I love flying around the Italian lakes, especially after the recent Italy themed world update, so I decided to create this entirely fictional seaplane base on the edge of Lago Maggiore.
There are two parts to this scenery. One is the sea plane base located in Laveno - Mombello and the other adds a bit of life and detial to the Palazzo Borromeo POI across on the otherside
of the lake. Its a great location to take the Icon A5 to with lots to see. You can even land the A5 and join some revellors at the back of a superyacht. Its look great in VR.
There's lots of animated people and boats dotted around and I've also included a rescue mission for the H145. Its easy to find on one of the islands next to Palazzo Borromeo. Just look out for the frantically waving people.
The seaplne base also has one land parking point to start on so you can fly a helicopter out of it.
Because there's a lot in this scenery add on there are a few libraries you must have installed in your community folder. These are....

Big thanks to the creators of those libraries for making them available to use.
Known issues - Its difficult to know the exact path the animated boats will take. As a result they will somtimes cut straight into the land. The water around Palazzo Borromeo is slightly reased up. For some reason Asobo did this when they created the POI and it wouldn't allow me to lower it. As a result some of the animated boats cut into the water. Its not hugely noticebale though.
Lastly. Ignore the hot temperred Italian speed boat owner at the jetty. His bark is worse than his bite.

Nicely done, thank you.

I've installed everything but still can't find/see the base?

make sure you installed the two separate folders for the scenery and seaplane port. Not the root folder they're both contained in.

Thats strange. Are you putting the two unzipped files in your community folder?

Hey Man, this is great work - many thanks! I was always thinking that there MUST be more sea ports for Italia!

Thanks. That was my thinking too.
