Thanks!

[@patriotsix5880]

Wow! Nobody has ever done that for me before. I don't know what to do next. Thank you, Hector.

[@neilrossow7964]

Good instructions. Every time I watch one of your videos it opens up soo much more possibilities for adding new scenery. Thanks.....Neil

[@patriotsix5880]

Thank you, Neil. I plan to do a companion to this video. Adding textures is simple, so I want to ensure I add to this so everybody gets it. It is always a battle between details and video length.

[@ScorpionSimulates]

Again, thanks for the great tutorial! I believe I used this video as my guide a while back for another hospital with a ground pad. Thank you for looking out for us rotor heads!

[@patriotsix5880]

You are welcome.

[@hrbeta]

My mind is blown by your professionalism 👏🏻 Thanks.

[@patriotsix5880]

Thank you, Hector. What a kind comment. Be well, friend. Happy flying and scenery building.

[@keithdolezel488]

best tutorials.. i finally have a clear path on creating custom scenery thanks to you.

[@patriotsix5880]

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

[@japp3playzz]

Oh G-sus thanks to u finally i will put some helipads on a tall building...great! 22:45 Great teacher Patriot six is ! (yeah , talking in Yoda mode)

[@patriotsix5880]

You found me, I am happy. Helipads you can add, you want, wherever.

[@japp3playzz]

Polygons my new friends and how to handle them :) Thanks!

[@patriotsix5880]

Thanks. Polygons are probably the most important tool in scenery work. Here is a more extensive polygon tutorial if you haven't found it yet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3y9pmSEntuom8U

[@Artendo100]

Thank you for the Video.. will try it today..!

[@patriotsix5880]

Cool

Hi Steven, Did you intend this youtube video to appear just in 360 resolution? (maybe because of it's length?). I ask this, as in your previous videos they have been available in much higher resolution, which is awesome!. :) Sadly I cannot read the text in the various developer windows due to this lower resolution, but your excellent presentation gets me around 'most bends in the road" !

[@patriotsix5880]

The upload is in 4K. I checked, and it is still processing. Wow! I uploaded this over 24 hours ago. Sometimes it takes a bit, but this is the longest I have seen. Give it time. It will eventually complete processing, and higher resolutions will be available.

[@nbrettoner]

@@patriotsix5880 Yay!, happy~happy. :)

[@patriotsix5880]

@@nbrettoner It appears the processing is complete now.

[@martinlukas3945]

Hello, I didnt see all of the video, but I'm looking for a way to start the helicopters in cold and dark state from the asobo helipads. By default they always start with engines on. Any ideas? Thanx alot😊

[@patriotsix5880]

Hello Martin. Thanks for watching and finding me. I have noticed the same phenomenon. I do not fly helicopters and only use a rotorcraft for tutorials. So, I know little about the machines. I typically fly the PMDG 737 series, and PMDG has built provisions in the aircraft where you can save personal startup configurations. So, I Need to educate myself on how rotorcraft work. I will see what I can find and report back. I'll be sure to let you know if I find something helpful.

[@patriotsix5880]

Hello again, Martin. I went down the rabbit hole looking for this issue. There is a lot of chatter and confusion. A thought is floating around that the copter is ruining because the helipad is technically a starting point. Even in fixed-wing aircraft, the plane will be active if you choose a starting point. So changing from start to a GA parking spot might work. I will let you know if I can do this. I should be able to try this weekend at some point and let you know what I find.

[@martinlukas3945]

@@patriotsix5880 I built an airport with just one transparent runway and a parking spot right where the heliport is located. That seems to work.
