Really?? Someone should really tell ORBX that their web site has been compromised. That is where I downloaded it. If not ORBX then whose is it??

referral to site "fullterrain.comm/freeware.html" select "freeware" ORBX Simulations.

top row, right side of FTX Freeware page is shown "USPortland" and identified as freeware Orbx NA scenery.

When downloaded and installed all references were ORBX

That is scenery enhancement for the downtown area of Portland. It adds nothing to KPDX airport. Any enhancements to KPDX airport are included in the FTX-PNW payware scenery.

If you really want to try their scenery, download the Pacific Northwest Demo, under Demos. It covers the Olympic Peninsula and includes the payware quality Bowerman airport which is fantastic.

To all of you who responded the my gaff with the Orbx scenery, THANK YOU. At your suggestion I downloaded all 649 MB of the PNW demo. This will take weeks to explore and, you all are right, it is fantastic. Thanks again for all your help to a screen shot newbie

Hhmmm,strange,how high is your scenery complexity setting?
Or is there absolutely nothing?not even black spots where the buildings are?

Nothing? are you only seeing the default scenery?

From the free KHQM product description-"Standalone version only for customer with the full payware FTX-PNW region."

So don't know if it will work by itself. Has it been added to the FSX 'Scenery Library'?

It is included in the Pacific Northwest Demo.
