A very simple add-on to provide helipads at the 3 major hospitals in North East Scotland:
- Raigmore in Inverness (H099)
- Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (EG97)
- Ninewells Hospital, Dundee (EG98)
Each gets a standard MSFS 'medical' helipad located where the IRL ones are. Slightly bigger than IRL and with a fresh lick of paint, they are easier to spot from the air and slightly easier to land on. At Ninewells, I've also terraformed the slope to provide a flat pad and cleared out the trees. Wind socks added at Aberdeen and Ninewells
These are all 'new' airports and will appear on the world map and in-game nav databases. The ICAO numbers are ones I just made up - if you know what they use IRL, let me know!
Also included is a small enhancement to Inverness Airport (EGPE) adding parking (spots 99 and 98) and helipads for both the HM Coastguard base and the Scottish Air Ambulance service. This will work with both the stock airport and the UK2000 payware (which features in the screenshots).
Only base MSFS scenery assets are used so there are no dependencies
To use simply unzip and put the four folders into your community.
Featured in the screenshots is the amazing Hype Performance Group H145 HEMS variant in HMCoastguard and Scottish AIr-Ambulance Service liveries, which you can download on flightsim.to. If you want to use these or any other 3rd party H145 liveries made before SU11 to spawn onto a helipad, the 'typerole' in the aircraft.cfg file of the livery must be edited to 'rotorcraft'. Please refer to the H145 manual for further info.
Great to see more hospital helipads coming out... I would hope your next update to this moves the helipads a little closer to there real world counterparts like the way each of these are in my pack https://flightsim.to/file/11904/scotland-helipads

Ah, I see you did a few already. Didn't turn up on my search otherwise, I might have saved myself the effort!
The 3 pads are all located the same as IRL, but the airport icon may be off a little on the World Map as that's based on lat-longs for the hospital taken from Google Maps
