• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I whipped this up yesterday afternoon :cool: The new FSX terrain SDK allows so many more options than the old FS9 one, it's not so hard to create immersive scenery now. I'm thinking of adding a small (fictitious) airstrip on the island as an option, and making some animals to roam around the place too. And I dig the new FSX Caravan :) Thanks for looking!

Haha thanks. If you want to make your own stuff, just use the FSX SDK, it's much better than the old one!
Cheers,

I got the source imagery from the Hawaii Coastal Geology Group website http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/coasts/data/index.html. They have shoreline photos for all the Hawaiian islands at varying qualities. Niihau is the only island with complete coverage due to its small, narrow geography. I made some more scenery for Kauai for FS9 a while back, but decided not to finish it because the imagery only extended a few miles inland and the quality wasn't too good. You can check out some shots of it on my website though if you like. Ben Discoe of VTerrain.org helped me out by editing the colors of the Niihau imagery, making the color quality and seams way better than my FS9 version of the scenery.
