WU that included Hawaii

[fakeflyer737 992]

So I'm preping to take the 738 from California to Hawaii (probably Maui), I have two questions.

Wasn't there a World Update that modified Hawaii (wasn't called WU Hawaii though), do you know which one it was so I can get it? 

Second, does anyone have a good scenery for Maui that is compatible with the current WU version of Hawaii. 

Thanks!

It was WU 13. The Oceania one.

Do you know if they're up-to-date in terms of layouts?

Most of these airports haven't had any major layout changes in years. Honolulu actually has had the most recent development in the real world, and inibuilds PHNL is the most recently released product, so unless you only use scenery that was released or updated within the past few months, I think any changes, should they even exist, would be extremely minor.

Nice! So you're saying the Ini PHNL is pretty close? I was thinking of buying it too.

It's the best option you're going to get by far for now, and for the foreseeable future. Even has the major Terminal 1 concourse opened in 2021. 

I encourage you to try the smaller airports too in something other than a jetliner. Northern Sky Studio does remarkable work. 

Note: Hilo is by a random dev and hasn't been updated, but it's nice. Just have to watch the scenery priority order so it's not ahead of Navigraph. See the reviews/comments here: https://secure.simmarket.com/pearl-simulations-2-phto-hilo-international-airport-msfs.phtml

You might find this local gov pilots guide to the islands helpful if you don't have it already. Apologies if too late for your flights!

Northern Sky has some very decent Alaska and Hawaii airports. There’s also a Hawaii mesh on SimMarket - might be redundant after the WU.

EDIT: just saw the list that was posted above.

Indeed I snagged them all this week! Milk run last few days in heavy mist/poor visibility (great fun using VOR). Sunny Aloha tonight 😄

Don't want to create new topic, but which WU has Alaska fully included?

Alaska hasn't been covered by any World Updates, if I recall correctly.

One of the special editions did add some extra handcrafted airport (like PAVD - Valdez) but I think that's it?
