I completed the Minnesota sightseeing charter and it was quite an interesting adventure.
I knew almost nothing about the Minneapolis-StPaul area's geography and learned quite a bit along the way. I have to say it is so much more varied that the Atlanta area. On the other hand, at some point, I turned the traffic to 100% and it looked just as insane as ATL.
As for the Split Rock lighthouse, all I could find was a red and white steel tower 50 miles north of Duluth. Was it supposed to be a real lighthouse (in the sim) or was that it?
Great job John!

Hey Philippe,
There should be an actual lighthouse there. You'll know you're getting close because there should be another ore boat out there off the shore from the lighthouse. It should be south of Silver Bay a bit.

John,
I went back and found that cute little lighthouse. Unfortunately, it is in the lake a half-mile from shore.
One of two things could have happened. Either it has to do with my scenery add-ons or it was put in the wrong place. In real life, the lighthouse is 37 miles from KDLH and at that distance, there is a rock in default FSX, presumably for the lighthouse which is almost due East of 63MN.
But in the adventure, it is situated at 43 miles from KDLH.

That's very interesting Philippe! That's the same issue I had with the FTX Global/Vector scenery that I use. I might suggest you try uninstalling the MN Sightseeing default and try the other version for Global/Vector. It appears that your scenery addons are more compatible with that scenery. Again...remember that I moved the lighthouse almost to Silver Bay in the FTX Global/Vector version. If correct, that might make future sightseeing tours less frustrating for you.

OK, now it's good!
I installed the FTX Global version and it worked perfectly. The lighthouse is on land where it's supposed to be. Also, the busses were hidden behind buildings and now they are in clear view in front of them.
Hopefully, this post will help others.

Hey Philippe, nice pics of the sight-seeing tour - and you did very well for not being familiar with the area. However, the church you found is nice looking - and one would think it could even be the Basilica, it isn't the correct sight. Also, the JJ Hill House you found is, in fact, the Landmark Center, the only other sight you didn't have I think. The JJ Hill House is almost due west of the Landmark Center, and I'm almost positive close enough to view from the outside view of your aircraft.
