Have you ever noticed that nearly every airport, airfield and many, many bush strips are available to choose from in the sim. But why limit yourself to just airports?
Here’s where my neat scenery comes in: MSFS Autogen Helipads
This tool relies on openstreetmap data and converts helipads from there into MSFS scenery
While converting it takes into account various parameters to represent these helipads as good as it’s possible in the sim.
Features:
• It’s able to generate correct shape helipad based on openstreetmap data
• Helipads that dont have ICAO set in OSM will have a custom 5-character designator
• Hospital helipads have correct hospital markings
• There’s a lot of variation between helipads, examples:
• Grass helipads will have a white outline around them to tell where exactly they are
• Helipads will come with windsocks to help establish wind direction
• Rooftop helipads outside of photogrammetry cities will come with a custom helipad 3D model placed on the roof to allow for using them without dealing with MSFS Building collisions that often don’t work properly
• Helipads will flatten the area around them a bit, as MSFS terrain mesh isn’t always as flat as real life
• Helipads come with a HELIPAD start and a PARKING start so you can start both Cold And Dark and Ready To Depart
