October 9, 201312 yr Thanks for posting this. I wasn't aware of the freeware packs. I also googled packs 1 and 2 and hope to install all three of them.
October 9, 201312 yr Author Sure thing! They're small in file size, but a very nice upgrade from default. ORBX sure is churning out the freebies. This latest pack includes Huntsville International Airport which has two runways over 10,000ft in length. In addition, I may have to start running 777 charter flights to KGCN so tourists can get up close and personal with the Grand Canyon (the park never closed in my FSX world with the gov't shutdown) B) Chris Sunseri
October 10, 201312 yr I haven't tried the installers yet, but I guess one has to manually disable those airports where a better addon is already installed?
October 10, 201312 yr They're promoting FTXG: The surroundings of every FTXG freeware airport look so ugly in FSX default ... Thanks for the heads up, Chris!!! What happened to AVSIM
October 10, 201312 yr Holy crap! He did my home airport KSSI!!! What a gift! Awesome!!!!!! Sent from my Apple communications device. William Sequeira
October 10, 201312 yr I'm not sure why they bothered with KGCN, since it was already nicely done and distributed freely on Aussiex.

That and the Grand Canyon looks like crud in FTXG, I wouldn't be drawing attention to it!

October 11, 201312 yr I'm not sure why they bothered with KGCN, since it was already nicely done and distributed freely on Aussiex. True, but it can be separated from the Grand Canyon photo layer easily enough. I'd definitely suggest trying the FTXG version... though it doesn't have custom buildings, it's got lots of other nice features and it plays well with the photos.
October 11, 201312 yr I found the kgcn from Aussiex to be almost bare, and there to be no afcad at all, it just used the default. Maybe I installed it wrong but the photo textures looked great.
