Wakashi Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Thanks for this excellent work! Transposed it to my iPad app Numbers spreadsheet and it works grreat, able to "find" any airport quickly! 1
Ravenman Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Thanks a bunch. I'm planning fly-ins for my crew of each state individually. It should be a lot of fun. Some of our crew, including myself, have every scenery ORBX has ever created and published. This is our website. http://weflytogether.org/aboutus.php We fly together a couple of times a week and have some pretty good fly-in creators. We really appreciate the work ORBX people do.

Buffy Foster Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Thank you; I was just going to ask for this! \ (^-^ ) /
Dustoff Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Hello, is there any chance to get the old NA Pack7? I am looking for the KPIL Scenery/BGLs. It must be now included the ORBX Shoutern California. But I don’t have this product. Regards Stefan
POLYMERMAN Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I wouldn't think so Stefan. It appears airports are removed as they become payware. Companies like to make money.
woodhick803 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 The KPIL I'm looking at (Port Isabel Texas) is not included in the freeware packs. It is not part of the So/Cal payware. My list includes all freeware packs issued. As far as I can tell, it has never been part of any freeware pack.

That would not make any sense. It was Freeware before. If anybody has the old NA Pack 7 on his computer could share those BGLs.
woodhick803 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 We all have the entire cumulative airport packs. It is my understanding that they would simply be lower in the order of things in the add-on scenery. Can you not, therefore, simply move the bgl for your airport higher? At this point you're going to have to "seek professional help". I've exhausted the entire store of my flight sim tinkering knowledge. All both things

Just get the freeeware pack and you'll have it. 5 hours ago, Dustoff said: That would not make any sense. It does make sense because Chester (KSNC) used to be free and isn't now.
Mach 2 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Hi Woodhick803, Do you update the list as airports are removed for ORBX payware equivalents?
woodhick803 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 No, I have no real way of knowing which ones have been replaced and have no interest in tracking each one.
woodhick803 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Posted April 8, 2018 Orbx ADMIN; I have added a new post including the April updates. You may delete this post. Thank you.
jotaedo Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Hello all, i actually own a lot of ORBX add on sceneries I’m really glad with what I have tasted by now. said that... I have installed the freeware NA. Pack... but i would like to know how to deactivate a particular airport (SCTE) since I bought a pay ware version of it I have already figured out that deleting all the scte named bgl’s Would be enough... but I rather ask first thanks in advance pd: ORBX people, keep up the good work pd2: sorry if my English is not perfect, not my first tongue
woodhick803 Posted May 22, 2018 Author Posted May 22, 2018 I'm not completely sure you have to delete them at all. If the new payware scenery installs higher up in the add-on scenery I think it will automatically overwrite the freeware. Hopefully someone who actually knows what they are talking about will reply.

Raebo Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Thank you so much for these handy lists. Many of these freeware airports are as good as the payware airports IMO. Go to CYMM to see what I mean, truly spectacular. I require at least 6000 feet for the exclusive aircraft( A2A Boeing 377 Stratocruiser) that I fly everyday. There are many 6000’ plus airports to choose from. I am presently working my way to each of these airports enjoying their individual characteristics. Thank you Orbx for these freeware airports.
larryisenor Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks for the kind comments. It makes the work on the airports worthwhile. Larry 1
Lysander Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Larry Is there a spreadsheet link to list for EU freeware airports suitable for printing as in above links [USA Here] and [Canada/South America Here]?
larryisenor Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 I'm not sure. There used to be a list. I usually look at the google earth file which shows them all. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=16TLldaoxxmFv7wOWfYyM8zV-bgM&ll=51.54924741444042%2C-106.01806640625&z=7 Larry
woodhick803 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 To the best of my knowledge there is not. Sorry
Lysander Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Thanks checked scenery file found ADE listings of 12 airports Belgium: EBKH Balen, EBLG Liege, EBNM Namur, EBSG St. Ghislain, EBSP La Sauveniere, EBTY Maubray, EBZR Oostmalle, EBZW Zwartberg Denmark: EK20 Lindtorp Sweden: ESNN Sundsvall, ESNQ Kirna, ESSU Eskilstuna
Lysander Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Map was helpful in locating more EU airports. However many Germany E series are missing. FTX3 product page shows EU installed only option is uninstall. Dont want to do until get some expert opinions. Thank you in advance

I purchased Global Base in the recent sale and have been looking for a reason to go to Europe. I think I shall set up a route and fly to each of the airports on this list, as well as the pay-ware I have. Start in Spain and fly my way to Jan Mayensfield and Rekyavik ( FTX Global Iceland Demo )
Lysander Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Lance Great idea when done post your route [.pln] file
woodhick803 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Posted August 6, 2018 Looking good Lysander. Might I suggest you make a separate posting for your list? That way the powers that be might be interested in making a pinned "helpful hint" as they did with my USA/Canada listings. Thanks for joining in.
Ripcord Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Is there a Google Earth KLM file that has all these FTX Global airports plotted on the map? I used to have this done myself, had it all current, but then I had to replace a drive or something, and I lost a few files. EDIT: Got it, thanks Larry -- was able to download that file as a KML and open it in GE. All good now! Edited August 10, 2018 by Ripcord 1
POLYMERMAN Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Lucky you only losing a few files when your drive went. Buy a lottery ticket!
woodhick803 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Posted August 12, 2018 My series of Orbx Freeware airport listings have been updated to include the August release. Please note, in the future I will continue to list only those airports in the USA, Canada, and South America. 1
pilotjj1 Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 It seems like the EU and NA packs have been merged into a single megapack. Their individual entries have been removed from FTX Central. What happens to the airports that were installed with the old packs. Were they uninstalled automatically?
Nick Cooper Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Hello, each pack was fully installed each time and they were always put into the same folder. The only difference is that now there is one installer for both sets of freeware airports.
woodhick803 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Posted August 12, 2018 If I am reading you correctly, the EU and USA, Canada etc packs no longer have to be D/L' ed separately but the listings posted by myself and Lysander can remain as separate postings.
