You can use craft such as the Cessna 172P/182S/182T-FG1000, Piper J-3 Cub (FG1000 option), and the rugged de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter in your adventures exploring Iceland. Variants among these include support for floats for hopping between the dramatic fjords of the north/north-west (e.g. Ísafjörður - BIIS), as well as skis and winter kits to explore the many glaciers and icecaps. Some have bush tires to try your luck in the desert areas of the central highlands, or the moss covered lava fields of the south/south-west. To select craft variants, look in the launcher dropdown menu and the craft's menu inside the simulator. Helicopters such as the Eurocopter EC 135, Alouette III (AI co-pilot can help), Eurocopter EC130/H130, and Robinson R-44 will let you reach a variety of places - some have floats (R-44, EC130/H130) and snowshoes (Alouette-III, EC130/H130) too. | You can use craft such as the Cessna 172P/182S/182T-FG1000, Piper J-3 Cub (FG1000 option), and the rugged de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter in your adventures exploring Iceland.

As Iceland was settled by humans recently, there are probably places that no one has touched down, or set foot on, before. There are also places like Surtsey that are off-limits to visitors to avoid contamination. Other places like erupting volcanoes are simply dangerous. Remember, like Niel Armstrong, you can get out and walk in the simulation where no one has gone before after a successful landing in craft that support the Walker! | As Iceland was settled by humans recently, there are probably places that no one has touched down, or set foot on, before.
