Lord Howe Island is located in the Tasman Sea, 600 km (370 mi) east of Port Macquarie on the coast of mainland Australia and (along with Norfolk Island) is an important transit and refueling point for light aircraft flying between Australia and New Zealand. Located 600 km (373 mi) to the west is the Australian mainland, and 900 km (559 mi) to the east is Norfolk Island Airport which is within range of New Zealand to the southeast and New Caledonia to the north. These countries are within the range of many light aircraft when fitted with extra fuel tanks and operating via the two islands, but not while flying directly between them. From New Caledonia, other Pacific nations such as Vanuatu and Fiji are within range and can be used as further 'stepping stones' to other South Pacific and North Pacific destinations.

Thank you so much for this addon. Quick question. My Ball's Pyramid Rock is a pancake. It's there but completely flat with no height to it at all. Could something with 1.1 airport elevation fix squashed the pyramid rock to zero elevation? Thanks so much for any insight.

Thanks mate, well done and much appreciated. Flew in last night and definitely a nice improvement until I get around to buying the pay ware version by Impulse.

Love doing circuits at YLHI . One thing I notice I that the terminal building only appears just before you cross the runway threashold. Balls pyramid is also not visible from a distance, so perhaps the visibility distances of the objects need a tweak.
