Hi all, I’ve been tracking this topic pretty closely. Hats off to those in the World Hub Alpha Club making these outstanding changes! o7🫡 As a Heli simmer I am loving all the new helipads at airports all around the world. Your endeavors are not going unnoticed and the work you’re doing is much appreciated!
I saw above that some alpha testers are reading and taking input. I don’t want to add to the work load, but if someone is ambitious enough (or bored enough
) And please forgive if these are already in the works!
I’d like to request Nice, France; have it’s Heliport added. This has long bothered me as it’s an Asobo handcrafted “Star” airport that is missing these heli ramps and pads, even though they exist in sim. There is even a nice passenger terminal / FBO with a cool wrist watch advertisement on the building! I often slew or fly over to this area before flight. Would be great to give this spot the usability it deserves. See photos attached.
In the past I’ve seen Heli Ramps added as Heli Pads, this starts the helicopter from a hot start. It would be nice to have a mix of both so we could choose either the pads with hot start ready to take off; or the ramps as a cold and dark option. I know this may confuse our fixed wing friends to select a ramp spot over here so maybe the naming convention is something like Ramp 1H, Ramp 2H, etc… The yellow ramp parking would be prime for cold and dark, while the large square pads would be great for hot start Heli Pad spawn points. I understand adding a “heli pad” has to be hot start due to sim limitations. But not all of these spots have to be pads, just create new ramp parking spots.
Next request is a bit more involved and I’m not sure if World Hub alpha can currently edit outside of airports or how exactly it all works. But I’d like to see the Monaco Heliport added as well. (Heli Air Voyages / Heli Events Voyages) It’s in the sim with clearly marked pads and ramp parking on satellite imagery. At least one pad could be added on the “dock” pads that jet out from the dock. Again see photos attached.
There are a few pads that have buildings that auto-gen on top of them, in the current world hub alpha build these cannot be removed as I understand it. And the terrain isn’t the best, very hilly. But would be great to have this pad “activated.” This is a very common route taking passengers from Nice to Monaco and onto the mountains like Isola 2000.
And while I’m here on the topic… Waikoloa Heliport / Hapuna Heliport / Rainshed Heliport - Hawaiian helipads on the big island. These are all currently POIs and not selectable helipads. Again, these are helipads in the sim that are modeled very nicely but not selectable for takeoff. It’d be great to see these “activated” so to speak, as well!
