ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
I regularly fly helicopters in the UK and have found the AutoGen Helipads within Airports to be completely unrealistic
For example Aberdeen Airport is regularly used by several based offshore Helicopters. The helicopters will use the active runway.
Aberdeen does not have any Helipads (according to charts I can view)
Whenever I attempt a VFR departure, the ATC will default me to depart and arrive at Helipad 0.
If I want to depart from a runway I have to do this IFR and then cancel once airborne. However this is not possible if I want to practice circuits whilst VFR.
I believe most cases helicopters at Airports will fly the active runway and land on a taxiway.
I believe in order to fix the issue can all auto Gen Helipads be removed from Airports unless Helipads are actually there and present on charts
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue: All helicopters
