About This File

North Sea, Norwegian Ocean and Irish Sea oil/gas offshore installations. 

Placement of all Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, German, Irish, Russian, Polish and British oilrigs in the North Sea/Norwegian Ocean/Irish Sea/Baltic Sea/Celtic Sea. Version 2.2 pinpoints about 500 rigs, FPOS and loading bouys in the Norwegian Ocean, the North Sea,the west coast of United Kingdom and the Baltic Sea.  I do not have accurate 3D models of the platforms, so the default MS Flightsim oilrig and oil tanker is used in all the locations. FPOS are made by merging the default platform and the default tanker. I have also added some oil tankers in the location of some of the loading buoys. The placement should be pretty accurate - source of positions are pulled from the Norwegian map autority's (Kartverket) electronic nautical charts (Norgeskart nautical charts),from Avinor IPPC service, from EMODmet and from a KML file found on the internet....   I'm pretty certain that all of the installations are covered - if you miss some, please let me know. There have been a lot of decommissioning and removal/clean up in the last years. I've tried to place only the installations still out there, but the cleanup is ongoing, so there will be some errors. Please let me know if you find some..... 🙂

It will be a hell of a job to sort out all those 574 helipad positions from the BGL in to a cvs, so that will not happen, I'm afraid.

You may use the same userpoints as Aerosoft has made available for the Off Shore Landmarks: North Sea addon. 

The oil rigs will be in the same positions, but you will not find the landable ships in my scenery of course......

Do a search for LittleNavMap in the Aerosoft forum.

No, I have no further plans. The MSFS North Europe oil/gas offshore installations places close to 600 oil rigs and installations - all placed one by one by hand  - after a lot of research. And I know the area very well. 

I have no knowledge about US oil installations, and almost never fly in that area myself.

I know Aerosoft is working on a "Aerosoft Offshore Landmarks: Gulf of Mexico" scenery. And a little bird mentioned something about GAIST may be placing oil rigs in the future......
