Reccomendations:
1. Download a good vehicle to drive around Mooney Harbor, Bimini and any of the other sceneries! On Mooney Harbor there are road signs and hidden areas to explore.
2. Download a boat or two….I’ve placed numerous docks in the scenery.

Hints:
Key West
1. The roof of the Margarita Air Hangar is hardened and can be landed on by rotorcraft or Helicopters.
2. The airport has night lighting so check it out after dark.
3. The grill on the deck next to Caribbean Seaplanes hangar is fired up between 12:15 and 12:45 pm and again between 6:15 and 6:45.
4. The tiki lamps burn between dusk and dawn.
5. There is moving traffic on the road around the airport.
Key West Docks
1. The entire dock surface is hardened for landing.
2. The Heliports on the cruise ship and yacht are hardened for landing

Mooney Harbor
1. The ramp to the seaplane dock can be taxied up. I recommend drifting on to the ramp. When the aircraft comes to a complete stop, raise the gear and taxi. Also, you can drive off the other side with one of the cars or trucks.
2. I know the next to last blue road sign show up a black…but it’s a glitch in the program, and I’m not going back to fix it.
3. The tiki lamps are lit from dusk to dawn.
4. The grill fires up at the same times as the one in key west.
5. There is special night lighting throughout the scenery.
6. The observation deck at “Dolphin Bay” can be driven up so that you can watch the birds, dolphins, and shark.
7. There are fireworks nightly between 10:01 and 10:45 p.m.
8. Reddog’s Landing can be driven or landed on.
9. There is a hidden treasure chest on the island with the ship wreck.
Fort Jefferson
Same as above and more!
Coco Beach
There is a Heli-pad a top the “Caribbean Seaplanes and Margarita Air Building.
Miami
There is a Heli-pad on top of the tower it is hardened and landable, just don’t hit the sides or ladder….
