Hey bud, looking at the metadata it appears the position, and possibly the heliport, is incorrect?

Here's some information incase it helps:

The version I checked in yesterday matches perfectly with all different areal photographs available (argcis, google, mircosoft) and gps information available.

To add: MAYBE there are some name changes because there is also a road calles Knocksedan Heliport. At both sources and locations there are heliport - at the one I created a scenery for and the one shown as Knocksedan at openstreetmap. They are both not far from each other - mapcarta and the other information. I would say this location here in XP is right. The newest areal photos are from google - they show a heli company where mapcarta shows the heliport you are talking about. But newest photos do not show any landing area there. So I guess it is moved to the new location where this scenery is build in XP. These pictures are all from late 22 and early 23 so it must be the current location and it looks like even openstreetmap seems to be outdated in this case. Pictures from 2019 and older show the heliport where openstreetmap points to at Knocksedan Road, but newer pictures show that that place has been filled with buildings while this place (XP scenery now) shows a new heliport. Additionally the road mentioned as "Knocksedan heliport" is called "Naul road" in newest sources. So with this information I am sure the port is now exactly where it is in XP - at "Forrest Great" / R108 and not at "Naul Road" formerly called "Knocksedan Heliport".

Just to confirm, are the coordinates for your scenery 53.44276, -6.26173 or 53.4543 -6.2656 ?

Thanks.

Gateway Scenery Map is back online and the heliport looks good.

Thanks for the scenery, Jehudale!
