RAF Menwith Hill is a Royal Air Force station near Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, which provides communications and intelligence support services to the United Kingdom and the United States. The site contains an extensive satellite ground station and is a communications intercept and missile warning site. It has been described as the largest electronic monitoring station in the world.
Menwith Hill is also a VFR reporting point and is located 10nm North of Leeds/Bradford Airport (EGNM). It is easily recognisable for it's distinctive white radomes, locally referred to as "The Golf Balls".
As this is a highly secretive base I have kept the scenery details basic, with excpetion of the white radomes. All other buildings are default in-sim objects which I have hand placed into position. I have also added perimeter fencing and a POI marker - search for 'menwith'
The LOD draw distance has been increased so "the golf balls" will be in sight for at least 10nm.
Compatability: This replaces the default scenery, but may clash with other VFR add-on's if you have them installed.
Installation: Simply extract the file 'jeppeson2001-menwith-hill' to your Community Folder.

Thank you very much for your work.
Can you tell me if your scenery is compatible with EU Great Britain Central by ORBX ?
I will install your scene as soon as possible.

Orbx Central has an RAF Menwith Hill, all be it not great by all accounts. So I would imagine you would have a visual conflict here. Orbx have been asked can you delete individual POIs in their GB Central and the answer was no.
Apparently these "golf balls" appear if you have the "love VFR" mod too.
Pity because this does look good.
