freeware hawaiian airports #3 available

**johannesl** · February 16th, 2015, 08:31

I downloaded all 3 zip files and installed Airports 3, as it has a couple of airports I was really interested in (Princeville and Port Allen). My question is, in the instructions it mentions that there are scenerys, and I suppose textures, in the Airports 1 that are used in Airports 3, but I already have the freeware Orbx airports installed, and they are very nice too, and cover several of the airports in these files. I would like to install the scenery enhancements from Airports 1 and maybe 2 to improve even the Orbx airports without overwriting the entire airport file. Is there any reasonable way to pick the parts I would want and not the parts I don't need?

Not sure if it's possible to mix and match, but all three of these airport packs include airport renditions that are as accurate as they can be, and they don't use default objects. I strongly suspect based on past experience with the generic Orbx airports that Mr. Keogh's are to a significantly higher quality standard, as the three airport packs are specifically crafted for these specific airports. I would encourage you to at least temporarily disable the OrbX airports for the region, and install these packs to try out Mr. Keogh's renditions.

I had to delete the ORBX Airports, there was many problems with the freeware Airports, Double Buildings, ugly Runways, etc...

Guess I'll have to try them starting with Waimea, as it is in both files.

Does anybody know if the FSDreamteam Lihue airport have the Marriott on Kalapaki beach in it? I fly over that area and with all the other scenery added I see boats and cruise ships and other things but nothing but a flat photo image where the hotel is and it looks kind of empty.

Hi,

I haven't been able to get any responses here or at Flightsim regarding missing files in the Hawaiian scenery downloads. Here's a screenshot which I suspect is due to the missing "PHMK_Apron_2.dds".

Is anyone else missing the file in the download? Actually, the file is present, I'm just unable to extract it.

Hi Jim,
I've been flying around Mr. Keogh's Hawaii a lot and haven't seen anything like that. My PHMK Molokai is fine. It may be the way you installed it.
I already had the 1st pack installed, so, when #2 was released, I copied the scenery and texture folders to #1 and allowed replace/overwrite.
When George released #3, I did the same. The #3 readme stated that there were updates for #2. "Hawaiian Airports PART 2 - UPDATE" folder...Don

I created three separate scenery folders, named Hawaiian Airports 1, 2 and 3. Then I copied the updated files to the appropriate scenery folder and installed all three in FSXA.

I like this vintage scenery from CalClassics

I sent the author an email but I have no answer yet. Does anyone have the shadow as shown in the screenies? The shadows follow the aircraft and move with the time of day. I'm getting this at all these airports. I have installed them to folders Add on scenery\ Hawaiian Airports Part 1, 2 , 3. The scenery's are very smooth and very professionally done. Does anyone have a "cure". I have checked the elevation of several airports and they are correct.
Thanks

Hi fxs and gray,
Sounds like we all have a similar folder structure; and our installation sequence was probably the same also. I re-downloaded the first file in the series and was able to extract the problem files. PHMK now looks fine. I now know the problem is not with the files on the site.
I have all of my downloads as well as a bunch of information on an external hard drive and rather than blame the problem on a faulty file transfer I think I'll back up the files to blu-ray discs. Maybe the drive is going bad.
Thanks for your help.

finally got to Hawaii and have these 3 packs installed and OMG, just amazing enhancements for the islands a must have for any FSX simmer. I just loaded into PAK after landing at the default and its night and day, loaded up and a microlight was next to me taxing to take off, a helicopter was starting up, a marshal was hanging around, just WOW!

cheers,
Lewis
