Is there any decent freeware island hopping scenery for fs2004?

Im looking at doing short hops no longer than 1hr.

PD

Hmmm, well it only includes 3 Airports, but they are on 3 separate islands! I would definitely recommend FLY TAMPA's St Martin. The complete package includes the one and only spotters paradise of St. Martin Princess Juliana; the shortest commercial runway in the world, at Saba; and one of the craziest approaches for light aircraft, St Barts.

I have the FSX version, but there is a FS2004 version. The FSX version is quite incredible and definitely captures the incredible flying available at these airports. Have a look at some of the screenshots, then look at some videos of the real approaches on YouTube and you will be amazed how similar they look.

All the Airports are really close to each other as well, so island hoping is possible.

(by the way Fly Tampa don't pay me to say that...its really is just THAT good!)

Get yourself the Greek islands sceneries avaliable on avsim....just search for "Hellas Scenery Project"
and "Greek airports project"....take in places like Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Naxos, Paros...etc etc... I did an Island hopping trip around that part of the world in a float plane...It was really great fun because you could choose whether you wanted to land at the airport on your wheels or leave the gear up and land in the secluded bay just beyond! ...

'Glacier Bay v2' is a great fs2004 high res mesh scenery addon with a combo of islands, fjords, mainland airstrips and water bases. Many hours of VFR exploring awaits you there

How good is glacier bay?
