Hello, McDreamies. 

This is a makeover of RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall in conjunction with Skell300. 

Dunno why the RAF still has so many air bases when the Navy only has two in one corner of the country, I don't like this at all, so I'll become PM so I can find out. 

This is the largest helicopter base in Europe. There's also a UAV squadron, King Air Avengers, the Navy Hawks are hanging on by the skin of their teeth, there's a gliding club and plenty of interesting visitors too. 

A large proportion of the buildings have been replaced with custom versions, all the ground textures have been told to bog off and been replaced, plenty of detail dolloped generously on top, a new taxi system for your flying needs with some hangars to start in, new ground markings that are closer to reality, no shortage of lighting but very little on the aprons as you should be in your NVGs, and the odd exciting static model is waiting to greet you. 

Since it's the largest naval helicopter base for a long, long way it would be silly not to have some ships to land on, so there are a bunch to choose from. 

There might the odd bit of elevation strangeness, the site went bonkers in development, but it should be usable all the same. 

This could still use a fair bit more detail in places but I need to get down there with a very long lens before I can do that. In the meantime this will fill your naval hole. 

To the brim.

V 1.2

Clears up the odd mistake. Improves a few ground markings and models. Removes some. Adds some. 

Changes HMS Bulwark's route to a large loop closer to Culdrose. Starting coordinates are - 50.02714892367163, -5.40349167375980

Adds HMS Diamond to a larger group of ships heading out of Falmouth including the USS Wasp for your F35. This goes in a straight line for 30 or so miles and then respawns. Turning would be too upsetting. Starting coordinates are - 50.11503698653698, -4.97496740136348

Adds a cruise ship further up the coast that has been hijacked by a madman intent on impregnating everyone on it. It's your job to fly over there and stop him. Or join in. This is a loop. Starting coordinates are - 50.12755569233407, -4.62724736687866

And somewhere out towards France is a wee fella lost in a liferaft. I'm sure he'd like to see you. Might take some finding though. 

You'll need to download the latest version of this -  https://flightsim.to/file/27908/moving-boats-3d-model-library  to see them. If you don't want this silliness then you can delete them in the Scenarii folder in the package.
