St Helena Airport - FHSH - which wasn't in the sim.
One for those long haulers. Sadly this island suffers from junk terrain so there's not a great deal that can be done to make it prettier overall but this is at least an official airport to stop off at.
Auto generated airport buildings were already in the sim, but no signs of an airport, so these have been integrated and played with.
This has been done by hand with bits of paper held up to the screen and aerial photos and it kinda shows. The topology has turned out a tad more Mayan so far than I was planning but you get the idea.
This has three parking spaces, two with a full set of ground services, a fuel bay and a fuel truck.
V 1.6 Improves general detail around the airport. I've tweaked the runway lighting to work better and the runway itself wasn't quite right in terms of layout. Some surfaces have been changed to better reflect reality too.

Looks great but crashes in V13

Very nice work, thanks for allowing us to discover this remote Island and airport, and to go check out the location where Napoleon spent his final years.

Thank you. I almost forgot this existed.
It's really time they officially added this to the sim. When they do I'll give this a proper going over.

Just flown from here in real life. Pretty good representation here. Especially the approach road into it. It's also a lovely place in real life.

I am envious indeed. I'm waiting for Ascension to be repaired and then I'll go straight here too for real with the Falklands thrown in to boot.

Thank you for this! I play OnAir and I need to fly from South America to Africa and need an island for fuel to make it the whole way. I've done an airport before, so I was just gonna make this one, but with a quick google search I've seen someone else has already done it. Thanks again!

I really admire this work. I've read your guide and see your problems with ILS. I've tried and I'm not experienced enough to even think of having it done. However, this airport really needs an ILS (which it has in reality as well) to be safely operative. What about trying to make some reasearch and join your forces with someone else's and get it done? Thanks again for what you have done. Which is, never forget something because it'is small or isolated!

It does have ILS in the settings. It is now perfectly aligned with the correct Magvar and heading with the correct frequencies and idents.
It still doesn't show up. I have examined the code of other peoples' projects where it turns up just fine. It's identical as far as I can tell.
I will now officially be known as Not ILS Man for the rest of my life.

Its broken for me (It shows two runways) but since asobo added st helena in the default island do you think you could get rid of the runway and just add the taxiways?

Are you a Navigraph user? That'll be the only cause of two runways as far as I know. It still hasn't been added officially to the sim but it's really time it was.
Try this with Navigraph
1 - close the sim
2 - IMPORTANT!! open our “Navigraph Navdata client” and remove the installed AIRAC cycle (
3 - delete the content.xml file - depending on your installation (Steam or Marketplace) you find here the corresponding folder, where this file is located
4- start the sim
5 - close the sim again
6 - start our “Navigraph Navdata client” and install the AIRAC cycle again
7 - start the sim and enjoy your flights

Thanks a lot for this one too. Another very important one.

I love this. Is there chance you can add the sids and stars.
superspud author
I think there's a greater chance of my colonising Mercury and populating it singlehandedly. I don't get it and seemingly not many others do either.
I presume external nav stuff does supply it. I'll have a whole lot of learning before I ever manage it but it would be a very handy addition.
At some point surely they'll add this officially but maybe it's a way away yet.

Thanks for the work, great job. Any chance of doing Wideawake airfield on Ascension island, I used to work there and would be nice to fly back 😊
superspud author
That was one of my first releases - https://flightsim.to/file/364/fhaw-raf-ascension-island
However it's a pale, mumbling shadow of its former self as Asobo have kept meddling with how they generate low quality areas and it's gone gradually downhill over time.
I've yet to figure out how to revive it properly. It sort of gets the job done though.

Howdy, I installed the airport on the latest FS2020 version, but no runway/taxiway shows up - neither on map nor in the sim when flying above. Just the navaids show up - so something might be broken.
Is this airport along with Ascencion still being developed?
Cheers
superspud author
I'd better give it a test.
They are being developed in the sense that I try to repair what their updates break, but Ascension in particular is slowly dying as their terrain generation methods make it ever crappier and harder to work on.
If they apply that same technique, whatever it is, to St Helena then I think it's curtains.
