Orbx have released their freeware airports pack, and I thought I'd check it out...and maybe try to find them all

Cool stuff, I got to download this.  :D

Roger see my FTX post here

My flight would've been much more enjoyable with the 60 photoreal airfields to explore.

That dirt strip looks amazing

just been searching for those myself, didnt find any

its certanly a nice easter egg for FTX

love the extra shot in the clouds, just awesome  :)

Cheers guys, the trick is (suggested by Koorby himself) to open your FSX folder, open Orbx, open User Documents and in there find AusBlue Freeware Airports... .kml. Click on that and Google Earth will open. I think you have to have Google Earth installed. It's awesome - just check it out if you haven't seen it.

In Google Earth it's possible to focus in on the approximate area you see on the maps which come with the Freeware Airports manual. By closing in and then moving the area of focus around with the 'hand' cursor you should be able to find what the airport looks like and where it is. You can also try putting the exact coordinates from Google Earth into the map view in-sim, and you should be taken there.

I'll check out your post now Mitch  :)

Cheers

Looks very good Krigl.  I'm waiting for the US regions though, although I might get AU Blue just to try it out.

Do you know if you need a copy of FTX to use the freeware airports or are they a standalone product (I know you can download them separately, but can you use them without FTX)?

Another nice set Roger ... I like the 'messing with the Extra' shot a lot!

Thanks Krigl, I'm definitely going to get FTX - once I get my tax rebate.

Looks really nice!
