Glad I was able to help. 
And I believe all of us here at FSDEV owe a debt of gratitude to Arno for all his work on MCX, that makes so many things easier.
Speaking of Arno's MCX, I read recently he had made some breakthroughs implementing lights for MSFS24, and IIRC, he already had fine-tuned working with lights in MCX for MSFS20.
Since you live local to the ENSX helipad, I imagine you may know which lights now need to be implemented for realism of scenery display at night, and the photos I find on the internet seem to show changes over time from a number of different dates.
I suppose if one used a camera with a telephoto lens or binoculars from surrounding parking lots and buildings it would be a good update on what is actually being used now on the perimeter of the ENSX Helipad.
Here is a photo I saw which seemed to show on corners and midpoints of the Helipad 75 to 80 foot span, quartz-halogen or xenon element light fixtures with a visor to direct light only across the Helipad surface, to prevent blinding the pilot(s), in addition to perimeter edge lights.
IIRC, MCX can assign "emissive" light cone configurations without having to fine tune that within a 3D modeling application.
Additionally, this photo shows Red (Hazard ?) lights at the NE corner adjacent to the spiral stair cage.
This photo, shows flag poles on the Helipad ('Rotor Bait' to test pilot skills after the expensive SAR Queen "Roll over"
? )
The flag poles and the shorter raised light supports seem to emphatically say "Do not fly over St. Svithun Hotell"
In other photos I have seen up to (3) illuminated wind socks, (2) being remote to the Helipad itself.
As you may know by now, there are many resources available to utilize within the MSFS default 3D model libraries.
Have fun with the next phase of development at ENSX... you are certainly off to a good start.
