Okay, so what is this sorcery?
Have you ever noticed that nearly every airport, airfield and many, many bush strips are available to choose from in the sim. But why limit yourself to just airports?
Here’s where my neat scenery comes in: MSFS Autogen Helipads
This tool relies on openstreetmap data and converts helipads from there into MSFS scenery
While converting it takes into account various parameters to represent these helipads as good as it’s possible in the sim.
Features? Here!
It all really depends on what data is available in openstreetmap, but:
- It’s able to generate correct shape helipad
- Helipads that dont have ICAO set in OSM will have a custom
5-character designator - Hospital helipads have correct hospital markings
- There’s a lot of variation between helipads, examples:
- Grass helipads will have a white outline around them to tell where exactly they are
- Helipads will come with windsocks to help establish wind direction
- Rooftop helipads outside of photogrammetry cities will come with a custom helipad 3D model placed on the roof to allow for using them without dealing with MSFS Building collisions that often don’t work properly
- Helipads will flatten the area around them a bit, as MSFS terrain mesh isn’t always as flat as real life
- Helipads come with a HELIPAD start and a PARKING start so you can start both Cold And Dark and Ready To Depart
FAQ
Here you can find frequently asked questions and most commonly encountered issues.
Is there a map available?
Yes! You can get acces to a google map on https://simfocus.com/autogen, or use littlenavmap to find out the ICAO of your departure helipad, search for it in the searchbox in the sim and select it there to be able to spawn on it
I don't see helipads on the worldmap, why?
Due to high amount of helipads, if they weren’t hidden it would be unusuable due to low framerate. I have included a worldmap filter inside of autogen helipads package, that hides them from the worldmap. To select your departure helipad, use littlenavmap or the map on this website, and search for the helipad in the in-sim search window using it’s name or ICAO code.
I have a scenery conflict! Can i somehow exclude one helipad from being autogenerated?
Absolutely! Navigate to community\simfocus-autogen-helipads-world\Scenery\simfocus-autogen-helipads-World\scenery and remove the .bgl file with the helipad you want to get rid of. The names represent ICAO codes of helipads.

Does it have X helipad?
Probably! It relies on helipads from Openstreetmap which is mostly created by individuals like you! If you’re curious whether or not your local helipad is mapped already at openstreetmap.org, you can check it easily there, or on the map below.
If it’s there, it means it will be available in MSFS, if not – you can just add it! and it will appear with the next update of Autogen Helipads
Below you can find a map with all helipads currently available to use
It features total of over 45000 helipads all over the world
