Jack Sawyer Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Well, I found the oil rig, many thanks to Roger. I don't know if the oil rig is P3D or Orbx but it's alive, it makes noise, things move and it's very cool. And going back to NL TE with the new PC is amazing. Orbx did an amazing job here, I hope to see more TE soon. This is my new Cherokopter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have used a chopper and could have landed on it but I was in a rush to get there. Now I have it stored in the GTN so I can take off from EHAM in the chopper and go right to it and have a real adventure landing on it! I love this thing!

I don't know if the oil rig is P3D or Orbx but it's alive, You are welcome Jack! I do believe that it is a carry over from FSX Acceleration Expanision Pack Misssions "Oil Rig Transport" where the rig blew up when you landed on the H pad and you had to rescue the workers off the rig, I know it is probably one of the best detailed ones out there that I am aware of atm. Glad you found it with no problems! I thought I was doing a fine job landing with a chopper on the pad, but a Cherokee, Amazing!! Hope you get futher enjoyment from the rig!

It's a wonderful play thing! I remember that mission but I could never finish it in time, I just wasn't a god enough chopper pilot. The Cherokee of course was slew as you know, I just wanted a goofy picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Theoretically if a Helo sling loaded you out of there then got enough airspeed, you could be released and, if the motor started right away, you'd still have enough airspeed to recover and fly on home . Now there's a scenario for your next set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev D Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Nice one Jack. You could get on that rig without using the slew command by just increasing the windspeed to about 80 kts and flying the approach at 75 kts or so. You would only have to slow down from 5 kts on touchdown!!! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
