Windsor Building on Fire. Madrid, 13th February 2005


This file places the Windsor Building skyscraper at its correct location in Madrid, Spain. It has a height of 106 meters and 32 floors (the 8th highest in Madrid), and is situated in the AZCA quarter of the city, heart of the financial district in Madrid, next to the department store "El Corte Inglés", Picasso tower, and the Holiday Inn Hotel.

This building, projected in 1974 and built in 1979, had a huge fire (apparently caused by a short-circuit in floor 21) in the early morning of 13th February 2005, that burned for more than 15 hours and destroyed the whole building.

Fortunately, no one was hurt, since the building is empty in the weekends. At the time of writing, Madrid firemen think the building could even collapse, but in any case the building has been destroyed.

The building was only used as office space for companies, like Deloitte&Touche, which by the way, also had its offices destroyed in the Twin Towers attack in New York on 11th September 2001.

The building was designed for FS2002 by FSMadrid, to whom all the credit is given.

We have corrected the location to the real one, and added the fire effects. If you set the date of 13th February 2005 in your sim, you will see the fire start at midnight, until 5 pm., as it really happened.

To install, unzip the file (using folders), and move it to addon scenery in your Flightsim. Move the file fx_forestfire.fx to the effects folder, if you do not have it yet (original Microsoft). Finally, activate the scenery in your scenery.cfg.

Enjoy!!
