The lighthouse replaced a lightship that had marked the Royal Sovereign Shoal since 1875. The structure was built, in two parts, on Newhaven beach, and put into position in 1970. First, the base and attached column were floated out to the shoal, where the hollow base was flooded and allowed to sink into position. Then the cabin section and superstructure were floated out, positioned over the base and allowed to settle on to the column as the tide fell. Afterwards the telescopic inner section of the column was jacked up, increasing its height by 13 metres (43 ft).
The lighthouse was brought into operation at noon on 6 September 1971, whereupon the lightship was towed away. Initially, the light source was a 1,000 watt bulb set within a revolving 3.5 order catadioptric optic, mounted in a superstructure on the corner of the platform. Beneath the lantern, on two intermediate levels, were the sounder, air tanks and associated equipment for the diaphone fog horn, below which the main control room was located (on platform-level). Power was provided by four 20 kW diesel generators, housed in the cabin section of the structure along with two diesel compressors (which, as well as supplying the fog horn, powered a crane on the platform). The optic completed one revolution per minute, thus displaying one flash every 20 seconds with a range of 28 nmi (52 km; 32 mi).
The light was automated in 1994. At the same time, the optic and lamp were replaced (reducing the range to 12 nmi (22 km; 14 mi)) and converted to solar-powered operation, and the fog horn replaced by an electric emitter. As of 2006 the light was controlled by a 475 MHz radio link to Trinity House managed by Vodafone; the platform was still occasionally occupied.
In June 2019, Trinity House announced that the lighthouse would be decommissioned, and then removed, because of the platform's structural condition. Beachy Head light, the "principal aid to navigation in the area", will be upgraded.

Hi There,
I have tried every which way to get it to appear but still cannot. Can you possibly package it so that it just drops into Community with no work done toremove bits from the extracted folder separately to Community? I really want to see this lovely build but it is just not appearing...certainly not at 50°43'24" N -0°26'08". Kind Regards

Hello Simon,
You have installed it in the Community? directory.
I don't see why it should be invisible as you are the only one to have this problem

This is nicely modeled. Thank you. The LOD is a problem however - as it literally only appears when you're a mile away.

This beautifully modelling thank you. Is there anyway to increase the LOD? On a clear day you can see this from shore, whereas when i was flying to it in the sim, it just appeared a couple of nm before i reached it

Changing the LOD is not a good thing to do, in my opinion. FS20 may not like it at all ....
We are in a simulator and some effects or others are not like in reality.
Sorry, but good flights anyway

Superb! Had a look on google maps, found the site (easily). Drew a line on LittleNavMap. Followed the line in MSFS in the utterly superb and free HPG H135 in VR at night. Cracking scenery, got some great pics.
Love the marshaller, the views inside and especially the push bike leaning against the railings, you can even see the brake cables on it!
If you try landing here, watch out for the ground effect as you come onto the platform.

Hi there,
This looks lovely and I extracted the folder to my community folder...but for some reason it doesnt show. Do I need to take the subfolders for model and scenery and install them in the community folder but outside of the overall folder? Kind Regards

Hi Simon,
You need to unzip the .rar file in the Community directory and in the world map: Search type Royal Sovereign, there is no reason why the lighthouse should not be displayed. If you have entered the coordinates make sure they are correct, i.e. 50.723374 and -0.435488 or 50°43'24" N and -0°26'08"
Cordialement,
