A look at the North Sea Oil Rigs

[WingZ 547]

Having departed Aberdeen: 

http://www.avsim.com/topic/495741-aberdeen-airport/?p=3488910

we set out for a tour of the North Sea Rigs.

 

 

The ICARO AW139 is suitably IFR equipped for journeys far into unfriendly waters  

 

 

En route, we have a look at the Anasuria and later, the Triton

 

 

… before heading to our destination at  M313 - GSF Galaxy III

 

 

Returning to Aberdeen. Another opportunity to try out the autoland system!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

 

What chopper is that?

[WingZ 547]

It's the ICARO AW139, arguably the best helo you could hope for in a sim!

[JAT 185]

Nice shots.

 

nebojsa

Nice looking chopper, how details are the avionics? And does it come for p3d?

[BadKarmaPT 48]

Great shots! FS9 STILL is a great sim...  :smile:

[WingZ 547]

Thanks for comments, guys.

 

 

how details are the avionics?

Probably as good as you get?

I made a clip showing the startup:

 

This can also be done from the VC.

 

The helo also is equipped with a 3-channel autopilot - I flew the above with LNAV slaved to GPS.

 

I hope it works for you in P3D!

In a niche corner of a niche market, nice to see a sprinkling of interest... thanks for showing up!

Sweet chopper action WingZ!  :Applause:

I have their EC135 heli for FSX (Icaro = H&S Design, kind of!) a lovely freeware heli, or rather many helis - the model and livery quantities are staggering.

[WingZ 547]

I've seen clips of the 139 in FSX so I assume it runs OK there.

Yes the helo guys make a bewildering array of models and liveries, I am not halfway through what's on offer!

Here's a nice view of the AW139 (Augusta Weyland??) - after startup skip to 5:30 for lift-off. It shows just how beautiful the ICARO model is, I reckon

 

 

And don't miss edetroit's great FS9 clips: to the Galaxy III outbound

 

 

and return
