If you had been there.

[FalaGringo]

I would like to if these two sentences mean the same thing to you guys as they do to me?

"If you had been there, you would have heard the good news."
"If you were there, you would have heard the good news."

Yes, in the same context, they would both be understood to mean the same thing.

They can also mean different things:

"If you had been there, you would have heard the good news." - You were not there. This is a counterfactual hypothetical statement

"If you were there, you would have heard the good news." It is possible that you were there. The speaker is expressing certainty that, if you were there, you heard the good news.
