NOTE! The list has more pages/sheets

This list is now an online google sheet where you can be invited to contribute. I will need a lot of help keeping this up so send me a PM for the invite link if interested. 

If you want to participate then you agree to follow these rules:

You do

• follow this category and hopefully the other freeware lists as well
• add scenery as soon as someone posts a suggestion
• either test the scenery, can trust the poster or already know of it - to confirm its quality

You do NOT

• change the structure of the list!
• delete anything!
• Add random low quality scenery!
• Give anyone else access to the google sheet!

For nice ZL16 only tiles of most of Europe and several other places check out Zonephotos

For me one of the best freeware is EDDK - Cologne

Amazing 3D Building, with amazing ground textures, gates and more!

The inevitable airports from MisterX6:

FSFO, KPHX, KPDX, KCUB, KSAN, KLAX, KAVX, KBOS, PAJN and KEYQ

Sensational quality and detailing in every airport that you can't afford to miss out on.

Haven't seen these on OrbX... do they have more? That ENHA scenery is fantastic by the way. Regular GAroute for me is ENJB to ENHA via ENKJ.

I meant freeware. They have 7 more paywares.  EDIT: It said I owned every scenery in Europe before I added the two Norewgian airports.

KTPA by Vertical809 is a fine airport. I like to fly in and out of it from time to time. Very well done for a freeware airport.

Oh I thought you where talking about all the x plane products from orbx, but the freeware r amazing indeed

[cdawg9999 1]

The recently done airports from Canada4Xplane are decent for freeware. Wait for their CYYC which is currently in beta testing. That'll likely be their best airport.

[Poker2012chu 13]

Alright, I am going to have to add another one here that was just recently posted on the org in the last few days.

It is T_Fleck's KMSP. It is my understanding that he gave Iced8383 permission to update and upload it to the org. I did a flight there yesterday! Here are a couple more pics of it!

Absolutely amazing for a freeware airport! 10/10 would recommend.

Talking about best freeware sceneries: May I suggest to add Antarctica4XPlane to the list? With its initial release in December 2015, the mesh scenery package, covering the -in the default scenery missing- Antarctic continent, was voted the best scenery of the month. Since then, Antarctica4XPlane received at least annual updates and covers today not only huge parts of Antarctica, but also offers dozens of add-ons, like airfields and research stations.

All downloads links as well as additional information are available von my website.

Great list!

I will add EBBR - amazing scenery

[FlyAgi 29]

If grass strips are appropriate in the list, maybe EDXE Rheine-Eschendorf (Germany, NRW) by Johannes Schuster and Jens Hicken could fit well in there:

I did the X-Plane related stuff for this scenery as well as the orthophoto, if that matters.

KHOU. Excellent but underutilized for some reason.

What it lacks in details, it compensates in the numbers - the scenery pack is really something. Make sure to give i a try

KEWR. Not released too long ago.

That KEWR is just the port outside of KEWR, not the airport itself FYI.
