| It's back! This update for
Area A (AFC3) is actually a totally new version, and doesn't require the
previous version for FS2000. AFC3v2, includes several new facilities
as well as all of the original features and "easter eggs". Among
many things the two main additions to Version 2 is the all new hangar designs
and the Radar Range. Everything else is basically where it was in
the FS2000 version, only there are more new custom macro's in version 2
as well as several sneek peeks into the future concepts. If you look
around this scenery area you can expect to find 3 of them as well as ALL
of the originals from Era
1.

NEW RCS Range
In the real world, RCS ranges are crucial to stealth technology and the companies that construct stealth aircraft use them as an estimate of how a given "shape" i.e. the airplane, will look when it is viewed on radar. The best way to do this is to build a small scale model of the aircraft and place it on a pylon thousands of feet away and shoot radar at it and record the radar return, referred to as "Radar Cross Section" or RCS. To prevent the growth of various plants, etc. paving the range is a common practice, and RCS ranges often look like airport runways, except for the pylons in the middle of everything! Security is of prime concern at RCS facilities basically because they offer a very unique look into the secret world of stealth technology as stealthy shapes have to be kept from public view as well as recon satellites.
