Firth of Forth Bridge (FS2004)

This is one of several screenshots that I took recently of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, which is the latest game that I've modded. I know that I've said for a very long time that I would post some of the 3D models that I've been learning to make, but actually this series serves a different purpose. First of all, I didn't make this model, as surprisingly it's from the original game. It's maybe my favorite obscure detail in FS2004, or one of my favorites, anyway. In real life, the Firth of Forth is also one of my favorite bridges. When I was taking this screenshot, I discovered that FS2004 also models crashing ocean waves, something that I had never noticed before. The water is actually modeled well enough so that you can operate simulated ships in it, although this functionality was obviously intended originally to support seaplanes.
