Oil Rig!?!?!

[Jimmy]

There I was descending in my 733 for nzch from the north, and out my left window I noticed a light (it was dusk) I zoomed the view and my to my surprise it was an oild rig!

Its located around the airways H159 and V306. I went for a flight to go and see it up close. heres some screenshots of me landing on the heli pad.


Approaching, I set sunset time so I could spot the oil rigs light, otherwise itd be very hard to find.


Landed sucsefuly on the second attempt! I was rather pleased

The only scenery I have installed is the RBE 75m mesh and landclass and heaths canturbury.

Just woundering why its there, I certainly don't want it removed thow, its great fun to land on!

Any chance of posting the lat/lon coordinates?

[Jimmy]

oh yes forgot the coordinates!

S43 10.41 E173 37.11

btw is that the corect way to wright coordinates? Do you have to include all the little * and ' what are they there for?

° = degrees, ' = minutes, " = seconds

They probably use * because they can't figure how to type °!

[Dreamweaver]

° = degrees, ' = minutes, " = seconds

They probably use * because they can't figure how to type °!

Probably because on the American Style Keyboards those options to type correctly are not available

The English Keyboard layout includes a "pound" symbol which the American style we have in NZ do not.

Jimmy what version FS you using? Getting confusing now with people assuming we all have the same Version.

[Jimmy]

FS9 of course

Thanks for clearing that up GHEVN, I am now a little less confused about coordinates









btw how do you type that symbol?

... btw how do you type that symbol?...

Just bookmark this thread and come back and copy it when you need to use it.
Hmm, it might be in the special character library of MS Word or something though...

You can always use Character Map - under Accessories/System Tools...
