Does FSX native ATC recognize and supports flight plans to be executed by Helicopters ?Is there a way to vertical take off directly from the pad or a parking stall and not to taxi and take off like fixed wing planes ?and still be under control ?Same question as above - but for VOX -ATC .Thanks PS

I've only seen Helicopters recognized that taxi and takeoff.

You might want to check out Heli Traffic 2009. Works with FS9 and FSX.http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=helitraffic"Heli Traffic 2009 is a Flight Simulator module that adds realistic AI helicopter traffic.Flight Simulator has supported AI traffic for several years and versions now. While offering realistic fixed wing AI aircraft, Flight Simulator does not natively support AI helicopters. There are a few add-on AI helicopters available, but they all take off, fly and land like airplanes.Heli Traffic 2009 is the first Flight Simulator add-on that adds realistic AI helicopters that take off and land vertically, fly like helicopters and use helipads and not runways. This innovative product brings it's own AI engine that fully controls AI helicopters, instead of relying on FS to fly them. This allows a much greater degree of control, which translates into a realistic helicopter flight behavior."
