammetry coverage. Because of that, objects that are close to photogrammetry areas might not appear at all. I'm trying to figure out what to do with this. If you find a place like this, report it to me so I can fix it. *Not really AI. Just quite complex conditions and a lot of code, but AI sounds a lot better. **Depends on data availability.
  2. Yeah, I meant OpenStreetMap. My add-on relies mostly on it, but I'm incorporating more and more external data like FAA and such. I excluded antennas that had any tags connected to airports to avoid conflicts with custom sceneries and avoid causing some stupid errors. In one version I had 10 antennas just next to the runway at Dublin airport, because of misinterpreted data 😁
  3. Just FYI, I exclude NDB, ILS and similar antennas if they are marked as such in OSM. Hopefully one day I'll get to adding them properly, by extrecting data from MSFS. On the other hand, VOR antennas I've checked were all over the place. For example some in Antarctica that were in MSFS, were not there at all in real life. Will have to investigate it further.
  4. As tiger1962 mentioned my We Love VFR add-on currently covers Europe and North Africa. It adds antennas, chimneys, sat dishes/radio telescopes, radar domes, and construction cranes. I'm developing Americas region right now. Because of far worse OpenStreetMap data quality I had to develop a method to combine other data sources to it. So far results are promising, at least for the USA, Canada, and other countries covered by FAA data. Here is a shot I made during testing at the Ohio River. 100% auto-generated by my software, before any manual adjustments. Here's a link to Region 1 that might be helpful if you fly around Europe. https://flightsim.to/file/2605/we-love-vfr-region-1
