This package covers over 1000 miles of the “Mighty” Mississippi River from Oakville (about 10 miles south of St Louis) to the Gulf of Mexico and has been upgraded to include a complete overhaul of the bridges, canals and waterways of New Orleans. The other major cities covered on the Mississippi are Memphis, and Baton Rouge.
All the bridges have been individually modeled and realistically rendered in the architecturally correct style with appropriate night lighting. They are listed at the end of this description.
Included are about 2000 water traffic fixes, port cranes, river bank fixes, water fixes for river bank facilities, and vegetation fixes.
In New Orleans the canals and waterways have been improved and 14 bridges over the main canals have been modeled. These add significantly to the realism when flying in or out of any of the airports in New Orleans. The Naval Air Station JRB New Orleans airport has been improved with Asobo generic hangars, control tower and windsock to make the airport more realistic.
The package has 40 bridges, 24 on the Mississippi and 2 on the Ohio River at Cairo where the Ohio flows into the Mississippi, and 14 on New Orleans canals.
The Mississippi is a huge river and floods vast areas each spring creating prime agricultural land. The bridges along the river are correspondingly huge and the Gramercy Bridge and the Crescent City Connection Bridges in New Orleans are among the 10 longest cantilever road bridges in the world. The Crescent City Connection Bridges were modeled by Asobo in WU-X USA and have been removed from this package to eliminate the conflict. This upgrade also fixes terrain issues caused by WU-X on all the bridges.
POI’s have been added for the bridges. The first one going south is at Chester beside KPCD Perryville Regional Airport, the last are in New Orleans.
This package complements the “St Louis Bridges on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers” package.
