A very nice Heligoland island!

froschman · 01-09-08, 03:31 PM

On my previous missions in GWX 2.0 I have passed Heligoland either in darkness or in foggy
and rainy weather. This time it was on midday a sunny day.
What a difference compared to the flat and barren island in the standard SH3! Now a populated
island rises hight out of the sea with a realistic harbour. It looks very good, I have
compared with photos on Internet. I did enjoy my flying across it with the free camera when
passing on my way out to the Atlantic. Thank you, GWX team!

Yeah ! I was VERY impressed with Heligoland when I drove near the south side of it yesterday. Was this added in 2.0 ? I don't recall seeing the little port there before.

I've nejoyed a lot of the GWX sight seeing but never passed close to Heligoland.

If you know the real island, your joy will be even more....

@GWX Devs: FANTASTIC view! I enjoy it every time I pass by.

You are correct!

And neither "munich" nor "cologne" exist. They are called MÜNCHEN and KÖLN....but *sigh* ... what should we do about it ...?

I saw it too.
I sailed around this island two times.
Very nice texture and harbour stuff!
Good work!

I too like the new Heligoland - On every patrol that starts from Wilhelmshaven, I always go past it to admire the view.

Don't know about the accuracy, but Wikipedia has a decent article about it ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heligoland
