Coming Soon: Hawaiian Islands Tour

The tour will be very short, consisting of only 3-4 hops, each visiting various airports throughout the eight main islands of the Hawaiian Island chain.  The hops will be short, each being no more than 45 minutes long.
Start date is to be determined.
The tour will most likely take place on Sundays right before the South America Tour and will be taking the place of my world tour.

Here is an overview of the tour:

VFR Photographic Scenery* is a definite no-no!... ;)... ;D...!

I need real, 3D objects...like Autogen + Add-on!.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Paul....G-BPLF... 8-)...!

* I gave that idea up 8 years ago!...(Justflight VFR Scenery!)... ;)...!

Flight Unlimited II used Photographic Scenery... :'(...!

Just installed some very nice; "On Her Lu-lu" Scenery...;)...!

Mind showing me the "On Her Lu-Lu" link?


And the blueskyscenery is very nice, and you can set other objects over it, as there is no autogen / 3-D that beats the mountains on it ;D
