Also the wrong tipe of trees were used, and the area is sunken below the ramp with bridges going over it. This area will not be filled in for obvious reasons.

I just came back from there for the annual ZLA dinner we VATSIM guys put on. Comparing the shots to what is going on there, this is SPOT ON. The only thing missing is Los Angeles Air Force Base![1][2]  :P

BL.

[1] Yes, there is really a Los Angeles AFB.
[2] Don't add it. 1: you don't need it; 2: you don't want it.

If the AFB shares runways with LAX, like the one at HNL, it should be included.

There is no AFB at LAX. You will see military aircraft there which is VERY rare, but when you do, it's usually C-5's and C-17's. They park at the remore area.

The only military aircraft you will see there every day on the hour are the Coastguard dolfins...

The military base is around a mile away from LAX and is basically a large office complex that controls the USAF's Space Defense (satellites), etc

There is no AFB in LAX.
There is a USAF office or building complex in El Segundo. No runway...no tower.
The nearest Air Base in LAX is the US Navy missile test center in Point Mugu.

Okay, to set things straight: at LAX Airport, there is no Air Force Base.  There IS an Air Force Base just south of the LAX Airport in El Segundo.  Just because there isn't a runway or a tower, doesn't mean it cannot be an Air Force Base.  Yes, it is essentially just a building or two but it IS an Air Force Base.

LAX does not have an Air Force base.

Correct, but apparently there is one just south of it.

Hello,

I used to work at the Air Force Base. It's called the Los Angeles Air Force Base not LAX Air Force Base. It is a Research and Development facility and it resembles more of a University/Corporate campus than it does an Air Force Base. I think the place has as more civilian researchers and contractors working there than it does military personnel and the only aircraft you'll see there are the helicopters that fly in the VIPs. But if you want to put it in your scenery that would be great but be careful when you take pictures, I've seen security/snipers at the roof tops.   ;D
