Frying Pan Shoals Light was a lighthouse located on Frying Pan Shoals (en), a sandbar about 63 km from Southport and 51 km from Bald Head Island in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The lighthouse, commissioned in 1964, resembles a steel oil drilling platform, known as the "Texas Tower", resting on four steel legs. It marks the shoals at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. The platform has two levels. The first floor has a living area of approximately 460 m² and includes eight bedrooms, a kitchen, office, storage, recreation area and toilet facilities. The upper level is a helipad and corner light tower. It replaced the lightship WLV-115 Frying-Pan1 The tower, deactivated in 2003, is currently privately owned and was until 2018 a guest house, and is known to have survived several major tropical storms. Restored by donated funds, the tower will be used for research, education and training. The lighthouse is accessible by helicopter and boat.
The display of the characters requires the following libraries, many thanks to them and especially to trfsto (Windy Things) for the directional American flag.

This fully 3d textured hotel platform features seven furnished rooms, a lounge with pool table and chairs, a bar and a fully equipped kitchen. After leaving your helicopter and using the drone, you can visit this accommodation area by descending the staircase located in the lighthouse tower. As you climb the stairs, you will have access to the top of the lighthouse.
While exploring this area, some nice surprises await you...

DESCRIPTION
Le phare de Frying Pan Shoals (en anglais : Frying Pan Shoals Light), était un phare situé sur le Frying Pan Shoals (en), un banc de sable à environ 63 km de Southport et à 51 km de Bald Head Island dans le Comté de Brunswick en Caroline du Nord.
Le phare, mis en service en 1964, ressemble à une plate-forme de forage pétrolier en acier, appelée "tour Texas", reposant sur quatre pieds en acier. Il marque les hauts-fonds au confluent de la rivière Cape Fear et de l'océan Atlantique. La plate-forme est composée de deux étages. Le premier étage à une surface habitable d'environ 460 m² comprenant sept chambres à coucher, une cuisine, un bureau, un espace de stockage, une zone de loisirs et des toilettes. Il a remplacé le bateau-phare WLV-115 Frying-Pan1 La plateforme, désactivée en 2003, est actuellement une propriété privée et a été jusqu'en 2018 une chambre d'hôtes. Elle est également connue pour avoir survécu à plusieurs tempêtes tropicales importantes. Restaurée grâce à des dons, la tour est utilisée pour la recherche, l'éducation et la formation. Le phare est accessible par hélicoptère et par bateau. (Wikipedia)
L'affichage des personnages nécessite les librairies suivantes, un grand merci à eux et a particulièrement à trfsto (Windy Things) pour le drapeau américian directionnel.

Looks like an amazing add on and it is fun to fly to. I do have one problem. This is probably an error on me, but I cannot get inside the living area. My drone camera gets in through the door and then immediately pops up to the roof level. How do I get it so that my drone ignores walls and stays where I put it?

Hello Vortac12, To move into the living area, you have to go down the stairs in the tower, as if you were actually there. All the walls and flat surfaces outside are "hard" so you can't go "through".

Wow, this looks incredible. Any chance you can add this, and the last French onland lighthouse to your lighthouse pack to save us having extra inividual files? Your files are small enough and all high quality enough that probably most of us will want all of them so a single pack option is great. Either way thanks, for doing these, absolute top quality.

I have just put the complete package on the site.

This is truly a remarkable scenery add on. You can use the drone mode to go into the various rooms of the tower and climb the stairs up to the top of the light. The detail is incredible. Thank you very much for your exceptional work! Please continue with more.

When I use drone mode to try and go into the tower, once I am inside, my drone immediately pops back up to the roof level. How do I get it so the drone can move around inside?
