    Ah ok. It’s weird. I’m running current regular versions (no beta). And the iPad version is “virgin” because I only use it to check things like this, I mean it is not supposed to be compromised by the usage.

  • makes sense considering we've always been told it doesn't exist.

    Did you fly around by there? There's a crashed UFO somewhere. With little Aliens praising for help. As an Easter Egg (on Mobile or Desktop versions).

  • I flew over a UFO wreck there yesterday and I did not see any aliens. I feel cheated!! Maybe they are the same color as the landscape and have natural camouflage.

    You have to land on the UFO wreck with an helicopter for example

  • I haven't seen any aliens in FS4 but have seen them in another sim maybe msfs2020.

    When the developers add detailed scenery for New Mexico maybe they can have a ufo crash with deceased aliens at Roswell.

    New Mexico would be a great area for detail; Very Large Array, Roswell, White Sands Missile range, Trinity site, several air force bases, diverse topography, etc.

  • I have to confess that I didn't go since Aerofly FS 2022 or less. Where there were haggard aliens stepping on the wreck.

    You're talking about Trinity site. I discovered the Aera 51 bug because I wanted to fly over the nuke test site to have a glance at the craters.

    I'll try to see the aliens using a chopper, but I'm completely a numb with those machines.

  • Here it is (Aerofly FS 4). You can see little aliens. And if you are gift-full with choppers you can even land on the wreck

  • I also found that at Aera 51

  • Trinity Site is about 150km south of Albuquerque. It does not have a large visible crater like at the cluster of nuke craters about 25 km WSW of Area 51.

    White Sands missile range has an old Space Shuttle landing strip but the poor resolution of that area makes it hard to find.

    Also a Space Port 90 km SSW of Trinity that was funded by Virgin for the sub orbital launches they were planning to have from there.
