    PHTO Aerial Imagery - Image 1

    Description

    Aerial imagery for PHTO - Hilo International Airport exracted from Google Earth. While by no means perfect, this add-on aims to prevent pilots landing here from gouging their eyes out after seeing the default ground textures. This version of the scenery package contains a giant ground texture with georeferencing and some clutter. It is compatible with other PHTO airport or scenery.

    Great enhancement. Really nice detail 5/5. I wish MSFS2020 would get the MSFS2024 ground textures Asobo promised from the new bing data maps which are much better quality and also newer.

    Could you create PHOG airport satelite imagery? To complete the collection of all major Hawaiian airports?

    Thank you and i guess Maui airport is next? With some talents creating these scenery airport mods and some payware. Flying to these islands with your imagery, makes it fun flying on these fields. Keep em coming...

    I don't intend to do the Maui one actually because there's a great payware airport that already has good ground textures. And if I make it only for the generic airport it will not be good with only updated ground imagery anyway. But check out PHKO, PHLI and PHNL.

    Thank you so much for this! That and Honolulu.

    Great work with this. Flying over the airport looks a lot better now.
