FSX Metz X Scenery

Metz X scenery recreates Metz Airport (3CA7) in California’s Monterey region with custom 3D models, hand-drawn textures, and a precisely aligned satellite ground base for a convincing airfield environment in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It corrects the default runway placement and refines approach terrain near runway 33 with adjusted mesh for more authentic sightlines.

Metz X, Metz X is a comprehensive scenery package for Metz airport (3CA7) in the Monterrey region of California (CA). Includes custom made models with hand-drawn textures inside Flight Simulator, giving you the most realistic version of Metz airport available for FSX today. Also includes a satellite ground image that aligns perfectly with the models, making this scenery very life-like. Due to the inaccurate placement of the airport in the default FSX, the runway has been moved to its correct spot. Accordingly, the terrain mesh has been modified for the approach end of runway 33 so that the hill that juts out isn't as obtrusive and is more like as it is in the real world. By The Airport Guys.

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.
