FTX Freeware Airports - Orbx Region compatible?

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I was thinking about installing these for North America as there are over 300 Airports but I do not own Global.

One of the airports is KVNY in Southern Cal which I have that REGION installed. I was curious if these airports which fall into

an Orbx Region will install and blend correctly. Anyone done this yet?

 

Thanks

They work but you need at least one Orbx region so you'll have the libraries... The custom airports are basically just ade updates but most use objects from Orbx libraries.

 

Then again you might be able to just install the Orbx libraries...

Hey Ryan, thanks Bud! Nice to know. I can now fly out of my home airport from way back!

The KVNY supplied with SCAL region is newer than the ftx global free version. Also, I believe the freeware airports which are now in orbx regions have been withdrawn from the packages.
