mikewies Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 This week's announcement from JV about the ORBX Hawaii project being shut down was a disappointment. Maybe some day it will happen. However in the last year, Hawaii has been significantly upgraded with OpenLC NA. And many of the smaller regional Hawaiian airports are part of the FTX Global NA Freeware pack. Overall, we are currently much better than the default FSX Hawaii. Fly around the islands, you'll see. A good example is Kona International Airport at Keahole [PHKO]. Significant details and animations are found at the gate and on the ramp. . RL photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Colbert Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Great shots, Mike! I will have to spend some time in the Islands - NA LC and the freeware packs do a pretty good job on Hawaii. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii still is a great place to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someday they'll be able to license it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 That is a shame but it is still a great place to fly even in its present form. Beautiful shots and some interesting liveries the planes are wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out that Ohana is a small regional inter-island division of Hawaiian Airlines. They have 3 of the ATR-42 models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maunakea Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Such a shame to hear the bad news about FTX Hawaii getting scrapped. I was so looking forward to this. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
