File Description:
Hana Airport is a regional airport of the State of Hawaii on the east shore of the island of Maui, 3 NM northwest of the unincorporated town of Hana. The airport covers 119 acres and has one runway. It is primarily a commuter facility used by unscheduled air taxis and general aviation. This scenery is intended as a single/multiplayer helicopter obstacle course where heli pilots can meet to compete, show off, and share their helo skills. Since birdseye (Timm Turner) already did a neat scenery called Hana_Scenery_PHHN (search for "hana" in the HoverControl Downloads), we decided to convert PHHN to a full helicopter training area. Makes a great place for helo pilots to gather to practice and perfect their skills, and challenge other pilots! And keep an eye-out for that Hot Air Balloon, cruising around an altitude of 3000 feet (don't forget to wave at them!). Another unique thing about this scenery is the neighboring islands (Honolulu Intl/Hickam AFB, Bellows AFB, Lanai City, Kahului, Molokai, etc). If you get frustrated during your heli obstacle course training, just take a heading of 275 degrees, and relax at one of the neighboring islands. We also added an Easter Egg - If you set your FS calendar to July 21st, you'll see a large ridge fire up in the hills. Load Jordan Moore's Erickson S64E (http://www.hovercontrol.com/) & try your skills at water bombing!

Replacement 'Overcast' Water Texture V. 4.0

File Description:
Replacement dynamic "overcast" water texture for FS2004 (VERSION 4). The default milky "white/green" texture is highly unrealistic in most overcast conditions. The replacement texture will change this dramactically to a much more convincing and realistic "blue/grey" cast, with improved lighting and refections. Version 4 has been further improved to allow a more convincing dynamic wave action missing on version 1 and 2. It is also superior to version 3. Version 4 of my water texture is also better in respect of colours and tonal balance. Most importanly in version 4 attention has been paid to the lighting reflection on the water surface.

Replacement 'Moon Light Water' Textures

File Description:
Replacement "moon light water" textures for FS2004. The default FS9 night water texture is the same for all moon positions and it is clear that MS did not complete their intention to finish this section as they include “high moon”, “low moon”, and “new moon” textures for the FS9 code to work with but all the textures are exactly the same. As a result of not finishing this section MS had to make a compromise and opted for a hint of color and brightness to all the night time water environment textures. In other words upto now we have not really seen a new moon or a full moon with FS9. I’ve changed all that and maybe using these textures will give us a hint of what to expect in FS2006 or FS10. Textures included are; new moon light water textures and a new "new moon" texture. Now when you fly by moonlight you can actually see the moon kissed water and even see some wave action. The new darker "new moon" water texture allows for a dramacic difference It actually feels like you are there! Please NOTE: I've read quite a bit recently on the forums and noticed some people want no wave action. Personally, I like the wave action as it gives an impression of movement. Of course it could be better and hopefully will be in FS10 or FS2006 but that's upto MS, and it is not out yet. Meanwhile please be advised it is not possible to see environment textures and to turn the wave action off! By Peter Wilding

Replacement 'Overcast' Water Texture (VERSION 3)

File Description:
Replacement "overcast" water texture for FS2004 (VERSION 3). The default milky "white/green" texture is highly unrealistic. The replacement texture will change this to a more convincing "blue/grey" cast. Version 3 has been further improved to allow a more convincing dynamic wave action missing on version 1 and 2. Version 3 of the water texture is also better in respect of colours and tonal balance. Works in all seasons and in all world regions. The replacement texture supplied will only work on DX9 compliant video cards. You must be able to move the "Water Effects" slider all the way to the right.

Replacement Dynamic Water Texture Set Version 12

File Description:
Replacement dynamic water texture set for FS2004 (VERSION 12). The default reflections and water colors leave a lot to be desired in FS2004. As an example; The default "bright green" overcast texture is highly unrealistic in overcast conditions. Most of the FS9 default colours are generally too electric and cartoon like. These replacement textures will change these water environment textures dramatically to a much more convincing and realistic colour and, with improved lighting and reflections in respect to the sun. Version 12 moon light textures are new and there is an improved mid-sun with more convincing reflections. Now when you fly by moonlight you can actually see the moon kissed water and even see some wave action. It actually feels like you are there! There are 3 moon light textures in this download. These replacement textures will generally give a much more realistic tone and color to the water effects in FS2004. The change is quite dramatic and transforms the flight sim experience to a much greater level of realism. It is important to stress the default FS9 textures are fully compatible with these new textures and they can be used in any combinations and can be mixed and matched with the new textures. As a further added bonus a voice control file has been included for "Shoot" which will control FS2004 by voice. It is brilliant and it's free.

Replacement Dynamic Water Textures v11

File Description:
Replacement dynamic water texture-sets for FS2004 (VERSION 11). These newer version 11 moon light textures are a completely new type than my earlier versions. The results are much improved and there is also a "new moon" texture in this version which is a more realistic and darker blue/black which contrasts nicely with my moon light textures. This compares quite drastically to the default over lit pinkish brown tones the default FS9 uses for a new moon. Now when you fly by moonlight you can actually see the moon kissed water and even see some wave action. It actually feels like you are there! There are 2 moon light textures in this download. The default reflections and water colors leave a lot to be desired in FS2004. As an example; The default milky "bright green" overcast texture is highly unrealistic in overcast conditions. The replacement textures will change this dramatically to a much more convincing and realistic "blue/grey", cast, with improved lighting and reflections in respect to the sun. These replacement textures will generally give a much more realistic tone and color to the water effects in FS2004. The change is quite dramatic and transforms the flight sim experience to a much greater level of realism. It is important to stress the default FS9 textures are fully compatible with these new textures and they can be used in any combinations and can be mixed and matched with the new textures. For example it may be that some users want to keep some of the water environment textures as they are by default but change only one or two textures. The choice is yours. As a further added bonus a voice control file has been included for "Shoot" which will control FS2004 by voice. It is brilliant and it's free.

Water Reflection Replacement Textures

File Description:
The Golden Eagles Squadron presents alternative sparkling water with sun and moon reflection textures. They add a more dynamic quality to the fs2004 water with sun glints and vigorous wave action as would be seen on a sunny windy day. Caution, these textures are only for DX9 compliant cards and will not work unless you can move the "Water Effects" to High in your display options! We hope you enjoy them and visit us often at the Golden Eagles Squadron.
