About This File

This is the updated 3ds HD version of the 4th release of the Towers of Steel Project. The WBNS-TV Broadcast Tower is a 839ft (256m) tall freestanding lattice tower located in Columbus, Ohio. When built in 1956 it was the 10th tallest free standing structure in the world.

The tower is a local landmark in downtown Columbus along with a nearby supertall guyed mast. It remains the tallest freestanding structure in the city to this day. The structure has a very narrow height to width ratio of 12:1 at its base and about 30:1 at its mid point. This is slightly thinner than the real life version(10:1) to enable it to fit on a 1x1 lot without overhanging too much.

The call sign was also raised a little into the white painted section so it would be more visible in the day mode. The lot can be found at the bottom of the Landmark menu, some commercial cap relief and a landmark effect is also provided.

Two versions are available, one for maxis night and one for the dark night mod.

*Update* added a third file for the small station building at the base of the tower. This was originally a maxis building, the dat file included will all it to show up as a prop. The file is now included in both version. If you've already downloaded one of the previous versions all that's needed is to download the small building file.
