hi Kirby
just reading your post in Flakiten's helipad-ship thread, and it reminded me of something i was meaning to ask you about the SNARK map - the two helipad runways near the King's residences.....
i've tried a few times to launch a heli from them, but the heli spawns some way away from the takeoff point, normally on the mountain slope, where it immediately just starts sliding down the mountain and crashing.......what d'you think could solve this problem?
i'm thinking that maybe it's because the heli spawns some distance from the actual take off point, as most planes....they need the runway length to start from, before actual takeoff.
a possible solution might be to specify another takeoff/landing spot, more or less the regular distance apart from the first, as per a regular runway....it doesn't really need to be 'represented' as in, having physical plates, or anything, just so that it allows the heli to spawn at the one end, in the correct place, on the launch pad.
this might cure the problem, obviously for takeoff, you'd need to assign the other one as the takeoff point, so that the heli will spawn in the correct place, near the first takeoff/landing point.....have i explained it properly? 
just a thought, i'm not all that experienced with doing runways yet, but slowly getting there....

Hi Malone,

The two helipads are experimental. Trying to stear away from the long standard runway as they are located at a King's Palace and Summer residence.

I was trying to think of away without taxi and stay points just a take off and landing point giving a helipad real life effect.

Being experimental that's all I could think of at the time.

Tried to see how it went and got the same thing as well (crashing down the cliff)

If anyone can help with this just one helipad, one helicpter and one take off and landing point it

would be a great help.(If it's at all possible) 

I was just experimenting to see if helicopters could take off and land on a helipad as in real life.

Hope someone can see a way to this 

I'm sure people will want to make helicoptor bases one day as well (numorous helipads all lined up).

Cheers Kirby

that's fine, bud...experimenting is what it's all about. 
i'll also have a look at it when i have a chance, maybe i can come up with a workable solution.
