Hi there, Beda!

I have a feature request to this great little airfield. I try to describe: If you're standing on the runway facing towards the large hangar, and looking northeast, there is (to the left of the wind sock) a separate little hangar, on the left handside of the large hangar, nearby the road, with a little tarmac area in front of it. This is a private hangar, where the Schäff family of Treuchtlingen has put their private Agusta helicopter in there. It does NOT belong to the "Luftsportverein Treuchtlingen-Bubenheim e.V.". So it would be great, if you could 1.) place a helipad on the tarmac area in front of this little hangar, so that it becomes an "official little heliport", and 2.) remove the single tree standing there at the front left corner of the tarmac area, which makes an approach via helicopter quite difficult.

Thanks a lot for all your efforts in creating and providing these great detailed airfields! Best regards "from the neighborhood"! ;-)

Hi Nik74,

thanks for your feedback! Are you also satisfied with a ramp start on that pad, so that you can spawn your helicopter there (no static aircraft will appear there if you want to fly an approach)? I would prefer this as it's not an official helipad and no one is allowed to use it except the owner. Can you also post a screenshot of the interfering vegetation? I don't see trees that are too high in the vicinity, as the helicopter's usual approach/departure is from/to the northwestern side.

Greetings Peter

Hi Peter,

thanks a lot for your reply. Yes, I suppose a ramp start on that little platform for spawning helicopters should be enough. Regarding the tree I have prepared a screenshot. I will use the "Report an Issue" feature here to be able to upload it. Thanks a lot for all your efforts! Best regards!

Hi Peter, I have another feature request to this airfield. I don't know if it's possible to realize. In the southwest of the runway there is a little grass field (between the Altmühl and the runway). In the corner of this grass field you've placed a car and a tree. That's OK. This grass field is used for gliders for winch launch. Launching direction is always heading northwest. I don't know if it's possible to place a takeoff point here for gliders to be able to do winch launches?

And – off-topic – I have a scenery request: You are creating such great sceneries/airfields around (Süd-)Mittelfranken. Maybe you could create the Martha-Maria-Krankenhaus in Nürnberg with its helipad as well, sometime in the future? This landing site is a little demanding for heli pilots because the hospital is in a little forest, so the area is surrounded by trees, and nearby the hospital buildings are some trees as well.

Thanks a lot for all your efforts! Best regards!

Hi Nik74,

unfortunately it's not possible to define a certain glider winch launch location. You have to use the runway for this.

Thanks for your praise, glad you like it! I'll do this hospital with pleasure, I think the identifier will be something with XED7... It will take some time though. XED7H Muenchen-Harlaching is quite challenging too btw. ;)

Greetings Peter
