Thanks - this explanation really helped and gives the whole thing a completely different context 
Hi, good to know.However how to distinguish between the two in the sim? Sometime I may want to do an hotstart and others a cold ones and would like to chose an helipad in accordance to the choice. (if possible).. On your scenery is it possible to do a hotstart?
The issue is still “bug-logged” which means it could be reproduced by the dev team and is NOT by design.
Hi,
I’d like to kindly ask if you would be willing to share some of your sceneries that include Helicopter Parking spots.
I recently learned that some helicopters may have issues when starting cold and dark anywhere other than a proper helipad or designated parking spot. I’d like to do some testing on my end and see how different helicopters behave in this scenario.
If you’re open to sharing, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Meaning YOU choose them when deciding where to spawn. If it says HELIPAD XX then it will be a hot start. If it says HELICOPTER PARKING XX it is a cold start.
As for my scenery, just look on FS.TO website and search for CoolGunS. All my scenery has option 2.
