finkle 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Beaten to the post! I took a flight to try and find the oil rig...without success. But I did come across, to my surprise, the aircraft carrier in convoy with a frigate. Is this an easter egg or an FSX standard ship? The really amusing thing is that the aircraft carrier is merrily plowing along a shipping lane straight at civilian ships. These then have to divert sharp around the carrier and frigate before returning to their original course. At some point I will doubt become obsessed with trying to land on the carrier, just like I was with the one parked at San Diego. However I don't think a moving ship is going to be anyway as easier. Also, worth stating for the record, Helgoland is a great scenery package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanP 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Rob Berandregt (I've probably spelt that wrong) has released an FSX version of his carrier operations package at Avsim, which might help you... Ian P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB 11 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 And the German Marine heli frigate is also (heli) landable... it's a bit wobbly, but you don't fall off... The carrier? No Easter Egg AFAIK... just standard FSX ships adapted by Sascha to populate the waterways. There's a couple of horrible FSX ships in use too - container ships with lousy shadow effects. But the string of ships is just so long and varied, it is a sheer pleasure just to fly up and down the "fleet" to see what is there. I lost count at 15 different floaters. The Oil rig should be visible on the FSX map window. If you follow the line of ships eastward, you should also get a visual ahead and left when one of the offshore islands comes into view. At night you should see the flame from the burner... Landing on a moving ship is not too difficult - just set the in-sim wind from the opposite direction to "add" more windspeed and you'll almost be able to "hover in" with a propeller plane.
