• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Proper way to add Heli parking at location off airport

Hi,
I have an area in the Bahamas, where the airport is located on one island, and there is a heliport/seaplane base on a different island. I had added a couple of gates to the heliport to create a helicopter parking, and a dock for the seaplane. Problem is that in the simulator it does not specify it is a helipad parking spot. What do I need to do in order to have FSX & P3D read it as a heli parking and show up in simulator parking menu.
Thanks!!

I believe the best method would be to just assign a helipad start location for each spot in ADE. I don't believe that you can relabel the GA Parking spots with custom text. Even if you can, parking spots not linked to a runway (as you would normally get at a heliport) tend to cause issues, usually leading to a sim crash for me.

Are this an addon or default FSX/P3D airports? If you have done your changes with ADE, attach the ADE-file.
