August 27, 20169 yr Dear friends, Whets wrong with the Portland International Airport? It's one of the main hubs in USA west coast, an ANG main base and yet I haven't seen any good payware or freeware scenery for FSX or P3D... Why no developer has made a good PDX airport? Any restriction due to the fact that it's an ANG base? Does anybody know if there's any developer working on it? Dear friends, What's wrong with the Portland International Airport?

August 27, 20169 yr PM Soares: I visit PDX occasionally. I picked up a freeware scenery package. I suggest you search AVSIM and other web sites. The freeware may not be perfect, but it does the job for me. By the way, I rate PDX as a fairly complicated airport to navigate. Good luck on your search. Jim Elder.
August 27, 20169 yr There has been a payware for FS9 that works if you do some changes to it for FSX, but I too wish a new PDX was released. One of the last large airports that needs a good rendition in the US.
August 27, 20169 yr Administrators I'm using this one and it's for FS2004 but does just fine in FSX. portland_kpdx_2010.zip Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
August 27, 20169 yr Dont forget the ORBX freeware scenery for Portland area. Its pretty good. Doesnt enhance the airport but there are other options with a search but its nice to have the area enhanced. https://www.fullterrain.com/freeware# CYVR LSZH I7-14700k 64gb 6000Mhz DDR5 ASUS z690 ROG STRIX Gaming RTX 4080 Super,

August 28, 20169 yr Unfortunately there are no good freeware or paywere sceneries for PDX, I was hoping FSdreamream would take on the project but they said in a forum post that another developer was already started on one so the backed off, they didn't say which developer though. I was hoping it was flight beam or LatinVFR. Aaron Brazda.
August 28, 20169 yr It would be a great airport due to the Passenger terminal and the Oregon Air National Guard using the same airport. I remember flying out of there when I was about 12 and 3 F-4 Phantoms took off simultaneously right in front of our Air Alaska 737, I will never forget how the rumble of those engines shook our fuselage. Today they use F-15's which would be awesome having them taxi in front of you to an active runway. Also the MAX Red Line Light Rail too and from the Terminal is a nice scenery addition as well.

August 28, 20169 yr I've just uploaded to Avsim and Flightsim a freeware KPDX scenery for FSX. It should be made available for downloading shortly.
August 28, 20169 yr Read that "both PDX and EWR are in development." See this thread: http://www.airdailyx.net/fsnewsbreaker/2016/8/28/fsdt-shows-first-imagery-of-charlotte-douglas MSFS
August 29, 20169 yr Read that "both PDX and EWR are in development." Whoever is making KPDX, if they are making just the airport, its not going to cut it... The expectations are big and there has been precedent! http://www.avsim.com/topic/494021-kpdx/ Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter

August 29, 20169 yr Orbx has Portland City scenery out, and with Orbx PNW. No need for anything BUT the airport!
August 29, 20169 yr I've been using my own modified version without the ground textures. It's much better than the default that comes with FTX PNW: I'm looking forward to a new one. Jose MSFS
October 8, 20178 yr There is a good PDX payware being made by Flightbeam. It is in progress and therefore not talked about too much and hard to find information on but flightbeam is working on PDX and looking at their quality on previous airports I'm sure it will turn out absolutely awesome. The following link takes you to a blog page which has a link to their Facebook page that you can use to follow any updates on the progress of their PDX airport. http://flightbeam.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2479
