FSX Oil Rig Locator Update 3

Oil rig markers for FSX bring offshore navigation to life by plotting rig locations directly in Google Earth for quick planning and reference. Update 3 supplies the missing Google image store file and clearer icon setup notes, while listing available rig names plus associated ADF and DME frequencies where provided.

This update adds the instructions for installing the oil rig icon to Google Earth. Icon courtesy of NDBC Observation (Google Earth). It adds the 'Google image store file' missing from the last update. Now the "oil rig icon" install instructions should make more sense. This file adds markers for the oil rigs found in FSX, and overlays them on Google Earth. If they have them, it also gives, name, ADF and DME freq. By Carl Vokes.
