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.


Yes it is. I made the same mistake in FS2002 you're probably making
now: You'll have to turn on as much detail as possible on the grafix,
and look very close to see the statues. There are many of them, but
they are pretty small from the air.

Best would be to land your 'heavy' there, then take a helicopter for a
tour around the island, up close, slow and low.
