FSX McMurdo Ice Station Scenery

McMurdo Ice Station scenery refreshes Antarctica’s key fields NZPG, NZIR, and NZWD in Microsoft Flight Simulator X with corrected runway layouts, repositioned lighting, and 10,000‑foot snow and ice strips for rugged operations. Extra atmosphere comes from an observatory complex with heliports, a heliport and crashed aircraft, plus ships, oil rigs, and a marina.

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.

    Can you update this for P3D4, please? Make it compatible with ORBX, if possible.
