## About This Content
This DLC for Aerofly FS 2 features the famous island of Helgoland in Germany
with detailed buildings and a a very detailed airport. Additionally this DLC
includes surrounding landmarks like the fishing and tourist town Busum as well
as Germany’s largest oil field Mittelplate. Also included in this DLC are high
resolution aerial images of Helgoland and the surrounding landmarks.

The system requirements for this DLC are slightly higher compared to the main
program. For a smooth simulation we recommend to use a 3D graphic card with at
least 2 GB of dedicated RAM and comparable in performance to a NVIDIA GeForce
760 GTX or newer.

It is not only the language that make Helgoland (officially Heligoland in
English, but let’s stick to Helgoland) that makes it a special place. And also
the landscape that reminds more of a Norwegian fjord than a part of Germany
and the amazing history are rather special. It used to be shared between
Sachsen and Denmark and became a British colony in 1807 and in 1890 England
and Germany exchanged Helgoland for Zanzibar (on the east African coast).
Germany saw Helgoland as an important strategic location so it was heavily
fortified and it saw major action in both wars. During the second World War a
simple airport was build, the old runway is still visible and now part of the
new airport.

After the Second World War the island was evacuated and used as a target for
the British Air force. For seven years it was bombarded day in day out and on
April 18th 1947 it was the scene of what is arguably the biggest non nuclear
explosion the world has ever seen when surplus ammunition was exploded. It was
feared the whole island would be destroyed but the island proved to be strong,
the gigantic crater can still be seen.

After this dark episode the islanders returned and the island was cleared of
the non exploded munitions. It became a well loved sea side holiday location
not only because the visitors could buy liquor and cigarettes without having
to pay tax to the German state. For the well to do visitors several airlines
started to fly regular routes to Helgoland. Airlines serving the airport all
use BN2-Islanders, the only multiple passenger aircraft that is allowed to
land on the extreme short runways.
