This is V1 of Edwards AFB, a joint colaboration between JKustom and myself, we hope you like it, many hours works have gone into creating this scenery.
There will be more updates to models and textures as time goes on. It has already had new runways, Custom painted taxiway lines throughout. JKustom has spent many hours at the base and also creating the hangars you see here.
Please enjoy exploring the base, i will be adding Edwards Aux North on as well soon
Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) (IATA: EDW, ICAO: KEDW, FAA LID: EDW) is a United States Air Force installation in California. Most of the base sits in Kern County, but its eastern end is in San Bernardino County and a southern arm is in Los Angeles County. The hub of the base is Edwards, California. The base was named after World War II USAAF veteran and test pilot Capt. Glen Edwards in 1950; prior to then the facility was named Muroc Air Force Base.
It is the home of the Air Force Test Center, Air Force Test Pilot School, and NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center. It is the Air Force Materiel Command center for conducting and supporting research and development of flight, as well as testing and evaluating aerospace systems from concept to combat. It also hosts many test activities conducted by America's commercial aerospace industry.
Notable occurrences at Edwards include Chuck Yeager's flight that broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1, test flights of the North American X-15, the first landings of the Space Shuttle, and the 1986 around-the-world flight of the Rutan Voyager.

Nice Scenery, cool for my Test Pilot School. Only one suggestion I have. The Airport Beacon is covert by 2 large Hangar. Increasing the Airport Beacon height would be cool.

Looks good. However, I had to shorten dramatically my own paths in order to get rid of a related error message while unzipping. You have used incredible long names for some textures.

Great to see someone finally got to Edwards. The only issue I have is flickering main hangar walls on the building just north of the tower. (The one next to the red pavilion hangar). Would love to see a 1950's version that could be selectable with 50's aircraft and maybe an X-15, B-29, B-36 on the aprion. But as it is now, it's lightyears better than the default.

The hangar textures are being worked on in a future update

I have a couple issues including pink sr71 gear and a missing corsair texture, both in front of the nasa building. Aside from that, the scenery is amazing and im glad somebody finally did it! Also I was wondering if you might one day add some of the old aircraft located on the south area. Some nasa f18s in the north area of the main base or some of the other aircraft on display or the test museum. Just curious. Thanks and have a good one!

Absolutely beyond stellar of a job on the base !!! I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the airshow they had last year and I believe it was the first one they held in years. I don't want to be a stick in the mud but, if memory serves correct, I believe Edwards has concrete runways and it appears that you have asphalt runways. I could be wrong but i thought I might bring it to your attention. I noticed the same runways with China Lake as well.
