Easter Island is one of the most isolated places on Earth. The island is
over 3,000Km far from nearest lands, Tahiti and Chile. Just four B767
flights a week between Santiago and Tahiti stop over here, the two are

east
bound and the others are west bound. When the airplane arrives, the small
terminal building is crowded with the people who had come to meet or to

see
off passengers.

fs9: SCIP Mataveria, 11000' runway Isla de Pascua; S27*09 W109*26

Is that Easter island itself? I found that but wasnt sure if it was the
right island as there was nothing to see there.

p.s. gee, why didn't you look in fs9?

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Could you give lat long for easter island and name/callsign of nearest
airstrip as I could not find it. Also if there isnt an airstrip on the
island itself could you help me with the course to the island from

nearest
airstrip? Thanks.

I thought this would be a good place to start to find interesting

scenic
objects in FS9. Scroll half-way down the page and you will find a

table
of
scenic objects and the lat.& long. coordinates. I know this table is

for
FS2000, but so far all of the places that I have checked have also

been
accurate for FS9, and I think this is a good place to start. I have

also
found hot air balloons near Deer Valley, Ariz. and stone faces on

Easter
Island. It's almost like a scavenger hunt! I hope others post

interesting
scenic objects that they have found.
