Good point Chris

I was about to ask about heliports - so If i build a heliport onto of say Haleakakla it has to have 15-20 feet ontop of the
normal afcad helipad? - if thats the case thats going to be a tad difficult for those considering helipad operations onto
say oil rigs

Hi Chris,

Glad you mentioned that, I'll remember to give a 10 feet runway length to the oil platforms I'll be adding to the database.

Leif, I don't think you need to do anything within FS since the client works only off a fixed distance from the geographic location given for the airport. Within the FlyNET database when adding a heliport, just put the size of the helipad (whatever size the square/circle may be) into the runway field. This way, when Konny starts automatically removing any airport that doesn't have a runway length in the runway field, the heliport won't get deleted. If the heliport has multiple helipads, just treat them like different runways (i.e. 20 + 20 + 30). That way someone knows that there are 3 helipads at the heliport. I don't think there's a need to declare the helipads at airports with full-sized runways though (like Baton Rouge, LA or one of the multiple airports in Scotland the serve the North Sea), only dedicated heliports that do not have a declared runway.
