*** 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.
