Nothing too exciting, just helipads mostly on top of hospitals which are designated a major trauma unit in the UK. This is a work in progress with more planned! Sadly, you cannot spawn at these helipads due to a *feature* in the MSFS SDK which prevents the parking spots from being lifted up from ground level...
H135 Helicopter (optional but could be tricky landing a C152 on here...) - https://flightsim.to/file/8970/airbus-h135-helicopter-project
H135 Livery in screenshots (optional) - https://flightsim.to/file/13103/london-s-air-ambulance-helimed27
Used texture pack from GBZH35
Helipads are included so far (had to regress a hospital to get things working):
- St George's Hospital, London (EG80)
- The Royal London Hospital, London (EG83)
Planned helipads in this series:
- Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge
- James Cook University Hospital, Middlesborough
- John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford
- King's College Hospital, London
- Leeds General Infirmary
- Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham
- Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle
- Southampton General Hospital
- Southmead Hospital, Bristol
- Aintree University Hospital, Liverpool
- Derriford Hospital, Plymouth
- Hull Royal Infirmary
- Northern General Hospital, Sheffield
- Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham
- Royal Preston Hospital, Lancashire
- Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton
- University Hospital, Coventry
- University Hospital of North Staffordshire Stoke on Trent
- Salford Royal Hospital and Manchester Royal Infirmary
- Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital
- Bristol Royal Hospital for Children
- Royal Manchester Children's Hospital
- Birmingham Children's Hospital
- Sheffield Children's Hospital
- Alder Hey Children's Hospital
- St Mary's Hospital, London (EG82) - in real life this is actually an unmarked spot in Hyde Park where patients are then transported by land ambulance the last few miles.
Virtual National Police Air Service and Virtual Helicopter Emergency Medical Service - Coming Soon!

Was at St George's today and the helipad is pink. Has this scenery been updated to be SU6 compatible?

Really cool idea but thought you may appreciate knowing, I have spent much of the recent years in Queens Medical Center and they actually can't use their helipad due to structural integrity issues! I remember nurses and I talking about it one time because where I went to school the field where we did P.E (Fields near the Beeston Tennis Club) Is where they put the emergency aircraft down and an ambulance meets them there to go the last few miles. There was talks in 2017 about fixing the pad, however they got postponed 5 years so it's possible next year they may agree to it however given the economic situation locally and pressure on NHS I find it very hard to see that happening as an ex cllr in area and there's just not the will to spend the time, money and close parts of hospital needed to sort it out. (https://nottstv.com/qmc-postpones-plans-to-build-helipad-for-air-ambulance-by-five-years/)
Just thought given this is a simulator may be worth knowing as if going for realism/ adding what was missed then in theory QMC Helipad shouldn't be accessible even though they are the trauma center for the East Midlands and yes helicopters do still get. Though it's totally understandable if that isn't an issue for you. I just wanted to share as I know even local Councilor's didn't know of this at one point. Either way keep up the great work! I can't use helicopters currently as none seem to work with keyboard and mouse but as soon as I can this will be in my community folder! 😀

Problem with the Royal London Hospital, I can see it but cannot land as I disappear through the roof of the building. I do have the Orbx City Pack and there scenery south of England. I am assuming this is the cause of the problem. St George's is fine!
Great scenery and thanks for the hours of pleasure that you give poor old geiser!

I can't seem to get this to work in my sim. Is it because it not compatible with Orbx London Landmark city pack?
3 years ago
Hi, yes unfortunately there does seem to be a compatibility issue with the Orbx pack. I've got a man looking into it and I'm hoping to get the pack downloaded over the weekend to have a look myself. Sorry about that!

Ah, I'll have a look into the melted-ness! So Scottish Major Trauma Units will be next on my hitlist so may have to wait a little while before I make it North of the border.
