    Helipads pack | 4 shapes | PBR textures | fully customisable - Image 1

    Description

    Hi ! 

    Here is a pack of 4 helipads with standard shapes :

    • Square
    • Octogon
    • Hexadecagon (16 sides ; yes, I had to check on Google to be sure)
    • Circle
    • 2 ramps
    • 2 stairs
    • 4 light insets (red,green,blue and white)
    • 3 pillars assemblies
    • 3 metallic nets

    Textures :

    • Everything is included, what you see here are just exemples, that's up to you to modify and write your own hospital / worldwide company / mum's name on the landing area :)
    • 1 dedicated texture for each shape / common textures for metal, cement, normal and rough maps, etc..

    Physics : 

    • The invisible collision volume matches 100% the shape of the helipads. Be carefull not to hit the handrails while landing ;)

    How to use :

    You can not JUST place the folders under your community folder like a standard mod, this asset is for modders 

    • Place the content of the ZIP into the project you're working on. Final path should looks like "(...)YourProject\PackageSources\modelLib\GBZH35_Helipad_Circle/" (for example)
    • Do not modify any name in the files
    • If you don't see the pads/textures on your project, TRIPPLE check the names for ALL xml, bin, textures, etc.. this is 99% of the issues :)
    • Read the comments, it can help

    Credits :

    • cc0textures.com & cdn.cgbookcase.cloud for PNG I used as basis metal textures
    • @epicfool for ideas, obj files and support !
    • Please mention my name if you use the helipads in your own projects, here or not, would be much apreciated !

    Hope you'll enjoy it. Do not hesitate to paste a link showing the helipads at your favorite area !

    This doesn’t seem to be working with other people’s mods that use this. People who have previously downloaded it have no issues but for some reason new people downloading it the helipads won’t show up. Everything else about the mods work like the spawn locations, but this component does not appear

    This should be published as an actual shared model lib so that authors don't have to duplicate the distribution of the assets if they want to use them in their works...

    over 1 year ago

    I took the initiative and published a small model lib that includes a subset of these assets: https://flightsim.to/file/85017/humble-helipad-library

    This is mainly for my own purposes as I plan to release several new medical helipad scenery packs which will depend on it.

    i dont know why, but my helipads seems to be pink textures after "build packages" :( if i had the community folder clear and only the new builded helipad scenery inside, all seems fine - but with other sceneries in the community folder, the helipad looks pink textures :-/ any idea there is a compatible problem with other sceneries?

    what i doing wrong, always pink texture issues on the pads :-/

    Very useful package - thanks!

    2 suggestions for improvement:
    - Increase the metallic roughness factor of the "H_Surface" material to make it less reflective (I changed it from 0.5 to 1 in the .gltf)
    - Make the inset lights with an emissive color texture and adjust the light cone to only spill upwards at an angle

    Awesome for added emersion at your local Hospitals!

    Great package! I'm in the process to update a local field with a working helipad and I noticed that MSFS had no great default lamps etc. I planed to build something myself but then I found this package where you already solved this.

    I'm going to upload a new version of my ESGP Säve Flygplats using this any day now.

    I've gotten this to work as it is and it's wonderful. However, what happens if I need to place multiple helipads of the same type in one project with different custom textures for each? For example I'm placing the same square helipad but each one has different markings for weights, etc. I can't see any way of doing that without renaming the model files to create a second model and you have stated not to rename any of the files. Anything I'm missing on how to get this done?

    im having this same iisue too,have you found any resolution mate?

    over 2 years ago

    nope still have the same issue unless you rename the file and create a new model...

    over 2 years ago

    ah thats annoying. when you say new model do you you put it in blender then export it?

    last update was a couple of years ago wasnt it so maybe the SDK has changed

    over 2 years ago

    yes I put it in Blender and renamed everything along with generating a new XML and guid. Renamed the textures for that specific model as well. It works but in the future I think I'm going to make my own helipads as while these look good they're not really optimized and the texture size is way larger than it needs to be to be used in any project of substantial size.

    Thanks for creating these helipads. I was trying to follow some other tutorials and could not get them to work. Using these with the tutorial from Patriot Six made it super easy. Good job!

    Hi very nice work however if I try to change the helipads textures I do not succeed!

    I keep the names original, just change the textures but name is the same...still....no change when I load it in the Editor.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Please advise if you can.

    Thank you in advance, Frank.

    same issue here. I only get the default pink squares. What do I have to do with the textures? Just leave them there? Already corrected the circel file but still no change.
    Im new to modding so sorry for the question :)

    What an amazing collection of helipads!

    My entry into scenery development and motivation to dive deeper.

    The library objects can be perfectly customized to personal needs, just great.

    Thanks so much, that you have shared it in this way!
