RAF Mount Pleasant (EGYP) is a Royal Air Force station in the south Atlantic. It is home to between 1,000 and 2,000 British military personnel, it remains the newest purpose-built RAF station. It is home to 1435 Flight, a Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 unit.

My aim is to offer a good approximation of RAF Mount Pleasant, and a significant improvement over the autogen, however it's not possible to be super accurate since there is very limited photographic reference material available - I'll strive to make it as good as I can within that scope! Countless hours have gone into this project - so if you like it please take the time to leave a review and rating below. 

I've made a wide range of improvements over the original autogen airport:

• Custom models with PBR materials and textures for many buildings, including:
  • Main passenger terminal
  • Large main hangar (thanks to Vortex SD for helping out and creating this model!)
  • Hardened air shelters
  • Control tower
  • Hospital
  • Fire station
  • Dozens of misc hangars and warehouse buildings
• Where custom models aren't used, most of the remaining autogen buildings have been replaced with more suitable Asobo models.
• Replacement apron and taxiway textures, hand-drawn polygons to match satellite imagery materials
• Replacement of all runways, parking and taxiways.
• Terraforming everywhere. This has been quite a challenge to avoid any nasty transitions between taxiways while following the undulations of the terrain - drop me a message with details if you find any problems.
• Static aircraft
• Improved runway markings, arrestor cables etc, including custom model for RHAG.
• Added clutter, vehicles and other airfield equipment
• Added dirt, tyre marks, etc to improve realism
• Added more painted lines to taxiways, roads, walkways, aircraft parking ramps, using custom painted line textures for improved realism vs the stock lines.

DEPENDENCIES

REQUIRED DEPENDENCY: I've used some models from the excellent RAF Lossiemouth scenery by nickb007 -  thank you for letting me do this Nick. You do not need any of the seven dependencies listed as required for RAF Lossiemouth.

OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: We Love VFR region 1, for the radio mast models.

REQUIRED DEPENDENCY: Various Sim, World and City Updates. If in doubt I suggest you install them all, but I've definitely used several buildings from Oceania World Update XIII.
