I flew this area prior to making my purchase and while it is nice Cli4d’s Bora Bora project really adds a significant amount of extra detail to it. It makes it feel alive with plenty to catch your eye. Flying in my H125 at dusk was a real treat. The rock faces now look fantastic. I have already flown two very enjoyable flights and will be doing more.

I am blown away by the update you released. I don't ever recall seeing palm trees swaying in the wind in the sim. But maybe your work is so good that I am just spellbound. 😂I know MSFS 2024 will bring lots of improvements, but I am absolutely confident you will find ways to even take it to another level. Kudos!

Unfortunately i am not getting the same graphic and details as on the pictures above. Waterbungalows are blurred shadowsin the water etc.
You can always ask for help if you are having problem with the scenery. You may have installed it incorrectly of you dont have the World Update Oceania installed. That is usually the problems when you have problem with the bungallows not showing up. Let me know If I can give a hand.
Thank you very much. This was the trick, to update World Oceania, to see all the details the same as on your pictures.
You should modify your score now that your issue was resolved. This author does exceptionally amazing work and does not deserve a one-star rating.

Whaouuu !!!! Just bought it today , had a ride on my Conan 206 L3, and had so much fun that I phoned to my boss to extend my vacation...!!! It REALLY worth the price nothing's missing: exotic birds, whales, dolphins, delta-wing and of course, tourists...and a very challenging and tricky log cabin to land! Thanks a lot, keep on this kind a work and I'll follow you anytime !!!
Thanks mate! More sceneries on the way.

Another wonderful helo playground to explore. The mountains are amazing, it's fun finding places to land, especially the cave. Lots of helipads and custom animations. Flying formation with a hangglider is interesting :) Highly recommended, and grab Clifford's Philippines scenery if you haven't already, it's outstanding!
Thanks man, hoping I can add more areas into it. I have started working on the other Islands. Tahaa and Moorea.

Why do buildings have collisions on there is simply no need for this and totally ruins the immersion Hardly any people feels like a deserted resort lots of empty huts
The huts with collisions are not part of my addon. It is a part of the Oceania update. . Humans can only be put on some locations though as putting it everywhere will get the performance affected. Did you see anything you like though? 😉
ok huts that makes sense as Asobo seem to love collisions now explored it more things i like.... Humpback whales breaching, The cave, tricky to land on that one. let me think more on what else I've liked.. The road around the island is good oh and i love the dirt track wonderful for the Juice Goose

Unless you've spent some time at Bora Bora in sim, you might not notice how detailed and extensive this scenery project is, even after the WU XIII Oceania update. There are so many subtle additions all around the island that you have to get close enough to see to appreciate. Amazing with helicopters and float planes. Or even, *gasp* a boat or land vehicle. Download WombiiActual's free airport buggy and take a sunset cruise on the now very flattened road that spans the entire interior island. If you're on the fence, go fly this dev's Manila Bay Enhancement project for free and then come back and buy this.
I couldn't have describeb better myself.. Very well done, thank you for the kind words haha and thank you for the review...

Customer service is excellent; needed a little help getting everything configured. When all is said and done, I would have to say this upgrade from the original Microsoft Bora Bora release is as stunning and dramatic as the original itself was the first time I saw it. We all love FS2020 of course but in truth the world can be a little sterile without signs of life. While scenes are gorgeous, it's the life that basically buys your immersion. The boats, breaching whales, soaring circling birds, all help build out this gem. I love the fact that there are birds circling the peaks of Bora Bora, because that is in fact what birds like to do. Highly recommended.
