I got it a few days ago. Would be nice to have some better coverage in some areas. I love the 3d aspect of it. while the buildings aren't 3D themselves the layout of it is amazing.

It is. I've been mucking around with it for the past week.
Lotsa cool stuff. I can even see my car in front of my house. And the giant moose.
Go check out Edwards AFB, and when you're done, go southwest to Lockheed's Skunk Works and check out the collection.

Has anyone tried checking out the Groom lake area?
Interesting that you mention that. I had the same question when I was on an A330 from Amsterdam. If you didn't know, the A330 has a console in the headrest ahead of you that you can look up maps and play games. I zoomed in on the "un-location" of groom lake and found a very suspicious runway that was unmarked.......

If you found groom lake ! from the southend of the base draw an imaginary line to the west.. and you will hit the Nevada Test Site.. just one or two mountains further.
It looks like a piece of swiss cheese =). And.. unlike the Groom Lake Area it
