EKVG - Vagar airport in the Faroe Islands.
A very cool video trailer here courtesy of Finite Flying - https://youtu.be/v1or42XikGY
A fine place to stop off for your transatlantic hopping. After an eternity this is officially in the sim so this is now an upgrade of the existing site.
All ground textures disposed of. New ground markings added. Fencing all over. Light applied where it counts. Detail aplenty thrown down.
This has a new taxi system. There are two helicopter parking spots - 100 and 101. There is also a hangar start inside the Atlantic Airways hangar which is space number 6.
On the main apron spaces 3-5 are large GA with a full set of ground services. There's also all the fuel you can scoff.
You may thank Simon Nordendal of Azurafiles for very generously granting permission to use the Vagar custom buildings he made for his payware versions for FSX and P3D. These definitely tie the joint together.
He also supplied a mountain of reference photos to improve this version.
If you want to do more flying, or rather landing, around the islands I've done basic versions of all the Faroes heliports here - https://flightsim.to/file/12170/faroe-islands-heliports
A helicopter would be useful for these.
V 2.2
Clears up and smooths off some elevations, though it's still a bit uneven. It's mainly about sorting out the runway lumps and a couple of tools seem to be cooperating better than before so it should be better than before.
Increased the size of the parking space in the hangar to accommodate the A320. You are not allowed to look at the tail sticking through the walkway at the back.
Improves some night lighting for the buildings.
Adds a bit more detail here and there.

Cool photo. All we need now are virtual maintenance crews.

You are a true artist, Sir...and a pro ! of all the small handmade international airports existing in freeware; this is ma favourite ALL time !! That sloped rwy, with one end appearing slowly while accelerating gives such a depth and realism to the scenery...Breathtaking!
And when landing, the rwy comes faster due to that curved parabolic shape of it. One has to flare a bit earlier, not mentionning the loc offset by 14°. Add to that the extreme, almost dramatic North Atlantic weather and you have a even challenging airport as Lukla or Madeira!
BTW....Flamingos on the rwy ?!? these could seriously damage an A20N !!!!!!

Did I leave a flamingo? This is bad. I was measuring heights with it because it's a very practical bird.
Edit. Flamingo gone. Try a redownload.
scandinavian941 1 month(s) ago
aaaw, that explains the flamingos LOL....just redownloade your scenery jewel. I'll give it a try in a moment. To be honest, I've seen wayyyy worse or more annoying "mistakes" than this one. At least it was "funnily unexpected", and didn't crash the plane because recognised as a solid foreign object; as i had with trees along the taxiways in LFPG, due to the last world update, that added excessively many trees arround and at airports !

Affirmative, Flamingos are gone ! you ROCK ! Thanks a mill for that outstandingly breathtaking scenery

Thanks a lot for this wonderful scenery! However, the runway seems to be quite bumby, so the take off roll is very shaky. Can anyone confirm this?
superspud 1 month(s) ago
Terraforming is very imprecise and I had to spend many extra hours cleaning up the DEM. No doubt there'll be some bumps left over.
When you adjust one thing, something else breaks elsewhere. The main problem has always been where the runway meets the taxiway and that can't really be improved.
I'll have another try now and see if I can refine it further.

Ok, thank you for the quick reply. Keep up the great work!

Has anyone tried this after SU7?
superspud 1 month(s) ago
Works fine for me. As far as I remember no scenery has ever been broken by a sim update for me so I don't get why these signs are all over them.
It's world updates that are the real murderers.

Great. Thanks for replying 👍

Can you believe there is a payware competing with you?
superspud 3 month(s) ago
I cannot believe the cheek of these people. I also believe it's now illegal in several jurisdictions.

Darn and I only went and purchased the payware one without realising. Note to self - next time I'm about to purchase an airport check superspud on flightsim.to first!

Wonderful airport addon! Would rate it more then 5 stars! Must download! Looks extremely good, but for some reason I can't contact ground services. I only have "EKVG Traffic" com on the ATC menu in game. There isn't a problem if you have the A32NX tablet though, since you can contact them via the tablet. But there aren't any ground services com. It isn't the developers problem of the airport btw! (:

When this airport wasn't in the sim I gave it all of the radio channels. When it became an official airport they only included one channel and must have deleted my other ones.
I didn't check that and only noticed a couple of days ago myself. I should fly there more often. I'll update this very soon with the extra radio options again.

I whish I could rate it with 6 stars!
Love flying in here, weather is always tricky and the alternate is quite far away, blessed be the ILS!
dresoccer4
Fantastic! Much better than I was expecting. Flying my DC-6 into here was spectacular
lorentzyip
It's a really well-made airport. Better than many payware ones. Thanks for your wonderful work!
LukeC88
Amazing work. I have advertised it on my discord server as well as used it as part of my world tour event. Great work!

Payware-level quality and attention to detail. A real pleasure flying in and out! Thank you!

Here is a video I made here using Navigraph and your scenery !

Thanks again !

Hello SUPERSPUD! How good that ASOBO improved the Faroe Islands, in the world update number 5, and you quickly made the pertinent adjustments to your two scenery: heliports and Vagar airport.
I fly the islands with great pleasure. I have found, if you allow me this observation, that there are repeated two windsocks at header 21 and the lack (shadows on the ground are visible) of the approach lighting-ALS at header 30.
I see that there are already many simers interested in these forgotten islands thanks to your scenaries. I am a follower of your work because of how detailed and loving you put them. Keep going!
superspud 6 month(s) ago
Noted. That must be left over from the previous version. I will return to here in the next few weeks to improve the details. I'm glad you like it.
