best freeware scenery addons?

[brundlefly]

i just bought FS2004 the other day and was thinking of adding some scenery to the game so what do you all recommend that is FREE? location doesn't matter, i was just wanting something that adds more than just a few buildings,if possible.

in that case download terrain mesh. it greatly changes the look of FS . Its great

Other must haves are;
Improved water textures, there are several so best to find what works best with your graphics card
Airport Enviroment Upgrade v6.0, makes your airports really realistic.
The carrier package if naval ops are your thing....
Otherwise just browse the downloads here and see what takes your fancy

Airport Enviroment Upgrade v6.0? Where is this located?

[brundlefly]

the improved water textures look AWESOME but i can't seem to be able to set my water effects to high in the display options so i don't guess i can use them
i've got some meshes downloaded

I couldn't tell you if AEU is here or not, I stumbled across it over at AVSIM...just go over there and search for "AEU" and it'll show up.  Definitely one of my favorites.

i'll definitely try that one too;i've probably already downloaded a few hundred files and most of them i haven't even unzipped yet. seems like i'm spending more time looking for addons than i am

There's a very lovely freeware replacement airport for Nice, France at http://monsite.wanadoo.fr/vf_air/page4.html
There's also tons of freeware scenery for the Tahiti area. Just search this site for Tahiti.

I also found this site. http://walhalla.mine.nu/fs2004/whatsnew.php
Just click on an area and it gives a very comprehensive list of any freeware available for that area.
