Am I supposed to change the xxx to 485? Because there is no 483. And on the second fix, there is no xxx at the bottom of the document to change to 483 & 484. Can someone please tell me what I'm missing?

Help! Using fsx on windows 10. Followed all the instructions. When I try to activate the add-on scenery by adding the area (navigating to FSX/Addon Scenery/St-bart_TFFJ/scenery), it says "no items match your search". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Jason

is it possible to fix the blurriness on the runway?

Oh my god! This scenery is absolutely awesome. Quick note: the scenery does have to be activated manually in the scenery library in order for it to work.

Looks like the real airport with a sloped runway in the correct spot. The hill is in the right place. Cars move on the roadways. MUCH better than the default Microsoft FSX scenery. Followed instructions and it works well.
