[BROKEN]
The first time you run the app, MSFS MUST be closed. This is so scenery files can be linked to your community folder!
If you have model update problems, please try closing the app and then running again as an admin. This seems to mainly be an issue with how the app interacts with Win 11 and me not having Win 11 to test against!
For Coastguard operations you WILL need GAISTv2 AND a water license!
This update integrates with the HPG Action Pack (EMS / HEMS build >=278 only) and puts the mission on the in-aircraft tablet using the mission server feature. Full instructions are in the HErO app after you have selected a HEMS mission for HPG Action Pack users only.
We have created a custom incident generation system. Our app will randomly generate incidents for you to fly your team to. As is the nature with emergency work, you won’t know where you are likely to go until the job comes in!
You will need to register for an account from https://pilot.heliops.uk
Licenses (optional) can be purchased from https://license.heliops.uk/
Come and find us on Discord if you need some more support or just want to chat - https://discord.gg/RFJC2cNjwz
When in flight, don't forget to 'toggle' your co-pilot on for directions and off for pure silence!
The app is currently limited to the UK and you can start from any authorised base as shown in the map accessible from the main menu. For helipads we'd reccomend UK Major Trauma Hospital Helipads Support Project as a good starting point! There are loads more scenery and livery recommendations over on our Discord channel.
doesn't work with Sim Update 10, i would like good flight on yesterday evening ... sometimes shit happens - doesn't work after Sim World Update. Please repair this great Application! thx!

Hey, sorry you've had a problem. Can you try deleting your settings.ini file and trying again? Maybe worth downloading this latest update too.

Thanks for making this free to the community.
I try to use it at least once a month to get a HEMS fix!!
Just a suggestion... I use another couple of add-ons by Mamu Design for power lines, solar farms and chair lifts. The power lines are particularly relevant in the UK. Perhaps you can include it as a recommended addon.

Thanks :) Yeah, I really like those addons so will do that now!

Hi, Heliops.uk,
Still in love with Hero app.
I just have a question here : How do I do to download Bielefeld ?
It does not seem to be in the package Uk major... and I don't find it anywhere on Flightsim.to.
Thanks in advance and keep up the great work !!
2 years ago
Hi, I've got the answer by myself, going on discord. The Bielefeld scenery is not available for now and, in any case, it wouldn't be useful since the Hero app is still limited to the UK. The developpers say that it will expand outside the UK. So we just have to be patient. I will keep on enjoying the beautiful sceneries and weather of the Great Britain !!

Absolutely love this app, and love the potential of where this will move forward! One request would be to have an option to turn down a flight if weather would be below minimums. Obviously one could just adjust the weather so that it is always flyable, but it might add a level of realism for those of us who fly using live weather. I can't wait to see this add the US, especially working in HEMS in the state of Michigan. Keep up the awesome work!

Hey, thanks for the great feedback. The options to decline a mission and also to be diverted to a higher priority call are currently in development although no release date as yet :)

Is it possible to get support for taking off from NPAS Almondsbury? It's the base for the Great Western Air Ambulance. https://flightsim.to/file/22277/pasa-national-police-air-support-gwaac-almondsbury-england-uk

Hey, you should be able to start from that location already. I need to update the list here really!

hey thanks for this have been having great fun since day one, with this new version however i dont get any directions despite clicking on the belt buckle of the co pilot in h135. he doesnt disappear regardless if i click it or not he is always there. he gives me an initial bearing and nothing more until im on scene (coastguard) once patient is loaded im given one bearing, this makes it quite difficult especially when trying to do a night rescue in storm eunis from a ferry out near hollyhead and then being told to take him to aintree liverpool (despite bangor hospital being closer) i dont mind a longer flight but in vr without some direction is proves difficult. but this does not stop it being awesome iv paid the licenses and will continue to do so and hope it helps with development. 😊

Thanks for the feedback and glad you are enjoying the app! I'll have a look into the issues you're experiencing and see what can be improved :)

Would it be possible to add an option to get current, updated directions at the push of a button while in flight?
2 years ago
Yep, just click the co-pilot's seat buckle to make them visible (H135/H145 only) and you'll start hearing directions again :)
