An imagining of the Ascot Heliport (EGLT) that opens for one week every year for Royal Ascot.
The heliport is located just under 1 nautical mile east of the racecourse in what is normally a farmer's field (for the rest of the year there is a single helipad located at the racecourse itself - you can find this in the Bing imagery but I haven't added a selectable pad there).
The heliport has a FATO (a helicopter runway) aligned 15/33 - 230m x 30m. There's a selection of eight parking spots to the west to drop off and collect your high flying clients next to the chaffeured car line. The helipad is normally a drop-off and go affair, there's two longer term parking spots located to the east next to the fuel truck, fire truck and the temporary ATC building. There's also some new fences and barriers just to add a little extra eye candy.
This scenery is designed for use on VATSIM. It almost certainly won't work with AI traffic and hasn't been tested with this (sorry!). As with the real heliport, there's no night lighting.
Can I second WhiteHawk77, same request can you please revise ICAO code as it picks up the site (airport) as EGLT The Needles Lighthouse Helipad due to the shared ICAO code with the AlroCreation Needles Lighthouse Helipad (https://flightsim.to/file/18331/needles-lighthouse-helipad)...
Thanks in advance

Hey man, any chance you can update this with a different code as EGLT is used by the Needles Lighthouse helipad which was added in the 40th Anniversary update.

I went there a couple of years ago to watch the helicopters coming in. There should be a marquee on the racecourse side of the runway and there was an endless line of BMWs to take people to the races. Once everyone had arrived the helicopters parked around the whole edge of that field. Saw the queen and some other royals when we left as the road was closed for her arrival.
