Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, formerly known as Honolulu International Airport, is the largest international airport in the state of Hawaii, U.S.A. It is located on the island of Oahu, west of downtown Honolulu.
This package adds two towers designed to more closely resemble the real-world towers at PHNL. The package also adds the breezeways between the main terminal building and the C and G concourses, the open-air gates extending east from the G concourse, the Mauka concourse, the HAL maintenance and cargo buildings, the ARFF building on the north side of runway 8L/26R, the United maintenance hangar, and a few other items here and there. I used a generic apartment building from the Asobo library as a stand in for the FDC building.
In addition to adding the above objects, I also added some helipads. I changed the gate names at the terminal to PHNL's current alphanumeric system, and I also renamed some of the taxiways to match the present-day taxiway names. And of course, I replaced most of the default painted lines with custom painted lines.
I'm hoping to release updates with additional objects and custom terminal buildings. And I plan to add seaplane parking soon. I would've included the latter with the initial release, but I became discouraged by the fact that I couldn't get my "dock_GA" parking to interact properly with ATC, so I deleted it. Still, I really want to be able to spawn a cold-and-dark seaplane out in the water, so I'll probably add the dock_GA back in, whether it plays well with ATC or not.
To install, unzip the downloaded file, and place the unzipped lmj-airport-phnl folder into your community folder.
I thank ambientcg.com, polyhaven.com, and pexels.com for their royalty-free textures and images. And I thank the security officers at PHNL for not stopping me last November to ask why I was spending three hours inside their airport, photographing everything from departure/arrival boards to restroom signage.

Keep visiting this link to see if you have an update yet. Looking forward for more updates as you have announced it. Been using your freeware flying from payware airports from the West Coast. Love this airport.....mahalo.

One of the best freeware sceneries I've ever downloaded (circa FS98). I visited PHNL for the first time about a month ago, and this scenery is extraordinarily accurate. Everything from the cement interior, to the gate placement, terminal layouts and of course Hawaiian clothing on the restroom signs (identical lol).
All of my flights/trips in MSFS are continuous, therefore I didn't want to spend $$$ on a PHNL scenery as I don't make the long journey out to the islands from the mainland that often. The fact that it's free while also pay-ware quality, makes this scenery a blessing!

Finally a good PHNL. Thank you!
