Just going to use one thread for published projects
Here is Athlone, Ireland, Custume Barracks. I put about 100+ hours into this one and it is a very addicting approach, especially if you use weather. Athlone was previously not covered in FSX at all, and a user requested it from another forum. As I worked on it, the more I enjoyed the project.

Here is my latest work on Athlone Ireland if you enjoy flying helos

 

Here is my latest, Galway-Renmore.
This adds two new heliports, and a landclass correction. Landclass correction adds increases the density of the city of Galway, as well as plenty of VFR scenery. This includes Renmore Army barracks, Renmore Harbor, and Galway Hospital. I included Renmore Barracks as a heliport, even though I do not believe it is actually used as one, or often. Galway Hospital has two helipads, a primary active, and secondary that appears inactive, both available.

Lovely addon for Galway! Adds a few points of interest to a small but iconic Irish city which has been somewhat neglected in terms of detail in both the default FSX scenery and even in Orbx Ireland (with which it is fully compatible). Beautifully modelled hospitals with nicely lit helipads at the main one - great for night approaches! Thank you

I feel like Ireland was made for helicopter flying, tiny island. It freaks me out Athlone to Galway is a 15 minute flight in the MH65

Yes it is if you ignore the weather! Before the economic meltdown of 2008, there were about 300 commercial helicopters active in the country, which for a population of about 4.5 million was pretty intense!

Here is the shot of the Galway primary helipad. I forgot which site we were talking about the lights. But sure enough it is 18 lights, 18 was a little crowded, so I ultimately went with 16. I have yet to try to add weather, but the wind sock was such a beautiful subtle touch! Something Athlone did not feature.
