Description
This is an exclusion of the enormous wind turbine on Helgoland which was so huge I presume on a windy day it lifted the island up by a couple of metres.
I have of course made a rather wonderful mod of this area - https://flightsim.to/file/16991/edxh-duene-airport-helgoland-upgrade - but you may be perfectly happy with the Asobo version so I've made it a separate download.
Kudos to SaveScummer for pointing out this ability became available after SU9. It's been a long wait.

by the way, "WE LOVE VFR 1" generates a factory chimney on Helgoland, where there is actually really a chimney, just that welovevfr1 generates this chimney 3x bigger than in reality.. any chance to exclude this with your fix as well? :)

It's difficult to find images of it, but it looks like the VFR model is nearly the correct height.
The real thing looks like some type of antenna rather than a chimney.
Let me know if you find any good reference images.

My gosh, you are right about the height. I memorized it completely wrong. About the Structure, it's actually a chimney, but a very thin one, that's why it's reinforced with an antenna-like scaffolding. Maybe for the purpose that it doesnt look so dominant as in the sim now. regarding photos, here is one i found online:
https://www.vbhelgoland.de/data/uploads/kraftwerksbilder/Abgasturm.jpg
and here is one seen from the the top of the cliff on that side, holiday photo taken by me:

so it seems it goes at least 10-15 meters higher than the top of the cliff.
so, it really appears as if the height of the structure is correct, just the type of the structure is exaggerated. :)

okay, here it says, it's indeed 85 meters in height: https://www.vbhelgoland.de/technik/abgasturm/

Since the height is correct ish I'll leave it.
You could ask Mr VFR to assign a different model to this area. I assume there is a better match available.
