I saw some great screenshots at Flightsim. 1.9mb
FS2004 Scenery--Area 51, Groom Lake, Nevada (NV). An accurate model of Area 51 (just taxiways, runways and some ground textures), using real satellite photos, GPS coordinates and information from many other web sites. By Jeff Higgins
ftp://63.217.28.218/1scenery/AREA51.zip
5th down.

I downloaded this, and flew all around N37*14.5' W115*48.5' the coordinates listed in the readme, but could not find a thing. It's either very stealthy, or I am doing something wrong  _________________ Thanks Mike |

Oh yes, you have to restart to load new scenery.
Anyway, i was a little disapointed in that there were no buildings or anythig, so I reloaded an old one I had area51-3b.zip which has everything. _________________ Thanks Mike |

Bummer, the screenshots looked very good. I didn't load it yet, I guess I won't.
Thanks for the warning and the other zip name.

| oh and the reason why they deserted it is because so many people knew about it and they wanted to keep its location a secret so they moved it. |
