Adding a bridge structure in FS2004 (Read 134 times)

I have FS2004 and if you take off from KHPN from runway 34 or 36 and head towards the hudson river (up to 30-40 degrees left heading after takeoff, near croton point) which is the river that leads to NYC from there, there was a Tappan Zee bridge there in FS2002.
I installed mega scenery NY 2004 and it only added a road where the bridge is but no structure there.

Here's a picture of the Tappan Zee bridge in real life:

it's white in color in FS2002.

Can I be able to take the bridge structure out of FS2002 and install it in FS2004?
If so, how do I do it?

Here's what I'm talking about:

In FS2002, the bridge is visible:

In FS2004, just the road is visible (mega scenery 2004 installed, the default didn't have anything):

I fly over that bridge everytime on VFR private pilot flights heading back to the home airport so it would be nice to be able to see the structure.

Hey Midnight_LS1,

Welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately there is no way to take the bridge from FS 2002 and put it into FS 2004. You would need to create the bridge using EOD (Easy Objects Designer), then texture it and export it as an API (Macro). You would then need to use FSSC (Flight Simulator Scenery Creator) to import it into FS as a scenery add-on.
