Hugo_J 42 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Just had a look at the 40th Anniversary trailer from MSFS. I noticed a helicopter landing on an oil rig. Is your addon the one used here ? (it looks amazing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronald13 5 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I really enjoy seeing all the screenshots, and can't wait for all the missions i could do. But the models look very clean. I have no experience, but i would expect them all to be very heavily used, with lots of scratches and grime. Is this planned to be added later?

(it looks amazing) It's the default from the USA update ( 90% sure ).... the trailer showed some helicopters "near" helipads - not actually on them, so IDK if they went back and added collision - as the default rig didn't have collision.

ravenn22 4 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 @Mathijs Kok - with all the rig and ship models you're accumulating, is there any thought about expanding this project beyond the North Sea? ( or maybe additional regions later is more realistic ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101001101 6 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 This looks really really good. I've been hoping for a while someone would work on exactly this, for MSFS. Will be buying this once released 100%. I'll hopefully be able to use it with Air Hauler 2 to do small cargo / passenger runs from mainland to oil rig etc in the HPG.

It's not easy to do change all textures, we'll see. Do keep in mind that structures at sea that are well maintained stay pretty clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avdheide 9 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Mathijs, this is an exciting project for a frantic palmtree lover (aka Helicopter simmer) This is the MSFS version of my X-plane Freeware project for the Nord Sea. I used (with there permission) the NL2000 assets to fill the Dutch region and in colaboration with others the generic platforms with coordinate data for the rest in the Danisch, Norwegion and UK sections. So I will get this one and use it until it fades of the wear and tear. One question Are you also planning on including or as extra add-on developing of the Helicopter HUB airports that serves the North Sea. Like EHKD and the ones in the UK and Danmark. I am working in EHKD for X-plane for this purpose Another Question Is an airplane as the Dornier of the dutch coast guard in the planning. I use my X-plane version to check on fishing vessels and on spillng in the traffic lanes. VERY VERY Happy and excited for this project. Keep up this great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the persons who assisted me with the North sea for X-plane did the Gulf of Mexico. Another worked on the regions around Australia and the Indonesion Island range. There is a LOT Offshore to find when you start looking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up this great work We are not planning anything land based or flyable at this moment. We do hope to have one small patrol boat 'usable' (if only from the outside) so you can get close to the objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the devoleper of Global AI Shipping https://nl.flightsim.to/file/9529/global-ai-ship-traffic-msfs-v1 Both of these teams are in our Discord project server and working with us where needed. There are no plans to share assets (I am sure the license we have do not allow that actually). We want to place every possible object (from buoys to ultra large tankers) at exactly the correct location (or at a location it was at a certain moment in time). So a rather strict element of realism in that. Only that way can you SEE shipping lanes or see the anchor locations at port entries. Only that way you will never have a ship at a location where it should not be. These days ships are almost always in on way shipping lanes and they are getting more and more complex. So thousands upon thousands of objects. Wind turbines, fishing vessels on the fishing grounds, huge gathering of ships where there is construction work, every oil/gas rig (with the patrol boats and supply vessels), every standby rescue at the oil and gas fields. And all of them within 10 meters of the actual location. Please login to display this image. North/south bound lanes north west of The Netherlands Please login to display this image.

Gstove 10 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Looks amazing can’t wait. How big an area are you looking at covering with the ships etc Mathijs Obviously it’s the North Sea itself but I think you mentioned it might extend out side that area in some regions? is it basically this area?
