    FHSH - St Helena Airport - Image 1

    Description

    St Helena Airport - FHSH - which wasn't in the sim. 

    One for those long haulers. Sadly this island suffers from junk terrain so there's not a great deal that can be done to make it prettier overall but this is at least an official airport to stop off at. 

    Auto generated airport buildings were already in the sim, but no signs of an airport, so these have been integrated and played with. 

    This has been done by hand with bits of paper held up to the screen and aerial photos and it kinda shows. The topology has turned out a tad more Mayan so far than I was planning but you get the idea. 

    This has three parking spaces, two with a full set of ground services, a fuel bay and a fuel truck. 

    V 1.6 Improves general detail around the airport. I've tweaked the runway lighting to work better and the runway itself wasn't quite right in terms of layout. Some surfaces have been changed to better reflect reality too.

    Thanks this is one of the great airports in the sim especially with the difficult approach in winds. The airport looks really good. I fixed the duplicate runway problem with this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/JzOTMAh7wIw?si=dzuIDKtoiRr96FyC

    Hi ! I love flying from and to islands. After your Ascension, I was sarching St Helena, missing in MSFS. With yours, I can now fly to it. Thanks a lot, it works perfectly but the approach is not easy. Next will be Falklands. Good jobs !

    Very nice work, thanks for allowing us to discover this remote Island and airport, and to go check out the location where Napoleon spent his final years.

    Thank you. I almost forgot this existed.


    It's really time they officially added this to the sim. When they do I'll give this a proper going over.

    Just flown from here in real life. Pretty good representation here. Especially the approach road into it. It's also a lovely place in real life.

    I am envious indeed. I'm waiting for Ascension to be repaired and then I'll go straight here too for real with the Falklands thrown in to boot.

    I was just at Ascension recently too. l'll be off to the Falklands soon enough. These are great by the way. Can't belive they were left off the Sim.

    Ascension is now in the sim officially as of a few weeks ago, but it's a very sad and flat place indeed. It looks like someone knocked it out while on the staff toilet.

    If you had a camera handy then feel free to share. I can't find much decent imagery of the actual airfield at Ascension.

    Thank you for this! I play OnAir and I need to fly from South America to Africa and need an island for fuel to make it the whole way. I've done an airport before, so I was just gonna make this one, but with a quick google search I've seen someone else has already done it. Thanks again!

    I really admire this work. I've read your guide and see your problems with ILS. I've tried and I'm not experienced enough to even think of having it done. However, this airport really needs an ILS (which it has in reality as well) to be safely operative. What about trying to make some reasearch and join your forces with someone else's and get it done? Thanks again for what you have done. Which is, never forget something because it'is small or isolated!

    It does have ILS in the settings. It is now perfectly aligned with the correct Magvar and heading with the correct frequencies and idents.

    It still doesn't show up. I have examined the code of other peoples' projects where it turns up just fine. It's identical as far as I can tell.

    I will now officially be known as Not ILS Man for the rest of my life.

    It shows up sort of correctly in littlenavmap with the latest update so give it a try. It might only show up for me for I am cursed when it comes to this.

    I'll be far from home for quite a while. I'll surely give it a try. Thanks for your effort, your interest, your time, and your knowledge.
