Hi Aharon, I was in time to get it for free, but see that it "requires" AU Australia v2 region. I've got v1 and really don't feel like spending more money on these regions, especially with MSFS out now. So, it was a worthless freebie for me really.

It was designed to work with AU Australia and it does, seamlessly. Unless you are feeling too aggrieved, you could even try it.

As long as the airport is on flat ground without mountains, any ORBX airport does NOT require any payware base package (except for free Orbx library base packages that are required).  I have been using without problems few payware Orbx airport sceneries on my FSX.  You do not need Australia package for airport sceneries especially I am using paid Melbourne airport scenery without problem. Same thing for paid ESSA airport scenery.

Now I am still wondering why I have NOT seen any announcement for this free Essendon airport via regular Orbx emails sent to me. And how did I miss that announcement on Avsim if I check this bargain subforum EVERY DAY??

Regards,

Aharon
