This is the observatory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, near Lowell, Massachusetts.
It has several large radio-telescopes.
Haystack also serves as a computational hub for the Event Horizon Telescope, an assemblage of radio telescopes around Earth that combine data for very-long-baseline interferometry.
Google Maps photogrammetry import.
Scenery requested by FlyingsCool. I am not so skilled at photogrammetry conversion, hopefully i have time to make a handcrafted version some day (like most of the observatories sceneries i publish).
Read the documentation for more info about the observatory.
Compatibility :
Version 1.1 was modified for compatibility with "We Love VFR" or similar mods that place automatic, but ugly, antennas in place of the handcrafter models.
Make sure droide folders are placed at the end of the Content.xml file. To achieve that, the easiest way is to use "Content.xml" tool in MSFS Addons Linker. Move "We Love VFR" upwards, and move droide folders downwards.
I can't thank you enough for this 😊
I get a huge smile now every time I fly south of Nashua. Thank you again!
Might want to mark it as compatible in SU8 (I did)
I wonder why it doesn't show up in the scenery map (I wonder what else I'm missing)?

OMG! You are AWESOME!!! Thank you so much. I missed having this landmark so much!!! Can't wait to fly over it tonight!!!
I was just hiking up there a couple weeks ago, too. I once lived a mile from it as the crow flies. I still live in the area can can get you as many pictures as you'd like, from the air and the ground.
