Hi folks,
please do not forget to test also the other Islands and look out for bugs. Apparently the oahu island is working well. By the way: All airfields were made representing the status of Dec 1941. To see more screenshots please visit: viewtopic.php?t=16096
The map represents the hawaiian island chain from big island in the east to Nihue in the west. The islands are all fully populated. Therefore it takes some time to load it in the FMB. I populated also the smaller islands because I feel that it is an immersion killer first to fly over populated areas like oahu and then to enter the airspace over kauai or nihue and everything you see is underpopulated areas full of sand and trees and grass, although there should be some villages and even cities. So it pays out to take a fast plane and fly for example from the still civillian airfield John Rodgers (Honolulu airfield) to Hilo Airport on Big Island. I hid lots of easter eggs spread over the islands, so there is lots to see:
1) fortifications (also old ones), most of them over Oahu of course (historical correct)
2) light towers (historical correct)
3) ruins of churches from missionary times (historical correct)
4) some reminiscence villages of the natives (historical correct)
5) old palast buildings from the former king of hawaii (almost historical correct)
6) china gardens
7) radar stations
8) touristic areas (big hotel complexes)
9) all airfields are almost historical correct
10) populated beaches (look for them)
11) the old historical swimming pool were Johnny Weissm
