But seriously… I heard about this. I looking forward to seeing the results.

I’m guessing you are flying in Multiplayer (online, or Lan) and that other’s do NOT have the scenery installed? That would be a problem. Given that MS isn’t all that accurate about elevations I took some altitude based on the local terrain in FS and used that.

I applied a “Flatten” which shaves off hill and fills in holes around the airport to an height of 4530′, make it lower or higher and the edges of the airport become down in a hole or up on a hill.

Bottom line is that for successful online flying, all participants must have the same scenery installed.

Thanks for the Concorde redux, but especially for the Groom Lake/Area 51 scenery (which incidentally is better than the payware scenery currently available). I used to live near Mono Lake and the Benton area, which was basically a hop-skip-jump from Area 51 as the crow flies, or should I say, Aurora!
My best friend Dave, who is honest to a fault, and who lived for many years near Benton, told me about the time IT flew over (1986). He said it sounded more like a steam locomotive than an airplane, and was deafeningly loud as it flew really low over his (remote) house! He was an avid plane spotter (we had both already seen F-117s flitting moth-like, at extreme low level, around the hills surrounding the Lake, and the YF-22 also), and he knew the difference. This was no Nighthawk, or Have Blue: it was, he plainly told me, narrow, like a stretched arrowhead, “like a paper airplane”, and black in color. We also saw a lot of ‘doughnuts-on-a-rope’ (high-altitude) contrails at that time.
We also saw a brilliant ruby-red UFO (1988) from Dave’s car at about Midnight, in mid-summer (at the junction of Hwy 395 and the Benton road). We actually drove after it, like a couple of idiots. The UFO seemed to know we were following, and moved slowly, just ahead of us, matching our speed for at least 15 minutes (it was at approx. 2000 ft. altitude). Then it stopped, and so did we, getting out of the car for a better look. What an excellent sight–after hanging motionless for about five minutes, it suddenly picked up speed again, moving in a vector directly away from us, and within a few seconds it was gone, headed east, “towards Area 51″, said Dave. “All RIGHT!!”, said I.
