Checked on Nov. 9th 2023. Still working well with WU15. However there are a double radar dome on the North Cape. So this will need a new exclusion. Will fix it in time (other projects needs finishing). But it still works and looks better/more detailed than the MSFS version imo.
Welcome to iconic Points of Interest in Norway.
This package currently includes custom models with PBR textures for the following locations in Norway. (note that this is a work-in-progress so be sure to tab that follow button to receive notifications on future updates).
Lindesnes Fyr.
(Southernmost point of Norway with the Iconic Lindesnes lighthouse, guest service center, parking, toilets, restaurant and tree corrections plus terrain adjustments.)
Nordkapp.
The North cape is the northernmost point of the European continent. Fully modelled monuments, statues, guest service center, parkinglot with custom campers and busses. Also modelled the Coast guard surveillance station a few kms away from the Cape itself.
Tryvann Tower, Oslo.
An icon in Oslo is the old TV and Radio tower also known as the Tryvann tower, sitting near the Holmenkollen ski hill it is a key landmark of Oslo that is missing from the sim and mods for Oslo. Also added is a tall coms tower near Tryvann.
Store Faerder Fyr.
Iconic lighthouse sitting on a rock in the Oslo fjord. This is still waiting to be completed but currently includes the lighthouse, a main house, garage and docks.
The plan was/is to keep adding key Norwegian locations to this package and originally the package was considered to be launched as a pay ware add on as creating content for the sim is very time consuming (weeks and months of 3D modelling, creating own textures and placing in the sim) so people please do keep in mind that all of the modders who create content for the sim and post it for free on this forum all work long and many hours basically for free, so be kind and leave positive and encouraging comments or even tip a little if you feel for it. It all keeps the motivation going.
I have been forced to halt the work on the package for already 3 weeks now and most likely until spring due to health issues in the family. I did however want you guys to have a chance to enjoy what I have made so far and hence the incomplete package. Lindesnes, Nordkapp and Tryvann is completed though and Færder fyr is also mostly there.
1. Download and unzip the folder.
2. Place the folder in your community folder
3. Launch the sim and go fly 😊
Know issues.
- Incomplete modelling of Faerder Lighthouse island. A few houses are yet to be modelled.
- Low draw distance on red caution lights on masts and on the lighthouse lights, this is due to limitations currently in the MSFS SDK and cant be fixed before Asobo fixes this.
- Floating light orbs (Streetlights) and unrealistic high volume on traffic at Nordkapp, also due to limitations in the MSFS SDK, a fix for this has been launched in the latest SDK but I have yet to get back to fixing it.
- This is not abandonware but I will have to halt the work for a few months due to IRL matters. I hope you understand.
If you find issues then feel free to send me a PM and I will add it to my to-do list and will eventually fix it.
- Faerder Fyr (lighthouse) missing POI marker
Hope you all enjoy flying in wonderful Norway.
Many Thanks for Your great work.
Best regards from Germany,

Thank you very much for this mod!
In 2019 my wife and I had a dream come true: with a cruisade ship along the coast of norway. The most northern goal was the north cape. But bad weather made it impossible to go there.
Now, with your mod, this area looks so much more like north cape. Thanx again!
