Yes, the ground imagery does not change, but the autogen vegetation does chanfe in the P3d versions of TE sceneries AFAIK. I can't verify this though, because when TE came out I had already moved to XP and now exklusively use MSFS.
Thanks for the clarification, wolfko. I don't own any TE products, so I can't comment about autogen vegetation changing or not.

Actually, TE does an OK job of simulated spring, summer, and fall because the vegetation, trees and so forth, change colors. You can see that in some of the images I have posted. What TE doesn't display is winter ground textures in other words, snow and ice. However, if you have the Orbx regions you can get all the seasons including areas where there is native P3D scenery. So if I want snow and ice I can fly in the regions or native P3D areas. I have not invested in MSFS yet so I don't know how it handles seasons.
Truthfully, that's not how I understand how the TE scenery works. It's a once only snapshot of the area in question, dependent on when the photo was taken. That seems to be the feedback that I have read, anyway.

Thank you John!
Guess I should've searched first
SO from what I'm reading it sounds like TE is the updated version of the region.
Robert
Robert, TE uses photoreal scenery, the regions use landclass scenery--two different display methods. TE scenery doesn't change with the seasons, the landclass regions do.

Hi Folks. Quick question--I have tried getting the PNG Emo Mission freeware. It downloads and installs and appears in the Scenery Library just below the Orbx Library, but does not appear in the actual program place-selection list or on the map. This is true for both FSX Steam and P3D4. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Hey, Rodger. I believe you have to go out and find those airstrips. There was at one time a google map or kmz file of their locations, but off hand I don't know where that is located on the Orbx site. Perhaps someone knows where to find it.

Thanks, Nick. I had forgotten about the two extra parking spots--it's been awhile.

The newly released MK Studios scenery for Ponta Dekgada ( LPPD) that is being sold in the Orbx store can anyone tell me if it’s compatible with P3D version 4.5 ?
Many Thanks
It appears to be for v5 only, per the product page information.

I take it you are not keen to trying my suggestion I posted above ^^^? If so, there doesn't appear to be any other solution.

What is the new update that you posted. It is advisable to let us know Nothing is mentioned in your Orbx Release Announcements
There was a recent update to the Orbx Libraries. Perhaps that's the one you are referring to?

Thank you for the added information. It's a beautiful area up there in Idaho and your area of Boise. I enjoy flight simming to all those small airports in Idaho once in awhile.
Cheers!

My version was for FSX originally (in 2014), and I just ported it over to P3D. Running v4.5hf2 and it looks ok. The only difference I've noticed is that the areas between the taxiways and the runways, those areas where you saw the depressions, are not green in my version. That may be because P3D has assigned different textures to those areas. Anyway, the scenery works for me as is, so I'm going to leave it alone. There may be differences in the city of Boise itself, but I haven't checked those.

Interesting! I'm curious why my version of KBOI works as is, without a corrected AFCAD. How new or old is your version?
-
Is your KBOI installed above all Orbx products? It is the case with my installation and I don't see the "canyons" you are seeing. The fact that you do not have Vector installed is not an issue, since CRM uses its own data.

Thanks for the update, Chris.

So, turn off your crash detection and enjoy your flight.
Exactly so, Chris. Crash detection has never been accurately represented in either FSX or P3D, as far as I know. It has made no sense to me that some folks insist on keeping crash detection enabled because "it contributes to the reality of the sim", when, in fact, it does not.

Hay CYYC would be cool.

What I and several other users of this airport have done is spawn on the runway and then use "slew" to move the airplane to where you want to spawn next time, then save the scenario. Any fixes that have been attempted in the past have been defeated by P3D in not recognizing the "old" parking spaces which were available in FSX.

I have previously run the auto configuration tool and subsequently have run the tool manually to correct those airports added after the auto config tool was run, and saved all the corrections to a profile. Will that profile be saved when the new Vector is installed, or will I have to run the auto AEC again, thus losing that profile which was saved previously?
Ahh...never mind. This issue is mentioned in Ben's announcement regarding Orbx Central 4.0.10. Any and all changes will not be lost. Thanks!

There is a FreeMesh available--don't know the details, but several folks here use it and haven't had any issues. At any rate, NorCal has its own mesh, so I can't say what might be the problem. Also, it's not reasonable to suppose the four Orbx products you have mentioned are somehow in conflict with each other, so there is a conflict elsewhere, I would guess.

Thanks for the update....for those of you who do not want to print out more than 40 pages, these lists can easily be saved as PDF files. I have an HP printer which allows me to easily convert, and I keep the lists on my desk top for quick reference. I suspect most print program allow for PDF save format...
Sherm
Thanks for the tip, Sherm. You are correct--these two spreadsheets are easily saved as pdf files.
Cheers!

Hello,
Thanks for these new freeware airports and for the updated list.
I regularly update my AEC profile as indicated in this list and noticed a typo :
the airport OV2 in the spreadsheet should be read 0V2 (not the letter "O" but the numeral "0" - zero.)
My very small contribution
Gérard
FYI, the airport designation is correct in the release announcement, however.

No problem, Larry. Thanks again for all your work on the freeware airports. It's most appreciated. Some of those out-of-the-way little airports would ordinarily escape any notice were it not for the freeware packs. Thanks again!

@woodhick803 and Larry Isenor:
Just a heads-up fellas. I'm in the process of adding the 04/19 Update to my Google Earth kmz library and have discovered that Carlyle Airport's designator should be CJQ3, not CJQ5, which is Arnes Airport next door in Alberta.
Cheers! Love these freeware airports, btw!
