Description
Haleakala was the first observatory installed in Hawaii in 1961, on the Maui Island, in the middle of an extraordinary landscape.
It is the home of the biggest solar telescope ever built (4.24m aperture), which entered in service in 2019.
Tested compatible with FS2024.
Optional libraries :
Download and install the “Dave’s 3D People Library” in your community folder.
Download and install the “Windy Things Library” in your community folder.
Version 2.0 :
Reworked for compatibility with World Update 13 (Oceania) : it takes the best from the original scenery combined with world update telescopes.
See the documentation in case of compatibility issues (duplicate buildings) to set the proper scenery priority.
This mod is part of my Giant Telescope project :

If possible, could you also add the visitor center at the summit, 10023 ft?

Excellent. Breath-taking scenery and I love the animated AEOS telescope.
I actually use the complete Giant Telescopes addon, but I was able to use this to replace the droide-maui-observatory folder for compatibility with WU13 thanks.
