I don't see why they wouldn't - I bet it'd turn out worthwhile!

As soon as this happens, I will approach Matt & Peter to go ahead if they so wish. :o :roll: :D

Geoff,

I have no problem with any of my stock being included on a CD, as long as I get a little tiny credit :D

Transavia at Blackpool? I wish! :P Anyone fancy a repaint into Ryanair colours? :wink:

Seriosuly though - nice work! Are the aircraft animated or static? The prom looks terrific!

Yes you are right with the aircraft identification and yes it is animated, although it flies round in circles :-? :roll: :lol:

Fantastic, Geoff......just fantastic.

Any more little gems hidden away in there?

On the other hand, don't answer that question. Just let us find them when you publish the finished article. I for one will have fun looking for them!!

Thank you for all your comments. It is very time consuming and such a delicate route to mess with. It is a matter of trial and error, as to what areas I can place objects. There is still room for quite a bit more, but I am limited as to where. Some areas will have to remain as they are, such as Cleveleys, & Rossall. For some reason, even by placing one single object, it won't save and you end up with green fields and no scenery at all in the Thornton Gate to Broadwater section.

The other fragile area is along the main Promenade from Pleasurebeach to the Tower, this are dissapears if you try to add anything.

I indended placing people along the whole route, but the areas mentioned will have to remain unpopulated. However, I will continue to get it as best as I can within the routes limitations.

I am going to be out of work when this route is finished, so if you are open to offers, Doug & Terry, to populate your routes, I am willing to do it.

Looks Excellent Geoff.

With all these attractions up and down the route i need somewhere to stay, but as its the height of the illuminations all the Hotels are full.

And besides they are expensive anyway.

Any chance of adding a caravan/camping park somewhere along the coast - that would finish it off a treat

That mini-golf course is superb! I agree, a caravan park really would finish it off!

I had already thought of doing a Camping & Caravan site around the Rossall area, but as I said, this area is a NO GO!

The only place left is along the Prom at Bispham, but this would look stupid and out of keeping, as it is not the place to see lots of canvas tents and caravans ( and there are some tents available for MSTS, I have got the files in my library).
So I am afraid this scene will have to be left out. I'll give it another shot if I can fit it in where it doesn't create havoc, but not along the seafront.
