Description
EGHT Tresco Heliport on the Isles of Scilly in the UK.
This is a 360 metre grass runway not in the sim. Normally it's helicopter only but STOL aircraft do pop in every now and then.
If you haven't been to Tresco in the real world I recommend it. It's rather like being in The Prisoner - the same font everywhere and uniformed people scurrying around.
This has two plane parking spaces and two helicopter specific parking spaces - 100 and 101.
Foliage has been added along with fencing and some improved ground textures.
Animated humans have been added - https://flightsim.to/file/33166/animated-humans-library
V 1.6
Tweaks the terminal a little.
Adds some grass to the runway as that brown dirt wasn't a good look, last time I was there they were mowing it.
Cleans up some ground textures and markings.
The rest of the island and islands have been worked over to an extent in the scenery file that comes with this https://flightsim.to/file/3615/eghe-st-mary-s-airport-isles-of-scilly-uk-upgrade
And of course you'd be mad not to fly here from Penzance heliport - https://flightsim.to/file/12340/eghk-eg39-penzance-heliport

Do you have a screenshot? I've never had that issue and I've zero idea what would cause it. Maybe looking might tickle my mind.

Great heliport.
Looks great, but unfortunately there are a couple of problems:
The heliport can only be found if you know the ICAO as it is not shown on the map.
It is also listed as a water runway, which makes helicopter use impossible.
The slope is shown with a very light surface, which somehow doesn't look right.
It is compatible with SU11,
thanks for that

yeah I thought there was a conflict but was unable to find anything responsible. This version was released Sept 22 and i have flown since then and there were no issues. so i am also wondering if this is a SU issue.

Odd. Everything's been totally fine for me throughout.
I did notice a stage where you could only search with ICAO for scratch built places, but that seems to have changed back now.

having recently reinstalled MSFS i only installed Tresco and still not on map. i flew from St Mary's and Tresco runway is still light grey not grass.

I've just updated it so give it a try when I put it up later on today.
If it's still a no show then off to heaven it goes.

The one issue I have is the rocky outcrop assets to the south of the runway seem to be levitating in the latest update, which is a bit distracting to say the least. I've tried to fix it myself but can't figure out how to edit scenery for the life of me, so if you could address that in an update that would be Stirling.
Again, thanks for this brilliant contribution.
