As many of you are aware, Honolulu was voted to be the default airport for release 2018.1. Due to a lack of access to most of the world scenery shapefiles, generating new scenery for Honolulu and O'ahu appears to be a large undertaking.
In an effort toward mitigating the missing shapefile problem, I've spent some time over the last few weeks producing a script to regenerate shapefiles from available terrain (*.btg) files. There are still a few issues to resolve, but the results are looking pretty good.
Since my time has been invested in producing this script, I've spent no time actually modeling anything for Honolulu.
I'd like to share these "draft" shapefiles and PHNL.dat (apt.dat) with other scenery modelers in case there is interest in generating a new island mesh and airport. Be aware that there are rounding errors along bucket boundaries so the generated terrain may have some artifacts (haven't actual done this myself yet).
