Hi…,

Welcome.

We are working on it.

Out of interest, which FS do you use?

Cheers

Thanks Ian, I use x-plane 11, and I use airtrack to navigate. Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi…,

We can’t add the helipads in X- Plane. The scenery information comes from the APT.DAT file and the navdata updates doesn’t contain airports and runways.

Sorry about that.

Cheers
Ian

bumber, I thought helipads were sourced from the same place airports were sources, jeppersen ?

any chance of sourcing the helipad info from elsewhere ?

Hi,
as Ian tried to explain … it´s not the source - we have the helipads in our source but we can´t provide it in X-Plane due the layer hierachy of X-Plane. In X-Plane you can only update following base data:

  • waypoints
  • airways
  • navaids (VORs, NDBs, ILSs, GLS, GBAS, …)
  • holdings
  • grid mora
  • MSA
  • terminal procedures

but no airports per se, no runways … because these information are part of the global airport-file and this file will be supported by Laminar Research.

Hope that helps,
Richard

Thanks, was wanting to consume them from the “airtrack” app, which takes a data feed from navigraph. is that possible ? I have used the haversine API to upload them as waypoints, but would be nice if they were registered as airport items in “airtrack”
