Scenery - Sydney Tower (Centrepoint Tower)
Submitted & Created by Oh_Gaz
Sydney is getting some love lately with the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 community, only yesterday did we post our Sydney Harbour Bridge freeware scenery, and today we’ve got Sydney’s 3rd most famous landmark (no idea whether the opera house or the bridge are first, but the tower is definitely third). If you’re a Sydneysider, flying around Sydney without Centrepoint Tower, or as it’s now called, Sydney Tower, feels just wrong. It’s like wearing Nike’s without the swoosh. Sure it might be the same level of comfort, but where’s the style and brand recognition? More importantly perhaps for simmers, if you’re flying over the CBD of Sydney, Sydney Tower is easy to see from high altitudes, making a crucial element for VFR flying around the city. It is the tallest building in the entire city after-all.
Creator, Oh_Gaz, said in his submission that he actually has over a hundred models of buildings all around Sydney, leftover from when he was building a map for a bus simulator. So we may see more of his work in the future! If anyone was developing a map for Melbourne Bus Simulator 2020, our city needs some addon loving - Eureka Tower anyone?
