Stavanger airport, Sola.
Stavanger Airport, Sola, is Norway's third busiest airport with both international and domestic flights in addition to serving as a major hub for offshore North Sea oil installation helicopter traffic. The Royal Norwegian Air Force 330 squadron operates AW101 "SAR Queen" search and rescue helicopters from the previously military east side of the airport. Just north of the field is an air history museum. Originally opened in 1937 as one of Europe's first concrete covered airports.
Runway 18-36 has a CAT II ILS system and is the primary runway with 10-28 mostly serving helicopter traffic.
A big thank you to Foxbat20 (https://flightsim.to/profile/Foxbat20) for the use of the military hangars, air history museum and 330 squadron SAR building.
I'd also like to thank FSDesigns (https://flightsim.to/profile/FSDesigns) for help with testing.
Compatibility:
Like some other addon airports, the following will cause issues:
Justflight / Black Square's Real Taxiways - Terraforming and parking spots.
GSX pro - Terraforming, jetways and parking spots. Disable jetways for ENZV in the GSX config utility or you will experience broken terraforming and other issues that will make the airport unusable.
Andres3d airport lights - extra lightmasts in wrong positions.
VDGS installation:
I have implemented support for Nool Aerosystems' VDGS utility on gates 8-24. This is the same VDGS module being used in certain payware airports. Using these is completely optional and requires the installation of their module. The utility uses an exe file to collect information from installed aircraft cfg files to determine accurate nosewheel position and a wasm module that will let the display guide you to an accurate stop every time.
The display will automatically wake up as you taxi towards your gate showing you the detected aircraft type and flight number and start giving you distance guidance as you move closer. It will also show you current ingame time while parked.
To install the VDGS module please download it here: https://flightsim.to/file/39576/msfs-visual-docking-guidance-system
Known issues:
- Runway and taxiway lights may spawn at wrong elevation on terraformed airports. This is an MSFS issue. Setting higher Terrain off-screen pre-caching and higher Terrain LOD settings help.
- extra floating parking spot number at helipad 61
Version 2.0.12
Fixed SU11 issue with approach and arrival procedures
Added helipads. (Will keep the old parking spots until 3rd party helis are helipadcompatible).
Version 2.0.10
(Sorry for another update)
NOTE: v2.0.9 and v2.0.10 may give you issues due to different approach data for 29/11 vs 28/10.
Stay on v2.0.8 for instrument approaches to 29/11 for now. I'll see what I can do about this in the future.
- Fixed ILS alignment due to changed magvar at ENZV.
- Removed Localizer for rwy 11 (10) as this has been removed in real life.
Version 2.0.9
Minor update. North pole moved again, so rwy 29-11 is now renamed to 28-10. Literally the only change.
Version 2.0.8
Minor terraforming fixes and gate parking spot changes to help AI maximise parking usage.
Version 2.0.6
VDGS update. Performance improvement. Requires updating vdgs installation to v2.1.0 or later.
Version 2.0.5
VDGS Update. Now shows stand number, flight number and time.
Version 2.0.0. This is a major update.

For me the plane stops after the line using the VDGS and PMDG 738 and not as shown in the trailer... I wonder if the stops can be fixed.
Thank you.

Just the Jetways need Attention since they are not properly connecting and the Passengers are floating in the Jetway at the Beginning.

I am having an issue with passenger aircraft parking at the MIL-stands around apron 6 in the south-west part of the field, instead of using the gates. Is that something you could correct, or is it an FSLTL issue?

Thanks so much! I love Stavanger and now your work! 😉

All your airports are fantastic quality!
Small detail missing at Sola is the stands at Apron 10.
Looks like the apron is quite busy with overlapping stands in real life, so they might not alle be useable by AI, but at least just having the markings would be nice anyway.

You are correct. I should have painted those a long time ago.
