Powerlines and Solar Farm

By Mamudesign

 

OVERVIEW

When you fly VFR, in real life, being near the ground leads to lot of dangers.

One of the most common one is the possibility you get caught in a power line (electricity transmission line)

MSFS has powerlines pylons, but no wire between them

 

With my addon I added the wires between each pylon for high voltage power lines (more than 60k volts).

Actual POWERLINES coverage includes: 

Germany,  United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic (Czechia), Greece, Portugal, Sweden, Hungary, Belarus, Austria, Serbia, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Slovakia, Norway, Ireland, Croatia, Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Estonia, Montenegro

and 

Australia!

versione 0.9.5 contains also 

USA, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Japan

 

SOLAR FARMS Coverage:

Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Great Britain, Benelux, Danmark and Canada

+United States and Greece from 0.9.7 update

 

The project coverage is gonna increse overtime

With this addon, along with my other add-on Project Lifts and the spectacular We love VFR by Puffinflight, the long time ago request:“Please add powerlines, gondalas, mast” from the MSFS Wishlist has been fulfilled, for free, by independent developers. Hey Asobo, that is 2 person work :D

 

FEATURING:

The project use Open Street Map data (the same source of Microsoft) for pylon placing

Each “line” (way) of the trasmission grid has a specific “voltage” and "number on cables" in the OSM data, i have assigned specific pylon and number of cables by using those value

if nr. of cables is not indicated,  lines up to 140k volts get 3-wire, line between 140k and 280k get 4-wires and lines above 280k volts will get a 6-wire setup (OSM data also has nr. of wires data, but is quiete unconsistent, so this is the deal)

 

To spice things up, and provide additional realism, I have crossed Powerlines data with Airports, major roads, rivers, and digital elevation model (SRTM1).

In this way i can detect where to place white and red marker balls for the cables and red/white painted pylons

Rules as folow:

  • Within Airport boundaries no pylons or wires are allowed
  • From each runways threshold, in an area 1500 meters long and 300 meters wide, powerline will have marker balls and red white pylons
  • When a wire cross a major river or major road marker balls are placed
  • Also, when a wire crosses a a major valley marker balls are placed  (more that 50 meters from the bottom of the valley to the base of the pylon, this make the ground-wire clearence to about 70/90 meters)

All the above rules may not follow individual countries regulations, but you know, is not a “Cable simulator”!

I did not notice any major FPS impact

SOLAR FARMS

Another thing that the sim was missing was Solar Panels / Solar Farms

So i did them! Basic implementation, but no more empy black-bluish fields

The data source is of course the Open Street Map database. When a single panel is mapped i’m placing it accordingly, while if an entire solar farm is mapped as an entire “area”, i’m filling it with regular patterns

I’m still working on the placing routines / solar panels aspect, so a limited number of countries is provided

Over extremely large solar farms, if too close, fps is gonna lower a bit

KNOWN ISSUES:

NEW: most of you wanted collision handling, so I have added it! It won't affect FPS, but there is a big known issue:

when a cable cross a road, there is some possibility that autogenerated road traffic cars will drive over the cables, the issue has been aknowledge by Asobo's Devs and hopefully will get fixed , more info on this 3d


https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/questions/5553/cars-follows-simple-shape-collisions.html

 

If you already know my Project Lifts scenery, the issues are the same:

To be able to place wires between pylons I NEED to know the exact altitude above sea level of each pylon at design time. Since there is no way to obtain the data from the sim itself i’m gathering them from free sources like SRTM1 (30 meters Digital Elevation Model). Those not alway match internal MSFS DEM

Therefore, sunken or overflying pylons are fairly common

 

INSTALLATION

The downloaded zip contain to main folders:

  • a-mamudesign-powerlines
  • a-mamudesign-solarFarms

In Each main folder there is folder called scenery/a-mamudesign-powerlines/scenery

Or scenery/a-mamudesign-solarFarms/scenery/

Those last foldes contain the actual compiled sceneries, in format contryName-placement.bgl and contryName-exclude.bgl

Since the sceneries contains MILIONS of objects placed, if you suffer for slow loading times you can simply delete or rename unwanted countries

 

NEW:

The included folder mamudesign-high-pylons contains Special scenery for the highest powerlines in europe:

- Elbe Crossing 1 & 2 near Hamburg (coordinate 53.60211835180482, 9.602438321475487)

- the Messina and Reggio power tower (dismissed)

It is totally optional, but I guarantee they are quite interesting structures!

 

 

COLLISION HANDLING HAS CHANGED!

 

If you want to disable collision handling, because you just wanna have fun or don't like cars riding the cables (see known issues)

 

inside the Community\a-mamudesign-powerlines\scenery\a-mamudesign-powerlines folder locate the 

 

powerlines-modelLibNew.BGL and rename it as powerlines-modelLibNew.disabled

 

and

 

powerlines-modelLib-noCollision.disabled and rename it as powerlines-modelLib-noCollision.bgl

This mod is very good, i really like having it in my simulator.
I have, however come across an area littered with solar panels.
Nederland, Colorado has way too many panels. (See image)

I verified that this add-on alone was causing mega stutters (up to 5 seconds in length) when loading in or approaching certain areas.

I also verified that this add-on was the sole cause of performace issues I was having (main thread getting slower when approaching arrival airport leading to about a 30% drop in FPS).

I also think this was causing random CTDs when loading into a flight. But I need to do more testing to verify that claim.

Anyway this has been the source of a lot of frustration over the past few months. The powerlines look really cool, and I wish I could keep using this add-on. However, I'm glad I tracked down this add-on as being the source of my problems, and I'm glad it's no longer in my Community folder. I would advise people to stop using this add-on, especially if you've been experiencing performance issues that you don't know the cause of.

I really hope that we are going to see more parts of the world get this treatment - it's amazing, and spectacualr, and makes the uncovered areas look, somehow, naked.

Great enhancements to the base sim. However at LFHU (mountain airport) I found a too high powerline on the final slope.
Is it possible to make it slighlty more parabolics between pylons ?

Hi Mamu. Thanks for the amazing add on. It really transforms the realism in the sim. However, over Johannesburg South Africa (FAOR), for some reason, the addon is causing severe intermittent stutters. The stutters are almost a complete freeze up for a half a second or so. I have a high end PC and a 4090 so it isn't my system that is the issue and I have removed the addon and it is perform. I add it back again and it causes the stutters. Tried redownloading it and it did the same thing. Could there possibly be a fix for this? I don't have this issue if I fly elsewhere. Thanks

Ohh thanks for the report, a real funny one! Basically I extracted solar farms from OSM inside so called Areas, that should define a country Nederland is a country, but a city too, so its area (city boundary) had been extracted and computed as large solar farm! you can download the fixed package here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xxTRW5Huuf7UD4nZfTkPikuMyxtHCHKU/view?usp=sharing

It still works in su13 (there is no reason it shouldn't) Suggest to clean up scenery indexes/ cache and make sure the add-on is properly inside the community

I get almost a 10 fps drop in performance with this active, anyone else have the issue (the power lines), i have a good system 4090 etc.

I did exactly as you wrote and the effect was that the power poles stopped appearing.

I've found that "powerlines" addon is somewhat interfering with PMS GTN750 and taxing fps when on maps screen. I have 12% drop in fps with this addon. Without it is like 4%. Can you check that please?
My guess is that gps map screen is reading some additional data? I'm not sure.

Hello! thanks for the work.
I can't see anything in my sim(in fact it seems i can't even see the native pylons), I am using add-on linker, nothing has been touched in the folders.
I use the We love VFR add on and flying in FRANCE mostly near LFRN(with the franceVFR addon for the airport).
Thanks

4 months ago

Uhm just make sure that you copy the three folders contained in the zip in your community or somewhere addon linker can find them. One folder is Powerlines, one solar farms, the third one are highpylons (you can avoid to link this one) Three folders in one zip
