Based on the request to have a list of helipads from multiple people in the community, I would like to present a place where the community can combine that information until there is a better solution.

For example in Haifa VOR 115,3 MHZ ROP 255/31 NDB 386 kHz RMD 317/26 VOR = The navaid is a VHF Omnidirectional Range beacon. 115.3 MHz = The radio frequency used to tune into the beacon (MegaHertZ in this example). ROP = The three leter identifier for the name of the beacon. 255 = The radial from the VOR of the identified heliport location. (can loosely be thought of as the direction you need to go from the beacon to get to the location). 31 = The distance from the VOR of the identified heliport location.

xvii-Dietrich Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I had just been flying the SA342 on the Syria map and thought to come here to start a thread like this. Wow... you guys are way ahead of me. Nice work! The "invisible FARP" static object can turn all of these into working spawn points, ... EDIT : Sadly, not true. The "invisible FARP" will delete some of the helipads. Seems to knock out the static object on the map. I've placed the portable TACAN beacons at a few. However, is there a way to get some of the other NDBs operational at these sites? Another thing that occurred to me was to make a huge static template with the Invis-FARPS and accessories with appropriate national assets. Anyway, thanks again for compiling all this... it is a terrific resource! Edited December 31, 2020 by xvii-Dietrich Corrected the point about invisible FARPs.

shu77 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 With the upcoming release of the next Syria Update I've been thinking about how I capture this document into my airfield diagrams. I would like to adopt a very simple format for each heliport with a photo/screenshot of the landing pad as below. Catching a screenshot of each non-airfield is a big project in itself so If you would like to contribute and get an acknowledgement in the next release can I ask you to post a screenshot below with a reference to the relevant heliport in Baileys document and I will incorporate your screenshot into my next release. 3 Hornet, Super Carrier, Warthog & (II), Mustang, Spitfire, Albatross, Sabre, Combined Arms, FC3, Nevada, Gulf, Normandy, Syria AH-6J i9 10900K @ 5.0GHz, Gigabyte Z490 Vision G, Cooler Master ML120L, Gigabyte RTX3080 OC Gaming 10Gb, 64GB RAM, Reverb G2 @ 2480x2428, TM Warthog, Saitek pedals & throttle, DIY collective, TrackIR4, Cougar MFDs, vx3276-2k Combat Wombat's Airfield & Enroute Maps and Planning Tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shu77 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 LOL, I had a little time up my sleeve so made a start and used Option A. As it is the easiest to maintain, C felt a little too much like a reuse of Baileys work with a picture. I like B Better but the positioning of the arrows becomes specific to the image, so I may look at transitioning to that style as a next step.
