Now that's something I've always meant to check out but never got around to doing - mainly because I don't know where they are located - but probably laziness plays a significant part in that too .

I suspect that unless they are very close to the shoreline that they won't have been included.

so i have been looking and had no luck locating so i have place some MAUIA and MAUIB in to work with NZNI applied to the MAUIA &B intersects on planG and using the information i could find on the Shell Todd/ NZOG website i also found a flight chart on Google For MAUI B How ever i haven't set up the approach details how ever you can start on the MAUI A at helipad 2 and MAUIB at helipad 1 the active works as a helipad ill upload images tonight and release the file to www.flightsim.com the title will be MAUI Oil Fields and the Airport Code NZUB

Ah, not specifically about oil rigs, but related to.
How do you find the fuel locations at airports.
Some are obvious but others not so.
For example Invercargill.
Still haven't found it.
Whoops, should have added, from NZSI

At flightsim.com , Navigation maps

For the dumbies and even for following a flight and beacons still work you can put these into a A4 clear-folder and have it sitting on your desktop , as old as they are made from original real flight plans with all the beacons NDB -VORs and headings .

FS2004/FSX New Zealand Navigation Flight Maps and Beacons/NDB's/VOR data. Includes four sheets with frequency and five sheets in A4 format for ease and printing. Based on real hi/low altitude flight charts. By Ian Warren.

Most of this data was made and edited from FS dated from 1998 and still works fine

On Arnz ,flightsim.co.nz there is a file under scenery "Taranaki Region - By David Hall" it has the all platforms, placed in FSX etc

so as i said i have the placed oil rigs on the Maui oil grounds and i was going to release a file with the Maui A & B rigs that can be landed on and started from i have used default libraries how ever if anybody is able to supply me with pictures and details on sizes of the rigs i will create custom models i have uploaded the file to www.flightsim.com titled Maui Field oil rigs. this file is created for the Orbx NZNI package. my file should be available by Easter for those looking for a new FSX destination and or activity for over the holiday period

pictures of the rigs and placement:

Custom models would be cool, but as Mike (Creator) says there's already an FSX compatible and landable set of rigs for FSX. See his link, might save you some time

The rigs (and shipping) is also available in the free VLC AI boats package from vectorlandclass.co.nz

Timmo , Im just in the process of loading FSX onto a separate drive so i can have it 100% VLC ..... and keep the other stuff (Orbx/FSX) on another drive. I always get problems when i mix them up.
