Paradise Lost...erm...Missing. (Read 1613 times)

If I can provide plenty of photos and info, can someone with the appropriate skills create:

Kapalua - West Maui Airport (JHM/PHJH) in Hawaii, preferably for 2004, but FSX is ok too?

Sample info:
http://www.airnav.com/airport/PHJH

It's a really small airfield that I have been around recently, and would make for an absolutely amazing island hopping destination in the Hawaiian islands. Great views of the Maui coast, along with the islands of Lanai and Molokai on arrival or departure. Really small quiet field with only the occasional Island Air Dash-8 coming and going. Not even a permanent GA presence there other than some passing through for an hour or so. A quiet island-style destination with no jets or choppers allowed either!

Thanks for any interest!

-Sean

No, I can't really help you much here.

Ok.....

Hoping for helpers with this. I can provide pretty much as much info as anyone would possibly need for this little field.

Hi Jordan!

Here are some websites to get you started. I'm not going to be available for questions for the next 1.5 days possibly (long airline flight ahead) so I'll try to give you a couple links right now.

Oh, and on the below website, even though the pics were taken in the '90s, the place looks exactly the same!

Note that there are multiple pages of pictures. ^^  Wink

Thanks a bunch! Let me know how things go!

Thanks for that, Jordan!

Those two links are probably all that is necessary for such a small field, but let me know if you need anything else.

I can't get the runway to export right. Sad  But other than that, the photo real ground came out ok.  The terminal is taking some time though. Wink

I did a tech help to FS developer. Wink

This a heck of a way to brag about taking a trip to Hawaii Sean.  Grin

Hope Jordan can work it out, I'd like to have that one myself.  Smiley

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Best of luck with it Jordan.

What surprised me while being there is that this airport is quieter than the Hana Airport. When I was there , with the exception of one Island Air Dash-8 (our flight) and a FedEx Cessna Caravan, the place was deserted. No aircraft on the ramp or anything.  Hana had helicopters, paragliders, and a Pacific Wings Caravan going in and out constantly.

Just restarted the texturing  (not much lost...)  I will be doing HD textures instead of doing layers.  Saves me a hassle... Wink

Quick Question:  what do the gate markings look like? Smiley

Jordan,

Well.....the airport isn't even equipped with mobile airstairs, so the only "gate" markings I guess would be the numbers on the ends of the taxiway lines. There are no numerical markings on the building itself.

EDIT:
PERFECT RESOURCE!!!
Go into MSN/Bing maps.
Zoom in on the airport.
Access "Bird's Eye View"
Zoom in all the way.
Voila. Clear "gate" numbers and all runway/taxiway markings!!!

Well I'm doing the terminal right now, but for the life of me I can't figure out how the bloody hell it's put together. Undecided

Shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions. You already have the best source images right now, so I'm not sure what precisely you are looking for.  Wink

If i had an overhead of the terminal, that would be great.  As of now I'm just looking at the front and back. Wink

MSN/Bing Maps "Bird's Eye View" is pretty good....

I think that's the closest you're going to get to a good resolution overhead.
