Guimarães City V 0.1 (beta)
This is the city of Guimaraes from Google Maps and contains some of my own models from my Guimaraes landmarks project. This is just the first version and is not fully optimized and thus the larger download file. It runs fine but still needs several improvements to make it a final product (see limitations note below) . The city is in the Braga district and the closest airfield is the small Braga airport (IATA: BGZ, ICAO: LPBR) or the Porto International airport (IATA: OPO, ICAO: LPPR).
Please do not use this together with the Guimarães Landmarks Addon as the models will incorrectly overlap each other!!
Current limitations: (will try to improve in future updates)
- The lighting at night is not working
- Road traffic not working
- If you fly a glass cockpit aircraft with augmented reality (like the Garmini G1000) you will not see the city terrain correctly displayed on the screen)
- POIs not labeled
About Guimarães
Guimarães is a city and municipality located in northern Portugal, in the district of Braga. Its historic town centre has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, in recognition for being an "exceptionally well-preserved and authentic example of the evolution of a medieval settlement into a modern town" in Europe, The city's stadium (Estadio D Afonso Henriques) was a host venue for the 2004 UEFA European Championship. Guimaraes was also the European capital of culture in 2012.
Brief History
The town of Guimarães is associated with the foundation and identity of the Portuguese nationality. Guimarães, as well as other local settlements, precedes the foundation of Portugal and because of its role in the foundation of the country it is known as the "cradle of the Portuguese nationality". In 1128, major political and military events that would lead to the independence and the birth of a new nation took place in Guimarães. For this reason, in one of the old towers of the city's old wall it is written "Aqui nasceu Portugal" (Portugal was born here). The first king of Portugal (who was also the founder of the country), king Dom Afonso Henriques (Afonso I), was born and lived in Guimaraes.
