This scenery add-on places the telescope array on the summit of Mona Kea on the big island of Hawaii. The observatories came default with
FS2002 and were taken away for FS2004. The summit of the dormant volcano is at an altitude of 13,900 feet which is the highest point
on the Hawaiian island chain. This makes for a perfect location for the observatories due to less atmosphere for light to pass through
from the stars to the telescope lenses.
The sizes and locations of the observatories were based on actual coordinates and aerial photograghs.
The Observatories at the summit are easily reached by a short helicopter flight NE from Bradshaw AAF (PHSF). They are also reachable
from Hilo Intl. The Domes open at night and reveal the telescopes.
Installation:
1. Cut and paste the 'Mona Kea Observatories' folder to the 'Addon Scenery' folder in the FS2004 directory.
2. Start FS2004. click settings, then scenery library, add area, addon scenery, Mona Kea Observatories, ok, thats it.
