Oil platform
There is plenty of oil platforms placed at real-life locations in the scenery of Flight Simulator. The platforms have helipads so you can land on them in a helicopter, or you can just land beside them in a seaplane. Many platforms are equipped with navaids like NDB or DME which make them obvious for instrument flights.
There is two types of oil platforms. A single high-detailed animated oil rig is located in the North Sea at position N52° 12.02' E3° 29.21'.
The other type, less detailed, is found at the following locations.

Comments:
ive seen the one in texas but i havent seen any othersI Saw one of the coast of Rotterdam
Fly Over Devils Tower, Wyoming. There's supposed to be
Something cool there
In Free Flight, there is no way of finding the North Sea. It is not listed and we can not input lats and longs. Can you give us suggestions/references to get there, please? I'm a rookie, can you tell? :))
The one in the north sea is around 36 nm due west of Rotterdamn EHRD.
I have never seen such bad grammar in my whole life. Go back to school, the lot of you!
I have found the lower quality one whos name was gen_rig01 for the lowest. Did somes of you Know whats the name or code of the first one? In any case thanks
rookie dude when flying press alt then world then map. type coordinates there
i saw one where there was the longest airstrip
Do all of them have helipads or just the high-detail one?
Tango-25 is the high detail one there is a rescue misson to it i didnt know devils tower was in flight simulator
the second listing in north sea section is not a oil rig, its a little tiny tower.. spend almost hour flying to it for nothing
I tried fly on them... There are a lot of them wich doesn´t exist.
Anyways.. I did not found any NDB on them.
