Something you will need to add to the helicopters... two AFCAD overlays for them to operate from in accordance wih the flightplans. I forgot these would be necessary.
This small archive includes two AFDs for *MY* helicopter setup at Kelowna Airport where most of these helicopters are operating from. These are "overlays" for the helicopters that are independent of the main AFCAD. As I don't use an official addon for Kelowna these are unique to my setup and will probably not align properly with any Afcad or scenery you may use. In my system there are two helicopter operating areas, one coded XLWS, which is where Okanagan Mountain helicopters operate from. The other, coded XLWN (because it's in the northern end of the airport) is where Skyline Helicopters and Great Slave Helicopters operate from (AW119 and LongRanger).
If you use these you may well need to be able to adapt them to get them to inter-operate with the main airport.
What will happen is that all helicopters will operate from the grass areas opposite from the hangars and on the far side of the runway. It's not 100% accurate but is the only way to get helicopters to play nice with the airliner traffic that passes close to their parking places. The far side of the runway is actually where helicopter training is undertaken in real life, but charter operations generally lift straight from their ramp space.
Please adapt these as much as you like to conform to any layout you have for Kelowna. They are set up to align with the Orbx scenery that is out there for later sims. Any other setup is less likely to align.
