The Big Island

V2disp3lda · August 5, 2021, 2:49am

Hello,

A tour of the Big Island (officially called Hawaii), from Upolu Airfield (ICAO: PHUP) to Hilo International Airport (ICAO: PHTO), passing by Kohala and its deep gorges (not to be confused with movies) and Mauna Kea which is a dormant shield volcano, nearly a million years old.

We all arrive at the same time

It must be nice to live on this island

The big blue, blue as the sky.

And the tour ends with a Smooth Touchdown, I really liked this ride and I will do a tour on the Big Island again.

I will add pictures in the next ones because I like this area very much

See you soon

They really need to manually update and tweak Hawaii

These shots aren’t really exuding the correct “look”

Visited Hawaii from the UK in 2018, it was one of the 1st places I went in MSFS and although the representation is a vast improvement on anything we have had previously, it still lacked. I hope that the team look at the pacific islands in general for a world update as there are some lovely places to fly around

great pics OP, took me back to 2018

Hello,

I have never been there and I can’t compare with reality but I find it pretty for a video game and when I look at the island with bing map and I zoom in, I find it faithful to the satellite picture

These are beautiful destinations and I can imagine a dedicated world update or addons (the Pacific islands, the Caribbean, French Polynesia, etc…) for these regions of the world with as you say more attention from microsoft to offer us an even more immersive experience.

Hello,

I continue my discovery of the Hawaiian Islands, with a departure from Molokai Airport (ICAO: PHMK) and I chose a very poor weather (yes I know it is not recommended with the Cessna, Living dangerously it is fun with FS2020).

Is it a good idea to fly or not … that is the question

The sky with this weather is beautiful

As my Gallic ancestors would say, The sky is falling on us

The lanai island behind me with a beautiful light through the clouds

See you soon

I just came to post some screenshot of Oahu and saw your post. It’s a beautiful island.

Hello BijanStudio,

Yes, that’s right, and there’s plenty to discover in the Hawaiian Islands

You are from bijanstudio, does the four season pack modify the vegetation by default according to the regions of the world like in Hawaii for example ?

I just made my first flight at fl120 with my Cessna, I was not sure to be able to do it but I managed to do it and we have a nice view at this altitude.
