Easter Island Moai for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS)
This scenery contains all Moai statues available on Easter Island at the correct locations but only one model variation (for now). It acted as some sort of training project for me to learn how to create scenery for MSFS. It's in now way perfect but it was fun to create.

Installation instructions:
- Copy the folder in Community folder (easterisland) into the Community folder of your MSFS installation.
Software/Workflow used to create this scenery:
- Model from Sketchfab, authored by Guillermo (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/the-traveling-moai-ahu-tongariki-rapa-nui-2ab65014a0a34a6e83f15bf3a3b78770). Un-needed sections of the model were removed (rocks, majority of grass); re-meshed using Instant Meshes; texture baking with SimpleBake addon.
- Blender & MSFSToolkit for model editing and export. No LODs currently, but there are plans for it (which is why the models load a bit late)
- Python to create the object placement xml file from OpenStreetMap data of Moai locations, parsed with GeoPandas. Objects are placed in correct locations but with semi-random random scale and heading, as there are simply too many and I can't edit them all manually.
