*** Most of these sites will work with Bing Data/Photogrammetry ON or OFF. There are 3 sites that require separate versions. I have created Photogrammetry Only versions for these (King's College London, Northern General Sheffield, and John Radcliffe Oxford). The link to the Photogrammetry version will be beside the hospital name in the list below ***
Update note: Please delete old versions before adding to Community folder. 2 new rooftop helipads (King's College and Northern General). UK Ambulance now has flashing emergency lights, used at Hyde Park site for St. Mary's and Tennis Centre for QMC. The ambulance is also uploaded on a separate page for easier updates UK Ambulance
This project is to support vNPAS with the UK Major Trauma Hospital Helipads scenery and the Helicopter Emergency Operations (HErO) app. I am using realistic textures for the helipads if available, if not I am using base helipads or generic UK textures from other pads.
I am using EDHK light pack for the Helipad lights. I also added some fs-base light poles to light the area around the pads, not too close of course! If you fly at night I recommend the EDHK light pack.
I use GBZH35 Helipads for the rooftop helipads. These are internal, no dependancy.
All Helipads have STARS Airports for easier navigation. I could not find real world ICAO codes for these Heliports so I am using fictitious codes based on the ident from vNPAS's UK Major Trauma Centre (Hospitals) Helicopter Landing Pads POI for Little Navmap (VHEMS001 = VH01, etc.). If you know the actual codes send them to me and I will update my projects.
Note: In real life the QMC helipad is closed due to structural integrity issues. Air Ambulances use one of the fields at Nottingham Tennis Centre. In order to make the site easier to locate I recreated the tennis centre (to the best of my abilities) and have added some flares, an ambulance, fire truck, and paramedics with a gurney to mark the landing site. For vHEMS pilots, the HErO app will direct you to a slightly different heading, but it is close enough to get in sight of the landing site. I have tested in HErO app and the location is acceptable distance from QMC to offload the patient and complete the flight.
If you have any issues leave a comment or send me a message.

Just a heads up but it doesn't look like the 'VH24 Royal Manchester Children's Hospital' shows in the simulator. I definitely have it installed. If it's this one:
53°27'47.31"N
2°13'43.05"W

とても楽しいシーナリーをありがとうございます。
点滅する灯火がヘリポートの良い目標になります。
VH18 Royal Preston Hospital Lancashireがリトルナブマップに表示されないのが残念です。
Thank you for the very enjoyable scenery.
Flashing lights make good targets for helipads.
It's a pity that the VH18 Royal Preston Hospital Lancashire is not shown on the Little Nabmap.

Hi, thanks. It's been a while since I've flown in UK. Royal Preston is not working? I will take a look when I get a chance. There have been many updates since I created this

I can also unfortunately confirm that the sim crashes instantly when near one of your hospitals.

Thanks, I will add these to the list. I have been busy with work and have several emergency vehicle projects but I plan to make some updates (long overdue) to this pack as soon as I get time. I have a test version for St. George's London I hope to add to this pack in the next week.

What happened to St. Georges in London? It is no longer included.
2 years ago
Hi, St. Georges was part of another upload. I think this was taken down. I will try to get St. Georges added to my pack. I need to go through my pack and make updates. I have several other projects going on but will try to get that added soon. I already have completed some new locations that need to be added as well

I put the ICAO's in the bottom of the description above. If you use Little NavMap there is a POI csv file you can import that has all the hospitals, I can DM you that if you want. One of the vHEMS pilots is working on a scenery index that will be added to the heliops.uk website.
BTW I have updates that I am working on for this scenery pack. Hopefully I will get those updated soon.

Thanks for this addon. However could you please take a look at VH03 - Oxford, the helipad doesn't line up with the corresponding ground and so overlaps some of the roads. Would also be nice to see some more additions like an awaiting ambulance/crew.

I have looked at this issue. I think you are using Bing Data World Graphics. I have photogrammetry turned on but Bing Data is turned off. I initially had this on but did not like the weird terrain effects. For now I will add a disclaimer to the scenery page. I don't think I will use Bing Data personally but I can do some testing to see if I can find something that works for both, but that is unlikely looking at John Radcliffe. I will think about this.

Since the last update, as soon as I approach the helipads, the sim says I crashed into an object, it does not matter the altitude, so I know I am not near objects. Any ideas on how to correct this?
3 years ago
Hi, I have not seen this issue. Can you tell me the helipad(s) you have problems with? All helipads? I will test today and see if I have issues. I landed at John Radcliffe last night with no issues.

Would it be possible to create emergency scenery and missions alongside your helipads just like ChrisPiAviation did with his Northern Bavarian Helipads. It would add much more 'fly-ability' and fun to your amazing add-on
3 years ago
Hi, this scenery was created for the Helicopter Emergency Operations (HErO) app created by vNPAS. For this app you start at an authorized airport, you will soon get dispatched to an emergency scene to pickup a patient. You will then be sent to one of the hospitals included in this scenery to deliver the patient. When you arrive at the hospital and open the doors for the medical team you complete the mission. You can download the HErO app from vNPAS here on Flightsim.to. You will need to go to the vHEMS website and join the virtual air ambulance service. You should try this, future versions will include Police, Coast Guard, and Military operations.
you can download the HErO app here:
