Alaska – Cook Inlet Oil Rig placements v0.1.0
Alaska Cook Inlet Rigs – Offshore Oil Platform Placement for Microsoft Flight Simulator ( default 3D model )
This scenery adds all 16 oil platforms in Alaska’s Cook Inlet, between Kenai and Anchorage. This is an early version and will be a work in progress. The primary intent was to add rigs offshore for enhancing helicopter flying in multiplayer and to add visual checkpoints / landmarks in this area of the world.
Although the placement of the rigs is accurate, the scenery is currently using the default oil rig, which is not representative of the platforms in the inlet. Eventually, the default rig will be replaced with more accurate models of the Alaskan rigs.
