Marshall Islands - Available now!

[wantok]

Want a flying vacation within the Pacific islands region but can't afford it in RW. Well, you can now. Marshall Islands has 8 airports ready for sun n' fun flying this week for those who care to explore the atolls and islands.

Arrive on a Boeing 747, Airbus A340 or regional commuter and land on a very thin sliver of land call Majuro Atolls. Marshall Islands International is one of aviation's fascinating airport wonders. Its 8,000ft runway straddles just over 500ft wide lime-coral piece of land that divides north-south rough seas of the vast Pacific ocean. Not only is the runway width slim, but arrive 10 hours from anywhere and you'd find yourself challenged by constant cross-wind and unpredictable monsoon-type weather.

Looks wonderful!:applause:

[CP1207]

Ooh. Perfect timing, just got the credit card paid off. I'll restart the never ending cycle by purchasing this.:jump:

[Gdavis101]

Woo Hoo!! :applause: :salute:

[TuFun]

That looks really good! http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/images/icons/icon14.png

[PRB]

Oh goody goody. I have both the PNG and Tuvalu scenery, and they are great. Been looking forward to this one.

[HighGround22]

.
Yeah, likewise on both counts. And on a related vein, this'll make doing an "Amelia Earhart" run a lot more interesting, as well.

Great job as always, still like to fly your VFR Appalachia and this is looking just beautiful. Boy if they had a small tsunami come across here it would take out everything.

[jdhaenens]

LOL...I've actually been to Majuro. The atol lagoon only mind you. I was driving a Navy ship at the time. We didn't get liberty as our ship on liberty would have been a significant percentage of the local population...not a good idea.

Great looking scenery.

[spotlope]

That looks absolutely outstanding! Well done.

[wantok]

Thanks indeed all for the support and kind compliments.:wavey:
@Jim; check your PM, pls.

[Timbohobo]

Really nice Graham, great to see the Marshalls getting some TLC

[Mithrin]

Neat!

[Crusader]

Thanks Graham . It certainly looks like it is built with VFR Appalachia's high standards which will make it an outstanding addition . Really looking forward to it .

Thanks Tim, Mithrin and Rich.:salute:

Graham - Great looking scenery. For exploring outlying atolls, ship wrecks and float plane operations Marshall Islands can't be beat! Thanks. (Any chance of doing VFR Appalachia Part Deux? The more the merrier!)

[dharris]

Oh My!!! Did someone say VFR Appalachia Part Deux? Yes, and more of it!

[hae5904]

Awesome Graham!! :jump:......getting jumpy! :icon_lol:

Cheers,

Lol.., still on the list and will get back east once I complete 2 to 3 rounds :mixedsmi: in the Pacific. Hang in there, Jay.

[Sundog]

I always loved flying into this airport and island hopping across the Pacific in FS9. I believe those airports for fs9 were by the brothers of DBWsim? I'll definitely have to get this for FSX. :)

[jeansy]

love them, they look beautiful

[dharris]

The Marshall Islands are really unique, and these are very well modeled. I especially like all the sailboats and the coral runways. Nice place to get away for awhile. Thanks Graham, and just to let you know your VFR Appalachia is still my favorite, especially with Meshman's 5M mesh, outstanding.

[wantok]

WOW. Too bad I found out last week I had to take a 30% pay cut at work. :173go1:

Alexey, from the Russian site simrussia was certainly quick on the draw with pictorial review of Marshall Islands.

<!-- m -->http://simrussia.com/ourforum/index.php?topic=319.0<!-- m -->

Although it's in Russian, you can auto-translate into English using google toolbar if you're using IE browser. Don't know about you guys but the guy's graphic card rocks. The ocean is clearly rendered in HD with ripple effects. I guess REX has to do with it also. Wish I could afford his system...:kilroy:

Enjoy the review.
