Oil rigs for fsx

Hey,

 

Is there a place that I can get oil rigs to place with the object placement tool in fsx or is there a scenery pack for the Gulf of Mexico that does not have default ones?

I can place the default ones, but I am looking for a more realistic one.

Go to www.hovercontrol.com under FSX Scenery you will find an add-on from Chris Gaeth called GoM_Fun_Rigs_FSX. It contains 2300 landable oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.Hope this helps.:cool:

And for good measure let me toss this into the playpen-

 

DEFAULT FSX HELIPADS on OIL PLATFORMS

There are about 30, some have NDB or DME -

LAT n52 12.02

LONG e3 29.21

Thanks!

 

As an old chopper jockey I've used several default pads in various areas. But wasn't aware they included oil rigs in the box as well. I'll have to start looking for them.

Thanks for the help guys. :cool::cool:

One last question, are there any 3rd party addon oil rigs like these pics?

And is there or will there be a PHI Helicopters S-92 like this one?

For an interesting one, fly the "Oil Rig Transport" mission. You'll be surprised.

And take a look in the The Offshore Development Group ,many rigs.

And for the Sikorsky look in the library,also many types.

I can't figure out how to download those rigs, can you help me?

I just landed on two rigs. The one mentioned in the North Sea & one in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

I thought both were pretty well represented. However I was a little surprised that neither showed up on the GPS. I know rigs can "move." But I would have thought the GPS would show these that came in the box. I get GPS updates in RW on a regular basis when roads and buildings are renamed or moved.

 

I've not flown RW to an oil rig. But I assume those that do have updated GPS units to show where they are.

ODG packages are available to members only.

For access, you need to sign up to the ODG forum.

 

 

 

ODG's platforms have appropriate navaids,

plus helicopter exclusive routes, as per IRL,

all of which are displayed in the GPS.

Unfortunately nobody's released a Sikorsky S-92,

since Herve Devred's FS2002 version.

We've only released an FS9 demo package

which ATM is not FSX compatible.

 

Our FSX compatible offshore sceneries really only cover the UK sector ATM.
