Helicopters for asphalt and concrete in realism mode

[Ale is Yum!]

You can't construct a cargo helipad attached to an asphalt or concrete plant in realism mode, and I can't find a storage or factory mod that allows you to load or unload asphalt or concrete with helos. Any ideas?

[esbenmf]

Why not?

What is right, is that you cannot rely solely on a helicopter CO in realistic mode. You have to use a CO with (ground)vehicles to construct asphalt and concrete plants with attached cargo helipads.

Why? Helipad has road connection. Road CO builds such helipad just fine using this road connection.

Didn't developers add buttons to the heli CO for loading materials on avia customs?

Via customs doesn't work if I remember correctly. A plant with Heli pad is necessary for that.

Here is what I built in realistic mode.

I hope that helps.

The helipads attach directly to the asphalt and concrete plant. Like the fire dept. Use the regular pads. Not cargo.

I made my own heli concrete and asphalt plants. You just add landing pads to the plant.

This is my ugly homemade helicopter asphalt plant. https://imgbox.com/EkxFk0dz

I didn't even bother to keep the trucks out of the way, works all the time.

so this might be a stupid question but, how do you start from scratch if evrything requires asphalt on hardcore mode, including creating an asphalt plant?

[MrKrabs]

You can get Asphalt and Concrete from the custome building.
This was a big change in one of the previous updates.
Now a player is able to build anything from scratch without a village or city required.

Seems to be working now, but not with the vanilla plant. Thanks for the advice.

Next thing I make will be a huge construction office with 32 vehicles and 3 helicopters, see if that works.

Hello game comrades, even if I make myself ridiculous with this question but which of the helicopters can please transport concrete or asphalt. In real life, they carry buckets underneath them to supply the mountain huts. I am not inexperienced with the game but I have not figured out how to do this. Thanks for a tip

All helicopters can actually it's as you described they carry a hopper underneath.

I struggled with the same question a while ago for those products are not listed as transportable good at the choppers menue.
I just gave it a shot and realized that it works.

[Bailing_Out]

I made the construction office but it will only hold 30 vehicles and no matter what I do for some reason, it will pick one of the sources for materials or workers and it will not stay assigned. It has 3 helicopters but it has that problem so it won't work. That is not in the regular building ini file, I will have to look elsewhere for the problem.

I started a new city after the metro update and now I can no longer attach asphalt and concrete to a helipad. Anyone else have this problem? It was working before the update.
