Southampton & Regional Area Local Addon Scenery for FS2002 V1.00 By B.Semmens - Module 9: Esso-Fawley Oil Refinery.

The 'Named Scenery Module' (Module 9 : Esso) covers some 13 square kilometers and reflects in detail the Fawley Refinery Site situated on Southampton Water approximately 5 miles from Hythe village. The site is home to 'Esso Petroleum Company & ExxonMobile Chemical Limited' the largest oil and petrochemicals complex in Europe. Some 2,500 ships movements a year off-loaded at the refinery's mile long marine terminal jetty. The refinery's chimney stacks and 'Fawley Flare' can be seen for miles around even although the 'Flame' is now a comparatively rare event. This scenery includes the Marine Terminal Jetty with berthed oil tankers, refinery chimney stacks, fuel storage tanks, distillation & refining units, buildings, fuel tanker vehicles, tanker train, site engineers and even sheep - to keep the grass short! Special effects such as flares (operating at different times of the day and night), cracker emissions, escaping pipe-steam, smoking chimney stacks have also been included. This module is VFR scenery compatible & links with earlier scenery modules of Southampton Docks, Woolston, Weston Shore, Marchwood, Hythe and Calshot (Modules 1-7). The complete project when finished encompasses 12 Scenery Modules in all. Copyright B.Semmens 20 August 2004.
