Faroe Islands Heliports v1.0

Faroe Islands Heliports v1.0

A Vagar commenter decided adding the Faroese heliports would be a good idea. I am easily led so here we are.

This is all of the official heliports with ICAOs on the Faroe Islands. There are a few other unlisted ones I’ll get around to. The one non ICAO heliport I have added is Koltur because it’s on the Atlantic Airways helicopter timetable.

As we all know the Faroe Islands are absolutely horrid in the sim and there’s not much I can do about that. If you stay above a certain height you do at least get a smeary rocky effect instead of bland grass.

The list is –

EKFA Froðba – EKHI Hattarvík – EKKU Kirkja – EKKV Klaksvík – EKMS Mykines – EKSY Skúvoy – EKSR Stóra Dímun – EKSO Svínoy – EKTB Bodanes/ Tórshavn – EKKT Koltur

There is also a Danish warship a few miles North to fly off because why not? ICAO EKZV. It’s not a good model though so I’ll upgrade it soon.

You will also have a medical emergency to attend to on an unmarked ship a few miles south of Torshavn. The captain of the ship bringing the entire island’s supply of Christmas presents is refusing to dock unless the islands pay for his butt lift, so you have to fly him to the nearest plastic surgeon.

These are all very basic so don’t set your expectations too high. There might also be some bad behaviour from the terrain that’s been terraformed.

I will get around to adding more things like boats and lighthouses, and if you want to do more to the islands yourself message me and I’ll send you the project files and we’ll make it a co author type thing. I’m sure there are plenty of people who want to make it a better place.

Each helipad has a runway start and a parking place if you want to start cold and dark. They are on top of each other so the parking place is quite hard to select in the planning screen. It is in there somewhere.

There is a second download which is an unstarred version if you don’t want your map overwhelmed.
