    This is really well done! Thanks! As a suggestion, you could also add small wooden style helidecks (British Columbia style) perched at the top of one of the cliff faces. This is excellent scenery, and great fun too!.

    I had no idea how much I wanted it until you crafted it, and Mathew Crawford's video dropped into my feed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuScC2wfSW0 So thank you both.
    1 Q. Are there any flight plan files, that have a waypoint for evry training area? If NOT, do I need to search all islands, or just the large one to find them all?

    Hi Tangles, I’ve had the download of what I am convinced is a great asset for us Helicopter pilots. However, having tried to activate it by adding the extracted folder to my community folder over several days without success. The folder I place is often deleted by MSFS 2024 or it does not work, I’ve tried every element of my Community folder. I understand from feedback kindly provided by your followers that as I was in Beta 1.6.64.0, now 1.7.6.0 it won’t work. Can you please assist me. My thanks in advance…

    Sadly even after many attempts to use this awesome add on for us helicopter pilots I am for reasons that I fail to understand I cannot see or use this Heli training area. This is in no way a complaint. It is a plea for assistance to join in on this very useful training area. I can see the island and I’ve flown at the island but can never get to use this add-on. It is included in my community folder along with every other add-on that’s working. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. mtia

    Hi!
    I’ve now spent about 3 hours flying your Rotorland addon, and I’m really grateful that you’re taking the time to develop this for the community. I have a few suggestions for improvements based on my experience:
    1. Collision Issues: The concrete blocks intended for one-skid landings are not "solid" objects, so the skids fall right through them. Could you perhaps replace them with solid assets? I noticed the white radar domes on the water platforms are solid—maybe you could repurpose those for the ground course?
    2. Platform Friction: The agricultural truck platform also lacks "solidity" or friction. The helicopter won't stay put without constant cyclic input. I’ve experienced this on several other platforms throughout the addon as well.
    3. Invisible Barriers: When attempting to land on the oil tanker pad, the helicopter hovers in the air above it rather than touching down on the deck.
    4. Livestock Integration: Would it be possible to add some sheep and cows to the large open field next to the agricultural truck? It would be fun to practice herding them. If possible, could they be fenced in so they don't wander into the woods? I’m not sure if different fence types affect their pathing, but perhaps using buildings as boundaries would help keep them contained.
    5. Logging Platforms: Regarding the logging platforms on the forest slopes, I was picturing the small ones made of actual logs. It would be great to have a variety of sizes to practice on. Additionally, placing them in clearings surrounded by tall trees would allow us to practice steep approaches and precision landings.

    Great idea! Is there any chance to have a MSFS 2020 version?

    I no longer have FS2020 on my crappy PC. Have you tried it at all? I'd be interested to know.

    It does not show in MSFS 2020. I'm afraid backward-compatibility does not work here. What a pity! Anyway, I might upgrade later to MSFS 2024. Thank you!

    Nice work; will feature in new video. I knocked down one of the pylons -- how do I reset it?

    The legend himself! I'm guessing reset? I'll see if I can do the same and go from there.

    maybe remove some trees around the redbull pylones to allow very low level flight

    Hi. Was looking forward to trying this out after watching a YouTube video today. Unfortunately, no matter which zip extractor I use, when I try to put the unzipped file into the community folder, I get the dreaded 'File name to long etc'. Any ideas welcome

    Try to extract it in the 'Downloads' folder first, then move the unzipped folder.

    V1.2 Removed float planes Added an Oil rig - WIP Added Jersey barriers just south of the start area near the Redbull pylons in a square formation to practice 1 skid landings. (Thanks SkyTorque75) Added 3 sloped helipads up the hill from the Ag truck (WIP - again thanks SkyTorque75) Added a square apron area to the East to practice a version of the 'Dipsy Doodle' maneuver. (Thanks A320_Simulations) More on the way. Thanks to everyone who's downloaded and commented.
