Northern Sky Studio, PHHN Hana runway 08 approach

Update: issue is known and planned to be fixed asap.

There seems to be an invisible tree/barrier when landing runway 08.
You’ll see two tall trees that you can navigate between. Just after that, when the vegetation drops off,
you’ll get a collision detected crash when you are clear of the trees.
I suspect the flora hgt is set wrong at this spot.

Default airport does not have this issue and is cleared nicely for approach. But boring…
South Oak PHHN is also ok, but does have one tall tree to avoid if your a little low.
(It’s probably off their property too)

Still a great airport! Minor issue, don’t let it stop your purchase.
Just come in a little high or side slip it in and land a little long. Lots of room left.
I have most of Northern Sky Studio airports.

Nice work Northern Sky. Worth a 5 star.
I have sent email to Northern Sky Studios.
(disregard my altimeter, didn’t bother to set for these test runs)



Questions:

  1. Does that happen when the airport is uninstalled?
  2. If yes, has this all been happening recently, or has it been that way all along?

Uninstall to default = no issues.

They know of the issue and fix planned, along with fixes to other Hawaiian airports.
Oleg from Northern Sky got back to me very quickly(nice!)
Post WU XIII, requires some fixes.

Oh okay, perfect! Thanks!

Any word on this fix?

Just today I was on RNAV for runway 8. Cleared the 2 high trees…then bam. YOU DIED.
I love this airport and love this scenery but this invisible wall is really taking some fun out of this.
