FSX Scenery

There are many ways to expand and enhance your version of Microsoft Flight Simulator X (or as it's known within the industry, FSX), and adding scenery enhancements is just one of them.

Image shows a demonstration of the global scenery add-on, FreeMesh X once installed.

Some of the scenery packages we have here cover small airfields to large international airports such as London Heathrow (LHR) or Los Angeles International (LAX). These larger international airports are already included in the default FSX scenery, but developers have created more detailed, better resolution versions for you to download free of charge.

Some of the add-ons included within our scenery section for FSX are included in this list:

Replacement airports
3D objects
Scenery design software
Global mesh and terrain packages
Environment upgrades
Local town scenery and partial area scenery downloads

This isn't the extensive list of what's available within our download sections, but it gives you a good idea of what's available. The best way to find what you're looking for is by using the search function. Or, if you're simply browsing; you can find each add-on in separate boxes below, with 25 downloads per page and making use of the page navigation links to browse through each of the pages.

All add-ons listed here are compatible with all versions of FSX including the Steam Edition and Prepar3D (P3D) - all versions including the latest P3Dv4 and P3Dv5.
