It's time for the annual balloon festival at Solberg Airport! Come see the hot air balloons and blimps! Also in this scenery are some distinctive landmarks. Located to the northwest is the headquarters for Merck & Co., one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. You can't miss it, the building complex is shaped like a molecular diagram. Just north of this is the headquarters for A.M. Best Company, the largest and longest-established company devoted to issuing in-depth reports and financial strength ratings about insurance organizations.

Buildings were created using Google SketchUp and converted for FSX using ModelConverterX and Library Creator XML by Arno Gerretsen. Static aircraft were converted using Static Aircraft .mdl Maker by Don Grovestine. Hot air balloons are from a library by Seev Kahn, Team Rwy12.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.

  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
