Not sure if this is of any interest for the majority, but when my main sims were FSX and P3D, I also used AirHauler 2.  So, the area I flew with AH2 was the entire Caribbean and a few outliers. If anyone is interested, I have compiled a list of all of the airports for the area.  I just started looking over the same airports in MSFS2020 and they look pretty good out of the box.  Hopefully, there will be less need to buy sceneries as most all of the airports listed in the file I had payware sceneries for.  There were only a few exceptions where there were freeware sceneries available.  Anyway, I have linked the list of these airports if anyone is interested HERE.  I haven't purchased AH2 for MSFS2020 yet, but that's just around the corner.  If you like flying the BB BN-2 Islander, it's great for island hopping.  I eagerly await the Aerosoft Twotter to come out as well.  Sorry, I don't have a map to attach, but those are easily found with a little searching the Internet.

Best Regards,

Robert

 

I have found a couple of payware Grenadines Island Airport packs Vol 1 & Vol 2 by Aerosoft -DSKY on SimMarket...ughhhhh...I can see it now, my pocketbook will lose some weight.  These two packs seem reasonably priced, but again these are very small islands, but I think all the landmarks are there.  It will be a start to my Caribbean scenery library I suppose.

A quick note to your posted list.  TIST - Saint Thomas is US Virgin Island not British.

I enjoy the FSX Grumman Goose “Grumman Goose G21A Redux II” for Microsoft Flight Simulator/ 

The price is definitely right.  I love this cockpit in VR.   https://flightsim.to/file/19718/grumman-goose-g21a-redux-ii

I'll be chasing down Henrik's ships in it tonight,  as soon as the ships finish downloading.

The Goose is ALMOST Cooked

I am very proud to welcome you to the first release from Wookiee’s Hanger: “Grumman Goose G21A Redux II” for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This aircraft was started before we created Big Radials, it remains and always will be a freeware product. We are however looking at doing a ground up new version at some future point (possibly 2022).

This is a faithful and loving restoration and upgrade of the “OzX Grumman G21A Goose HD Redux” which itself was a loving restoration and upgrade of the default Goose for FSX.

This release is almost complete and a lot of work has gone into this from completly new 3D instruments, updated flight model, native model conversion and fixes to animations. Whilst the full radio stack is mostly working, the DME is currently INOP.

On the 10th of October 2020 I messaged Pam “Warchild” Booker with a screenshot of the OzX Goose sitting in Microsoft Flight Simulator with the following:
😄 Next private conversion. Wanna play?

I had originally contacted Pam to help me with converting the IRIS P-40E Twin freeware to MSFS (we will release at some point) and little did I know that we would team up and work on several different aircraft (all as yet unreleased) and that this flippant little comment would spark a project that would take 2 months to get to this initial release with a fair bit of development still a head of us. The original OzX release was over 5 months in development and we may come close to that as well.

I’ve always loved Radial engine aircraft, especially anything amphibious. At one point I had saught and received permission to convert the incredible LDR Grumman Mallard for FSX over to the X-Plane platform, as that was my preferred simulator. I flew many many hours in that Mallard and got some ways through my XP conversion before I got involved in other projects like the MD500D Rebuild for XP11. During this time I knew about the Goose but never really gave it a chance, until I found the OzX Goose Redux and was really blown away with what that team was able to achieve. I am certain that this Goose would not look anywhere near as good as it does right now without the incredible work of that team (extracted from the original documentation):

Pam “Warchilld” Brooker: Flight model
Steven “Gizmo” Hingley: Normall & Spec mapping, 3 Main paint schemes, VC Re-texturing/Night lighting, Wake Effects/Particle textures, Master paint kit layout
Butch ‘Butch’’ Menchaca:: Two screws and a washer! Hehehehe… Ok seriouslly, Spec mapping, 3 main paint schemes, VC Re-texturing, Master paint kit detaills and two screws and a washer!! Hehehe…

As the saying goes:

```
We stand on the shoulders of giants
```

Thank you Pam, Steven and Butch for making a true classic for the Flight Sim community, I hope we do you proud with our update to your… update.  

A mostly complete change list is provided below and you can see the current development list here: Trello

We would greatly appreciate bug reports and suggestions for improvement going forward. If you wouldn’t mind using the BUG REPORT template below when you post a bug report it will greatly assist the team in tracking down your particular issue.

Thank you for flying our plane. We’re really excited to hear back from and can’t wait to hear about your flights and see some fantastic shots of this water bird in her true natural environment.

You can also use the Scenery Map at FS.To to see what's available by looking at the map. https://flightsim.to/scenery-map

Thank you for this information!!!  This is just great.

I downloaded the Bahamas mega pack, but the project life - I'm a little concerned with the number of required libraries and then keeping those current, but the work is just absolutely great!

Yeah,  the libraries can be a pita.   Which is why I download them from FS.to,   and follow them so I receive a notice when they are updated.   Which seems to be rarely.

And using AddonsLinker is highly recommended. Much easier to activate and deactivate sceneries, and getting a more complete picture of what addons you're using.
