You have come across an upgrade of SFAL Port Stanley Airport in the Falklands Island. Well done you.
I'm considering going on a wee holiday here to top up my tan, but I am pondering whether it's worth spending 10-15 grand to freeze my nads off on desolate moorland when I can accomplish the exact the same thing for 2 quid on the local bus.
I think it might well be worth it.
This is the main hub for internal flights on the Falklands with the occasional international visitor.
FIGAS, the Falkland Islands Government Air Service, runs BN2 Islanders out of here to the weirdly huge number of airstrips that litter the islands. You ring them up and book the day before and then they work out the schedule.
British Antarctic Survey Twin Otters seem to drop in fairly regularly and quite a bit of helicopter traffic. Of course the big stuff goes to Mount Pleasant and there's an excellent version here if you haven't seen it - https://flightsim.to/file/60881/egyp-raf-mount-pleasant
All of the ground textures have been sent away with a flea in their ear and replaced. All of the buildings too.
There are two parking spaces on the main apron and a helipad. There is a larger parking space slightly off the apron which is where visitors seem to park, plus a fuel space and two startable hangars. There's also a fuel truck as there won't be many other places to top up.

There's correct ish runway lighting and PAPI lights plus a couple of moving boats and a few other enticing details.
The real place is definitely not as flat as this, but there ain't no elevation data that's good enough to draw on.
At some point soonish I'll give all of the local airstrips a seeing to as they're pretty blank, but for now you can come back here for some culture.
See you there.
But why can't I buy you a drink for all your hard work?

Supper job on the scenery well done Superspud. Like you I'd love to have a visit there so you need to pick your timing. From memory UK winter is Falkland Isles summer (If you can call it that!) For now I'll stick to the rain and cold in Wales
