No, I'm not an employee of PC Aviator. But they are having some good sales, and when I see one that's of interest here I mention it.

It's a good deal. I highly recommend this particular photoscenery. In fact Oahu has become my main point of operation and I typically fly out of Dillingham. With REX plugged in, the combination of clouds, water and the high resolution scenery is a great mix. At 5 bucks, I don't think you can go wrong.

YMMV but I've never had a problem.* It helps that Oahu's an island: i.e., the sim does NOT have to render unique textures in all directions as far as the eye can see.

Thanks for the heads up Vratan, missed these and I also base out of Dillingham, a great scenery in itself.

However, some airport land mesh in the scenery do not match elevation of the default airport bgl file (i.e. when you land the plane "sinks" into the ground.

There are six airports on O'ahu, if you count Ford Island - NPS. Only one I'm aware of that has had an elevation change is Dillingham - PHDH with Bill Womack's scenery. Where else are you seeing this?

I tried the three files that Vratan mentioned and had much worse resolution than I had with just Megascenery, so deleted them. But I have not had any problem with planes sinking into the ground at all. The Dillingham scenery does sit a little high, but the planes sit on them fine. Great scenery. Bought the vegas scenery at the same time and I am disappointed in that one.

It was PHDH (Dillingham). I'll try Manny Mahadevan's scenery in the link from AVSIM posted previously.
