    Faroe Islands Heliports - Image 1

    Description

    This is all of the heliports and helipads on the Faroe Islands. I guess they're slowly dying off as they keep making tunnels like there's no tomorrow so use them or lose them. 

    I went here earlier in the year but couldn't get a helicopter flight as I presume it was fully booked by idiot Youtubers whilst locals laying dying in their homes for want of transportation.

    The list is - 

    EKFA Froðba - EKHI Hattarvík - EKKU Kirkja - EKKV Klaksvík - EKMS Mykines - EKSY Skúvoy - EKSR Stóra Dímun - EKSO Svínoy - EKTB Bodanes/ Tórshavn - EKKT Koltur - EKTH Faroe Islands National Hospital Helipad - EKS1 Skopun Helipad

    There is also a Danish warship a few miles North to fly off because why not? ICAO EKZV. 

    These are all fairly basic so don't toss your cookies if it isn't fancy enough for you. 

    Each helipad also has a runway start and a parking place if you want to start cold and dark, and more importantly, fly something more stupid than a helicopter off it. It might be a bit of a faff finding the right one with your mouse but my Harrier demands it. 

    Fuel is availble at Vagar which I've also done here - https://flightsim.to/file/365/ekvg-vagar-airport-faroe-islands

    There are two files in this download so click again to find them

    One is the heliports. The second is the boat routes as you might have some other mod that does a fancier job. Or simply hate watercraft that move. There are many of you out there.

    Removes the trees what you might have noticed. This covers the entire set of islands. 

    Covers up ground imagery around the heliports that has moved several metres. I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that in real life. 

    Tweaks the occasional other detail.

    This is amazing. Does it work for 2024?

    No. It's a disaster in 2024.All sorts of weird markings and happenings. I've been fiddling with it a bit, but you can't delete the heliports 2024 forces so its a right mess. I'll get on with a version soon ish all the same.

    Hey Superspud, fantastic work you have done here, but there is actully 3 more helipads in the Faroe Islands, one is in Gásadálur, second one is in Gjógv and third one is in Trøllanes. They are not in active use, but they are still there. All the best from a local faroese

    I miss your helipads so much !!
    I hope you'll find the time to recreate them for FS24...
    Many thanks to you !

    Is a DEM addon [still] required for this, or are they defunct with WU15?
    superspudAuthor

    I haven't had any of the third party DEMs installed for a long time. This is the second upgrade the ground imagery has had from Asobo and I assume the DEM got done both times too.

    Considering how good the stock stuff is in most of this area now any other DEM will likely be redundant, but there are some strange pimples on a few hills.

    Absolutely impressive work, putting helipads around beautiful countrysides, is the moving ship (seen in one of the screenshots) part of the scenery.. i searched far and wide, couldn't find it. I have your latest moving ships library installed, so is this part of the scenery, and if so, approx. area where i can find it?

    That ship starts somewhere around here 62.115009,-6.875152

    Can't remember where it goes but it's quite far.

    You can see ship routes if you turn on developer mode and then select debug simobjects and then select boat routes.

    Thank you very much for the reply. I found it, it's in the lagoon near the windmills and the hospital helipad. However, I saw that there are 2 of those ships jammed inside one another.. not sure if it is a one time issue.. or msfs spawned 2 ships at the same location.. I'll check next time. Also wanted to update I had a very nice time flying in this scenery in the alouette 3. Made some great screenshots and videos.!!!

    Also one more question.. I don't see the wake for this ship on my end though it is moving properly .. whereas I see the wake effect in your screenshot. Is there anything else I should be doing to see the wake properly?
    superspudAuthor

    over 2 years ago

    I don't know if there's a wake setting in everyones settings but you could look.

    Worldscripts quite often create weird behaviour like double ships. It's not a super reliable addon.

    over 2 years ago

    I checked today, and none of the moving boats in the Faroe islands show wakes for me. They show good smoke though. I delved into the xml and found you have used "BOAT_WAKE_FX_Back" for wake, i checked another ship which does show wake effects from another mod and it is using "FX_WAKE_AFT" and a whole new way of writing the function based on GUID. Ill try using that with your ships - maybe it is a problem at my end, maybe it is some latest updates on nmsfs thats breaking the wake. Regardless enjoying every momnent with this addon. :)

    It's the same wake as the standard Asobo moving ships, but I've only seen two of those in my entire life despite having the setting turned up.

    It should be visible for all as it's an effect everyone will have in their core install.
