POI Billboards of Germany (South) - Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria
Now the VFR dream comes true!
Now it is possible to have a detailed information on the area seen 1000 feet below you, injected directly into the scenery!
This upload will add POIs as “POI Billboards” - MSFS static scenery objects, for a given country/area, brought to you by 3DSpotters Team.
Here is Germany (South) - Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria with 87980 POI points
(this is a lot…)
broken down to region (all included):
DE-South-BW-NO 19534
DE-South-BW-SO 14145
DE-South-BY-NO 31738
DE-South-BY-SO 22563
Refer to the included maps.
You may turn ON/OFF each part independently.
Please also check our "POI Billboards of" series for other countries.
To install
Drop the scenery folder from ZIP to the Community folder or (preferably) use any of good MSFS Addon Linkers.
A Technology
POI Billboards, that you will download here, are based on a completely different mechanism than Microsoft/Asobo built-in POI’s. That way you will get thousands (and I mean thousands) of billboard signs scattered all over the country, based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) information, supplied by OSM contributors, with minimal to non-existent FPS hit. You can see a lot of information at once: cities, towns, villages, attractions, train stations, temples, lakes, rivers, island and so on (assuming you have good eyes and paused the simulator). POI Billboards were designed to provide this information to the simmer, while not obscuring the landscape too much and keeping FPS high (well, you will judge).
HOW-TO minimize MSFS loading times
The only possible drawback could be extended MSFS loading time, so to minimize the time try the usual ways:
turn off Windows File Indexing feature,
switch on only the scenery you will really fly VFR in a minute,
keep your sceneries on SSD disks, preferably on M.2 ones,
do the same with all other sceneries/aircrafts/liveries :)

Tolle Sache das! Gibt es eigentlich eine Möglichkeit, sich an dieser Arbeit zu beteiligen und weitere Billboards erstellen? Ich hätte die Zeit dafür.

"Great thing that! Is there actually a way to get involved in this work and create more billboards? I would have the time."
Of course it is. You have contact info in the README, call us (by email) and we can discuss that.
"Natürlich ist es das. Sie haben Kontaktinformationen in der README, rufen Sie uns an (E-Mail) und wir können das besprechen."

Gut gemacht. Die Beschriftung kann man auch mit VR gut lesen. Wenn sich in STGT keiner auskennt, dann braucht er unbedingt dieses Addons. Ich erkundigte die Stadt mit dem Heli!!! war super.
