Vlieland heliport (Dutch: Helihaven Vlieland) is a small heliport used mainly by the Royal Netherlands Air Force for search and rescue flights or medical transports from the island of Vlieland. It was home to one Agusta-Bell 412SP rescue helicopter, which was usually stationed on the island during the day and at Leeuwarden Air Base at night until it was retired in 2016. While the heliport remains under military control, medevac operations are now carried out primarily using an Airbus Helicopters H145 operated by ANWB. The heliport has one landing pad and a single hangar.
By law, use of the heliport is restricted to military, police and medevac helicopters and the number of movements is limited to 1500 a year.
This Scenery:
This is my rendition of the Heliport, I was looking for something a bit out of my comfort zone for my next project and an area I am not personally familiar with, and saw a few requests for this project.
Some artistic liberties were taken on my part as there are very few pictures available online of the new Ambulancezorg building, but I did the best I could with what is available...that being said, I hope you enjoy!
For Best Results and in order to view the windsock it is recommended to download the Windy Things library available here on flightsim.to.
PLEASE NOTE: There is an issue where helicopters whose aircraft type are incorrectly coded as Helicopter instead of Rotorcraft (as it should be per the SDK) by the livery creator are prevented from loading directly onto a Heliport. If you get an error message when using a project such as the HPG 135/145 saying you can't start here, and particularly if you are using a 3rd party livery that hasn't been updated, you will need to manually update it for it to work (until the livery is updated by the livery artist and they follow the SDK); it's a fairly simple fix, as follows:
Navigate to: Downloaded Livery Folder > SimObjects > Airplanes > Livery Name
Open the aircraft.cfg file in that location with a text editor
Change the ui_typerole="Helicopter" to ui_typerole="Rotorcraft"
Save the changes, reload, and you should be good to go!
The main helicopter packages from HPG have already been updated, so as long as you have the latest version downloaded you should only need to fix 3rd party downloaded liveries whose creators have not fixed this themselves.
Project Overview:
This is version 1.0 with handcrafted building, gates, fences, etc., and custom ground textures. This version focuses solely on the immediate area surrounding the heliport itself. My plan is to keep this project ongoing, and I plan on adding more details to the surrounding areas in future updates (the marina area next door, etc.) If anyone has any suggestions or comments please feel free to forward them along.
Thank you!
