For Aurora, some of the AI aircraft are FSX default, but some are from my AI collection for FS9. They work very well in FSX as AI aircraft. You'll need to visit my website and download the two collections, jl_ai_1.zip and jl_ai_2.zip Install as instructed only remember that in FSX, the aircraft goes in the SimObjects/Airplanes folder.

Greater Kankakee uses only default FSX AI aircraft.

The ES Scenery object libraries do work excellent in FSX. Put them in the Addon Scenery folder under EZ Scenery Library Objects of whatever.

INSTALLATION:

If your file tree is setup as follows: Program Files/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery. Just unzip karr.zip and kikk.zip to the drive where FSX is installed. (In most cases it would probably be C:). The files will automatically go to the proper folder. Then you can activate the sceneries as you normally would. Otherwise, unzip to a temporary folder and place the scenery in the FSX/Addon Scenery folder manually and activate the sceneries as usual.

ABOUT THE SCENERY:

For no particular reason, I wanted to create some scenery for FSX. I admit I didn't like FSX in the beginning and I still prefer working with FS9, but since FSX is on my system also, I thought I'd try an airport or two. I have previously created scenery for FSX. I designed Meigs Field. Whats a flight simulator without the good old Meigs Field? I also did Yuma and Oroville and my home airport, Linden. However, these airports were designed for FS9 and I just adapted them for FSX. The two airports here were design specifically for FSX. I hope you enjoy them.

THANKS TO:

All the Flight Simmers without whom these designs would be pointless.

This scenery is freeware.
