FSX NL2000 V4.2 Heliports Scenery

This focused heliport expansion integrates seamlessly with the broader NL2000 v4 suite, enhancing helicopter operations across the Dutch landscape. It introduces a meticulous arrangement of helipads, reflecting real-world configurations found at hospitals, corporate facilities, and industrial sites. Developed with modular precision by The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team, the package requires the NL2000 v4.0.20 installer and is available as freeware for FSX enthusiasts.

Expanded Dutch Helicopter Infrastructure

The included heliports add depth to the existing NL2000 environment by targeting locations that play significant roles in civil, administrative, and offshore functions within the Netherlands. Many of these installations are located near major urban centers, while others serve coastal or remote locales, replicating diverse helipad placements. This ensures helicopter pilots benefit from authentic touchdown positions and visually consistent surroundings.

Compatibility With NL2000 v4 Modules

Designed exclusively for integration with NL2000 v4.2, this add-on leverages all existing architectural data and ground textures relevant to rotorcraft operations. Each heliport model aligns with precise coordinates, matching local structures to satellite references where possible. This approach leads to consistent imagery when combined with the other NL2000 scenery segments. Users who already rely on the main NL2000 environment will find this expansion a natural addition, with minimal configuration required.

Key Installation Details

• Requires NL2000 v4.0.20 installer for proper setup.
• All files reside in a dedicated folder structure for easy modular management.
• Integration ensures no conflicts with existing NL2000 packages.

Technical Implementation Highlights

Each heliport component encompasses detailed polygons, high-resolution textures, and localized objects to accurately depict ground markings and facility boundaries. These details capture the variety of helicopter-specific sites in the Netherlands, whether they be hospital rooftops in city centers or private pads near the North Sea coastline. In addition, local references guide the portrayal of approach lighting, ensuring realistic night-flying conditions.

Ensuring Realism For FSX Pilots

Utilizing local topographic data, the developers paid close attention to approach paths and altitude constraints around these helipads. As a result, rotorcraft flight planning benefits from a closer approximation to real-world procedures commonly experienced in the Netherlands. The add-on’s fidelity aims to satisfy pilots who engage in search and rescue drills, medical transport training, or offshore flights.
