Could anyone with the appropriate knowledge please make a scenery pack for US Air Force Plant 42, Calif. area?
It would be kinda nice to have it in Orbiter as it is the birth place for many historic aerospace vehicles, including the the Space Shuttle Orbiters.
Here's the coordinates for the area: 34.631380° W 118.092166° N. The buildings left-most of the three complexes north of the runway is where the Orbiter were assembled before being transported overland from Palmdale to Edwards AFB to be mated to the 747-100 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.
However, starting with the delivery of Endeavour, the Orbiter Lifting Frame that was built for use at Vandenberg AFB was relocated to Palmdale to serve there for use when one of the orbiter's went there for the Orbiter Maintance Down Periods(OMDPs).
So Endeavour was the only orbiter that did not make the trip from Palmdale to Edwards AFB as the OLF had been relocated and set-up by the time she was completed.
