This is an exceptional rendition of one of Hawaii’s most scenic airports. The level of detail is remarkable, with beautifully crafted terminals, custom ground textures, and authentic signage capturing the airport’s charm. The lush tropical surroundings are seamlessly integrated, creating an immersive approach and departure experience. Dynamic night lighting and animated ground vehicles add vibrancy, while optimized performance ensures smooth operation.
Again Northern Sky Studios delivered an absolutely stunning detailed recreation of an airport. In this case it is the wonderful airport Lihu'e in Kauai, that I personally know from several visits during various vacations. Since MSFS 2020 was published I was waiting several years hoping that especially Northern Sky Studios would select this airport for creation because just they everytime manage to really reproduce the whole charme of very special wonderful airports outside and inside and they delivered again. All terminal buildings are not only reproduced exactly but also recreated inside in all wonderful details.
There remains very few to wish but:
- the streets next to the airport's roundabout and the "Lihue Airport" sign should be modelled for much better texture quality instead of using air images.
- Two shops inside are closed (gards closed) - it would be more beautiful if these where opened
...but this is critisizing on a very high level ;). So this airport is an absolute must-have for Hawaii-Lovers.
