MSE 2.0 Hawaii or Hawaii Photoreal?

For the price,MSE is a bargain(& thanks for the link,I didnt know I could get 40% off today so got a couple more areas :))
I think the freeware is some airports, not the whole chain.
 
Don't forget to check Javier Trinidad's freeware Hawaii Photoreal scenery. Big Island was released not so long ago, but I didn't try it yet (4.4GB!)... Looks promising...

George Keogh's airports are also very nice. Both packages should mix quite well (Javier made several patches to avoid conflicts).

Javier's Hawaii Photoreal works best with Raimondo Taburet free 10m mesh (hawai10_2.zip @ flightsim.com)

Some fresh screenshots (by me) of Lanai and Molokai with Javier Trinidad's Hawaii Photoreal scenery and George Keogh's Hawaiian Airport Packs. FSX cannot be any better than this, don't you think? And this is for free...

Ford Island HI (NPS)

Ford Island Navy Base Hawaii. Ford Island Navy Base located in the beautiful Hawaiian Islands (HI). This scenery adds some combat ramps, static aircraft and ships. Also adds a ILS approach on runway 4. This file will not impact your frame rates. By J. D. Starseed.

Hawaii Big Island by Javier Trinidad (freeware Hawaii Photoreal scenery)

The Hawaii freeware offerings are quite good, but needs a little work to enjoy.
So far Oahu and Kauai are not available yet (edit: check out Kauai by Ironhand at Lockonfiles).
So MegaScenery Earth 2.0 Hawaii is certainly a good deal at $5...

Yes indeed! Some screenshots from Hawaii photoreal Oahu:

Honolulu Int'l (default airport with included Afcad fix)

Dillingham, Kalaeola, and Kaneohe (with George Keogh airport pack @ avsim)

To get this nice darker ocean color, I'm using FS Water Configurator Public Preview (DX9 and DX10 compatible)

I'v uninstalled payware MegaCity Hawaii (Honolulu/Oahu). I was quite happy with it, but it's a bit dated (2006) and it shows. Javier Trinitad's Oahu is simply much better.
