Lets Fly To: The Hawaiian Islands
Discovery Flight: Lana'i and Moloka'i
Good Morning. Let's go explore two of Hawaii's less visited islands of enchantment. Lana'i and Moloka'i.
First we'll travel to the least inhabited island travelers may visit in Hawaii. The Pineapple Isle. Lana'i. This is a small island but it offers big enticements to its visitors. Only nine miles from Maui yet it seems a world away. That's because Lana'i can feel like two places. The first is found around the modern and luxurious resort area where visitors can indulge in world-class amenities. Soak up the sun on pristine beaches and even play championship-level golf. While the other place can be found bouncing along the island’s rugged back roads in 4-wheel-drive vehicles or riding on horseback to explore off-the-beaten-path treasures.
After we visit Lana'i we'll head for the Friendly Isle. Moloka'i. The fifth largest of the hawaiian islands. Moloka'i is only 38 miles long and 10 miles across at its widest point. It is home to the highest sea cliffs in the world and the longest continuous fringing reef. Moloka'i remains true to its island roots. With a high percentage of its population being of Native Hawaiian ancestry. They continue to preserve their rural lifestyle thanks to their love of the land. Whether you’re led by a guide along the cliffs leading to Kalaupapa National Historical Park or discovering Papohaku Beach. Which is one of Hawaii’s largest white-sand beaches in the islands. Moloka'i is truly an island of outdoor adventure where Hawaii’s past comes alive!
It's time to discover Lana'i and Moloka'i.

IMPORTANT !!!!! Payware Scenery Notes: There are two versions of Kalaupapa Airport that are available for purchase to use in MSFS. The first is part of the combined with Molokai package linked above by Northern Sky Studio. And there is also an individual Kalaupapa airport scenery available for purchase developed by South Oak Co. Please note that these packages are separate creations from two different companies. If both are purchased and installed, you'll see two lighthouses, two windsocks as well as duplicate buildings and other scenery object anomalies such as bushes infringing on the side of the runway, etc. Please choose only one of these scenery packages to use to avoid these conflicts.
This flight uses the default Cessna 172 Skyhawk with G1000 Glass Cockpit. You will have GPS autopilot capabilities, weather choices, refueling, VFR map, ATC and other assists to use if you wish. The GPS flightplan is already loaded inside the computer so all you have to do is start up and begin your flight. You will need to shut off your engine and set your parking brake once you land and park the aircraft at any stopping points along the way. See the readme.txt file for more information before departure.
The "Let's Fly To" series of trips are custom flight adventures created by Brad Allen for use in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Extensive time is spent building the flight plan and then doing research for interesting information to help tell a story that can give the user an appreciation for the places visited along the way. This helps create a unique experience not found in other bush trips that are available. At least not up to my standards.

I downloaded the first version here. Loaded it into MSFS and it was visible and able to be started in the Bush Trips area of the User Interface of MSFS. I was able to then select the bush trip and it started for me from the beginning.
But I went ahead and repacked the archive and repeated the process to see if it also shows up in the sim and starts up. It did so I am confident it will for you as well.
Remember to only put the folder that includes the actual Content Info, Mission, .json files, etc. into your community folder.
Do NOT just unzip and load that first folder that unzips in the archive into your community folder. That is what keeps the file from being visible.
After you unzip the downloaded file. Click on the folders until you get to the lower folder named: Maui-Lanai-Molokai
You should only move the folder that is inside the unzipped archive named: Maui-Lanai-Molokai into your community folder.
Double check Inside that folder and make sure you find the content folders named: ContentInfo and Missions.
There are also nine lokpak files and two .json files.
If you do see the above content then you should be good to go once that main folder named Maui-Lanai-Molokai and the included content is inside your community folder.
If not, please let me know.
Thanks for your interest and I hope you enjoy the trip,
Brad

Make sure you only put the folder that has the actual content inside it in the community folder.
Sometimes I’ve found that there will be a couple of parent folders that sometimes get created by zip and winrar. They will have the content folder buried a couple of folders down.
So open the archive and then only move the single folder that has the actual content inside it. Like Layout.json, etc. and copy that base folder into the community folder.
There also is a great app here in flightsim.to that makes the active mod process very easy to control.
