There is a Mount Pleasant (Falklands) scenery set for FSX.

I downloaded but haven't installed yet. Has some "battle" scenery with fires and smoke. The designers say they will add to it over time. Looks a bit sparse in this version's screenshots. :twisted:

It's not at all realistic, not even in the remotest sense. The types of buildings they have placed there don't represent anything actually on the base, how on earth they the designer(s) thought that RAF WW2 hangars would have been built in the late 80s is quite amusing.

I served there for 6 months.

How much could we sell Yuma for? At least $8.75 methinks. We're rich!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

I'd gladly pay for MAIW packages. What's produced by this team is far superior to most payware stuff (even if it is only for FS9 :P ).

I think the only way we would Ever charge is via donations...and then only if we wanted to do something with the site or perhaps for some type of contractor...think a programmer to make a proper installer, for example. Otherwise, it's just too much trouble.
