First commissioned in late 1957, Willington has been a part of the Midlands landscape ever since. Although now mostly demolished, the cooling towers remain and are a handy navigation aid for anyone flying in the area.
Try going up from EGBD Derby or EGNX East Midlands and then following the river Trent. You really can't miss them!
This object has been professionally created using a modern workflow. 4K PBR textures, highly accurate details and everything else you'd expect go together to create the finest landmark you'll ever see!
This is great! I spent a lot of time visiting family just down the road in Barrow Upon Trent so this vista holds fond memories. Thank you.

Thanks for these. I was able to make a fun little video including them for my 4 year old grandson back in Australia. Grandad took off from Derby airfield and almost crashed into them and so on. They look right and are a real improvement on the default buildings used by the sim.

Thank you for your anecdote, it makes even the worst work day worth it!
I'll soon be uploading some more custom landmarks in this area so keep your eyes peeled!

Not sure if you are aware, but these have already been done. See https://flightsim.to/file/3665/uk-cooling-towers-chimneys-that-stay-visible-at-distance
Presumably using this mod alongside the earlier version will totally cock up Willington?

I didn't know about the other pack, thanks for that.
In theory they won't ruin each other. You might get two sets of towers, or none at all, but certainly nothing game breaking. I shall have a look and upload a new version!
