Oil Rigs and Helipad Location ICAO Codes?

[patrickb1973]

Does anyone have a list with all the added Helipads, Heliports and Oil Rig Helipads ??

There is this post but there isn’t a mention of oil rigs. Although I’ve seen it written somewhere as Coordinates but can’t find it now!

40th Anniversary Edition Airports

I think this is a list of all the new glider airports: Looks correct to me and matches the patch notes count And this is a partial list of the Heliports I can get you to the rest of the 14 heliports mentioned (but names omitted from) the patch notes. Bold are my adds to your list. London Heliport, EGLW, London, United Kingdom Giza Plateau Helipad, HEGH, Giza, Egypt Downtown Manhattan Heliport, KJRB, Manhattan, New York, United States Issy-les-Moulineaux Heliport, LFPI, Paris, France Tok…

You can find some near Santa Barbara, CA (KSBA), also in the Gulf of Mexico near LaFourche, LA (KGAO) or near Galveston,TX (KGLS).

Thank you, much appreciated

Pretty sure those are addons. I don’t have any oil rigs even after updating USA update II…

It’s shown in one of the loading screenshots with a helicopter, so I think it must be included somewhere …

I think that screenshot is related to one of the missions they brought back.

Ah yes, of course! So they have a model. They could put it in the world!!

Some oil rigs have been part of the sim quite some time, unfortunately they don’t show up on the world map and their helipads aren’t solid. At lest they weren’t when I visited them the last time.

Fly out to the sea from Galveston, Texas and you will see a whole gaggle of them.

Please make oil rig helipads landable

I just paid a visit to the oil rigs near the Texan coast south of Houston … well … [Microsoft Flight Simulator 28_08_2021 17_41_56] [Microsoft Flight Simulator 28_08_2021 17_42_10] [image]

They said and even showed in pictures that some oil rigs would be included specifically for the Helicopters

Just flew out there, unfortunately the helipads are still not solid:

That sucks!

I suppose we just wait patiently for the Aerosoft North Sea Industry addon then… maybe they’ll manage to not mess up the audio on this!?

…glug glug glug…

EDIT: yes I know there are a lot of freewares already available

I’m sure it’s just a matter of time now. You will see more hospital pads, sky scraper pads, oil rig pads etc. . . It just takes time to implement.
