EKVG - Vagar airport in the Faroe Islands.
This isn't in the sim so I've created it. The airport buildings and outline of the runway are in the sim but Bing's imagery was too appalling to identify it.
This is fine place to stop off for your transatlantic hopping. It's a great shame the present terrain is so poxy but perhaps a magic wand will be waved over the islands sometime.
This had a few autogen buildings replaced, some embellished, some added. It should have a full set of ground markings but the custom parking numbers seem to be coming and go for me.
V 1.6 is in theory finally friendly to Navigraph users, though your mileage may vary. Navigraph themselves tested this and it worked for them. They told me addons must be below the Navigraph package and also the Aerosoft Paderborn scenery file seems to mess with their settings.
Something has changed about the underlying terrain here in the last few weeks so all of my lovely terraforming had to be binned as it was turned into jagged and unsalvageable junk.
This is therefore more boring than it was before but possibly less problematic too. The correct ish runway profile was readded so at least that's still there. I'm also not sure whether this screws with official altitudes or not.
The folder name has reverted to a non numbered form so you'll have to track the old one down and exterminate it.
This joint has given me so much ball ache since its creation I may well charter a real jet purely to land, attack the apron with my skinny fists and then turn around and go home again.

Great work :-)

This is so useful as a stop over for GA flights to/from Iceland/UK.
I noticed today when doing a LOC/DME approach to EKVG RW 12 in the C208 that although the LOC was working on 109.100 the DME appeared to be out of service ... unfortunate since the ceiling was 1000ft ... I ended up with a rough approximation using the GPS. Nevertheless is this something that could be easily tweaked?????

Hey! I still get a double runway problem and a super bump on the way to the apron, in fact the gates are like in a hill, is there something im doing wrong?
Thanks!

As usual, LOVE your work on EKVG ! Didn't find any troubles about double rwy, or navigraph problems.
Only one minor problem at the end of rwy 30, the last bit of rwy extension after the treshold dips in a very deep "pit". It is stil possible to do the 180° turn to align the rwy, therefore i call it a "minor" problem. Of course if it can be "adjusted", it would be marvelous !
Please keep doing the good job on this airport, it's so worth it ! and a lot of us, like it ! I'll pm you the screensave i did of the "minor" problem

Loving your scenery, an amazing effort but unfortunately I’m getting a doubling up of the runway. 2 sets of markings and lights offset and when I go to ATC and chose the runway for departure there are 2 sets of the same runways in the menu.
I’ve queried Navigraph and they’re asking if you’ve got the correct DELETE lines in your coding. There’s also a bit of a massive ‘bump’ just after you vacate the runway and taxi up towards the terminal.
Well done though anyway, amazing detail and a beautiful airport and country

Nice Airport. I was disappointed it was not in the sim yet. Let's try Faroer --- Iceland !

I have installed the latest Vagar airport mod (Version1.5) but have a number of issues that I suspect may be to do with something at my end. I have installed some of your other mods and all of them function fine.
1. Vagar does not appear on the MSFS World Map therefore I cannot start a flight from there.
2. I can fly to Vagar from another airport or from a mid-air starting point but there is only a grass runway. Strangely all of the buildings are showing correctly as per your own screenshots.
3. No nav data or ATC is available.
As I said, I have no issues with any of your own mods or other airport mods. Only this one.
Any suggestions?
PS. Love your work.

The airport looks really good. Was there fishing a few times and recognized everything. But there are still a few things that are not correct, I mean.
Slopes: In my opinion, they are not correctly aligned.
RWY 12/30 125 ° / 305 °
If you follow the ILS, you are always flying into a mountain in the direction of RWY 12.
ILS: They are mixed up and do not work correctly. The aircraft initially aligns itself with it, but then flies parallel to the runway at a certain distance.
There is no glidesloap.
Tower: On approach, it always assigns a runway with a tailwind. Have tried it several times with different wind directions.
I speak German. The text was translated by Google.
Many greetings, Koschi

Thanks for a great airport. But all my planes refuse to take off from this airport. The same happend to one norwegian airport. I got more than 500 airports installed in my community folder. But this one is one of two where it is impossibel to take off. It does not matter what ever I try to do. The planes are as glued to the runway. By shere luck I managed to lure a plane outside the perimeter of the runway. There everyting behaved normally, and I could take off as normal.
The airport that got the same problem is the norwegian airport ENSN (Geitryggen). The super version found at flightsim.to causes the same problem with my aircrafts as do your. If I return to the default ENSN the problems go away. And there are no similar problems with any of my more than 500 downloaded airports.
