Continuing my Flight-inspired 'What if there were only Hawaii in FSX' project... possibly a bad idea as people will be thoroughly sick of Hawaii soon but whatever, eh?... by exploring much of Maui in the default Cub.

I used freeware mesh for the whole island chain from Simv along with a great Maui package by someone who (I think I read in the read me) is a local... he's made it look great in my opinion: here's the package: http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=FSX+maui&x=0&y=0

Doing a circuit at Kahului

...



Turning to final

...



It was rather windy and the Cub needed about 5 metres to stop. The groundloop helped.

We needed another 5 metres to get airborne again  Grin

...



Heading over Kahului before turning back east.

Nice scenery round here

...


Hana air...port ?? Looks small and sea awaits the incompetent or unfortunate. No problem...my plane can stop in 5 metres.

...


Another groundloop behind me, we head back to Kahului

...

Cheers!

Nice!  You got some good angles and lighting on there!

And amazingly, I caught it about the exact second you posted. Cheesy

Will have to grab those sceneries... strange how I like the looks of THEM so much more than Flight's Hawaii... brings back so many memories, of when I first got FSX and after completing the one hawaii sightseeing mission spent a lot of time tooling around maui, havent flown there in ages! Great work, keep it up!
