V1.01 - I was able to figure out some trickery in blender that allows the Hollywood sign to spawn in from farther away. So this version has that new model incorporated. Also added PBR textures to sign.
Replaces stock photogrametry Hollywood sign with hand modeled blender version. Also adds stock library assets (antennas etc.) to the antenna farm on the top of Mt Lee just above the Hollywood sign.
thanks, its a must in the area! pls, could you fix the lod issue?

Great add on!!! The only critique is that at least on my rig and settings, the LOD setting seems like the letters disappear too short of a distance away? I noticed the "L"s were missing then zoomed in a bit and they reappeared - and not too far away the letters go away completely. My LOD is set to 100 for smoothness. But looks great as I fly over it thank you!

That's a combination of your LOD setting and the scale factor of the model (which I always set to 1:1). The L's have much less surface area then the other letters, so the sim's graphic engine I believe renders based on surface area or volume of individual assets. Thus, the L's get screwed.

Does it work with, /replace the Hollywood Sign from the LA Downtown scenery up here at flightsim.to? Because there Sign does not blent well with the terrain.

Don't know, I don't use that add on. Try it and see real quick and let me know. You can't hurt your sim by having both installed and run a quick test. If they do conflict, just delete mine... you next sim session will be fine.

This is great, only thing is the night lighting of the sign as it's not actually lit at night. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-05-03/why-isnt-the-hollywood-sign-lighted

I know, but I decided to take some artistic license and light it up so we sim-ers can see it at night.

Awesome add on. Like the lighted sign at night.
1 critique add an obstruction light on the tip of the tall tower, like the lower tower has, and its perfect!!

It does have a beacon light... because it's so small, it won't spawn in until your at a certain distance. Fly closer, you'll see it. When you do, can I get a 5 star-er from you?
