  1. Japan RJTO Oshima Airport

    The island of Ōshima lies just outside the mouth of Tokyo Bay, about 100 km from Tokyo. It is served by a surprisingly well-appointed airport that gets daily flights from Tokyo Haneda and Chōfu Airport in northwestern Tokyo, as well as helicopter flights linking Tokyo to the islands further south.
    Ōshima Airport is a good location for short flights to and from Tokyo and other locations in Japan. Though the real Ōshima Airport most likely shuts down every evening, I've kitted this scenery out with lots of HDR lighting. Custom objects include a Toho Airlines Sikorsky S-72 helicopter and a few local taxicabs sporting real island taxi liveries.
    The scenery requires OpenSceneryX and includes Andreas Wieberneit’s Weathered Edges enhancement on the shoulders of the pavement. I availed myself of Jonathan "Marginal" Harris's indispensable tools for exporting objects for use in X-Plane, and would have never made anything were it not for his helpful tutorials. Barbarossa's Reload_Scenery plugin made it possible to see the results of object placement and modifications without maddeningly having to restart X-Plane or changing locations in the sim every time.
    The screenshots show some add-ons to the stock X-Plane 10 product. The darker and more detailed pavements are thanks to FlyJSim’s free Enhanced Runways HD files. The surrounding landscape scenery is augmented with John Spahn’s UrbanMAXX. The Fokker F27-600 is the beautiful freeware plane by atgcab, with a retro 1960s ANA livery lovingly recreated by X-Plane user Ru-Ski.
    UPDATE:
    X-Plane user ScottP posted conversions of many many airports all over Japan a few years back. I recommend these files to anyone who wants to populate Japan and fly around a bit.
    UPDATE, August 2014: Adjusted the scenery for users of Andras Fabian's highly recommended HD Mesh Scenery V2, which delivers more accurate elevation data, roads, and so forth. Also added local bus service into town.

  2. Japan RJTH Hachijojima Airport

    Hachijōjima Airport serves the island of Hachijōjima, administratively a part of Tokyo despite being located 287 km south of the metropolitan area. Hachijōjima is a popular tourist destination and gets daily flights from Tokyo Haneda. Toho Airlines operates helicopter flights between Hachijōjima, Tokyo, and other islands in the area.
