This should indeed be a nice scenery update when it gets released. I am looking forward to it 🙂

I can see myself flying in with an airliner, then touring via Heli. or Baron/C-414r just to view the scenary.

Really looking forward to this.

One of the real keys to this area wil be water masking to uncover all the atolls and fringing reefs, etc. That's probably the main unique feature of this region, so hopefully they spend a bit of time uncovering them - they didn't seem to feature at all in the video.

This is great news. Thanks for the post.

"In terms of area this will be one of the largest updates flightsim ever had". I seem to recall Jorg on the last Q&A saying Oceana (not counting the ocean or the polar region) will be the smallest update in terms of area by far.

yeah by land area. though by what's added, I think this update has the most POIs though?

I really do hope that the newest Bing data has no clouds in the PNG area. The scenery suffers a lot from cloud patches.

Will be interesting see what photogrammetry appears. Theres virtually none (maybe actually none) in this area already and Jorg was talking about weather issues in Hawaii slowing photogrammetry flights down. 
 

Hopefully there’s a lot in Hawaii,  especially the big population centres like Honolulu.

Yes, I think you're right, and airports, and probably photorealistic cities. Japan was 1st and (I hate to say) only got a very small facelift.
