In addition to the german info- and support-thread about Faroes4XPlane:

 

Faroes4XPlane is a scenery package for X-Plane 11, developed by Maps2XPlane in cooperation with Albert Ràfols. It covers the Faroe Islands, which are situated between Norway and Iceland and are mountainous, windy, wet, cloudy and cool, what makes them a really challenging destination for air traffic. Faroes4XPlane features not only the Vágar Airport (realistically sloped, quite short runway) and the eight helipads which are spread over the islands, but also the stunning landscape (about 1.400 square kilometers of custom terrain mesh), seasonal representations as well as Faroese-themed autogen.

 

Be prepared for a challenging approach at the Vágar Airport: Do not lose your focus due to the stunning landscape, because you need to expect a strongly sloped and quite short runway – only 1799 meters. After your successful landing, start a helicopter and explore the scenic situated helipads and settlements.

 

Full list of all included overlay sceneries: The Vágar Airport (EKVG), the Froðba Heliport (EKFA), the Kirkja Heliport (EKKU), the Klaksvík Heliport (EKKV), the Mykines Heliport (EKMS), the Skúvoy Heliport (EKSY), the Stóra Dímun Heliport (EKSR), the Svínoy Heliport (EKSO) and Tórshavn/Bodanes Heliport (EKTB).

 

 

Key features

• Realistic rendition of the complete Faroe Islands with an area of about 1400 km2
• High resolution terrain mesh with various texture sets for a seasonal representation
• Customized local terrain details, e.g. realistically sloped runway at the Vágar Airport
• Detailed rendition of the Vágar Airport and eight helipads spread over the islands
• Faroese-themed autogen, navigation obstacles and dynamic traffic on the islands
• Hundreds of custom objects with PBR materials, 3d vegetation, night lighting

 

Faroes4XPlane is available directly here in the Aerosoft Shop.

Just a short notice about the work in progress on an extensive update for Faroe Islands XP:
We can already reveal 3 out of 4 main objectives: Vegetation, Autogen and Landmarks.

 

 

 

 

A detailed feature list follows quite soon within an official announcement.

In the meantime, enjoy the beauty of the Faroe Islands XP (available in the Aerosoft Shop).

So happy to see this update coming up. The scenery is already stunning and fantastic for us helicopter pilots but my one complaint was the autogen and vegetation. The fact that you are working to get this update out is brilliant. Can't wait to try it. Included in the landmarks can we expect to see Torshavn hospital and associated helipad? That would be fantastic for helicopter EMS type missions.

Thank you very much. We're glad that you like #Faroes4XPlane, and that you confirm, that we chose the right objectives for an update. Further helipads (all helipads with an official ICAO code are already realized, but there are two more pads served by Atlantic Airways, as well as some unnamed pads like the one at the hospital) are on our wish- / idea-list. But they will not be realized with the upcoming version - simply to avoid a too long delay. We'll finish and release first, what we have prepared now and then we'll decide on further development steps. However, even the upcoming version will contain at least one small surprise for rotorheads 😉

Fantastic, can't wait.

The update of Faroe Islands XP is now available! The main goal of the Faroes4XPlane update is to make the scenery package even more lively. Therewith, the main objectives were: Vegetation, Autogen, Landmarks, Harbors and Marine Traffic. A detailed list of all new features, as well as an image gallery can be found in the official announcement on my website.

 

Faroe Islands XP is available here Aerosoft Shop, but also offered by various partner shops. All those who already purchased a copy of Faroes4XPlane can get the update in their customer account.

Many thanks! It´s fantastic work!

In case you missed it: After the huge update of #Faroes4XPlane last month, we released last week an additional (minor) update v2.1 with some fixes and additions.

 

 

 

Complete change log and further snapshots can be found in the announcement on my website.

Would be a fantastic project fir Aerofly FS2 too 😉

Great news: Faroe Islands XP has been updated! The new version is mainly a compatibility-patch for the latest version of X-Plane 12 and hot-fixes a few issues, i.a. broken animations and vegetation: Faroe Islands XP looks in X-Plane 12 now even better than with the initial release for X-Plane 11:

 

 

 

Faroe Islands XP awaits you with a stunning landscape represented by a custom terrain mesh with seasonal textures, Faroese themed autogen, a challenging approach at Vágar Airport and eight scenic situated heliports. More detailed info and screenshots on the product page and in the developer blog.

Curious what independent reviewers have to say about the recent update of Faroes4XPlane for X-Plane 12? Here the review from Stephen at X-Plane Reviews, and here the review from Paul for X-Plained. BTW: I have summarized these (and other, older) reviews also on our website. Have fun reading!

From what I read this is a patch to make it work on xplane 12 but there will be future improvements ?

Correct, version 2.2 of #Faroes4XPlane hot-fixes some issues in X-Plane 12, while staying compatible with X-Plane 11 as well. More info about the changes in the release announcement.

 

Another update or even a remake, no decision has yet been made about the further development. In any case, suggestions for improvements or even new features are always welcome.

Great news: We’ve just published an update for Faroe Islands XP: Version 2.3 of Faroe Islands XP is an XP12-exclusive update, and essentially another compatibility-patch for XP12. It, however, also offers a few new features: Among other things, we’ve updated the terrain model, and addressed especially issues at the coastlines, where with previous versions strange rendering artifacts in XP12 were present. These issues are now solved, and Faroe Islands XP looks now even better than ever before:
