I think the simple answer to this is, If it is an actual airport... then it's in FSX. Was there one in specific you were looking for?

Try Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan, or Khandahar (which was a civil airport, built by the United States in the early 60's).

Or Balad Airbase in Iraq.

Many of the airports used for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan are in FS-X. However, many have had their identifiers changed (Baghdad for example went from ORBS to ORBI. Though I'm not sure if it was corrected for FS-X.) I don't believe many of them have parking spots or are accurate in any way. There are several AFCADs and Scenery downloads that you can make it more realistic, but they're not 100% and will not be made so to protect the troops.

so there are no FSX default military airport sceneries?

What do you mean by Default? There is default untouched FSX scenery and there is default modified scenery using only the FSX stock objects for placments.

There are plenty of default untouched ones in FSX just as there are in FS9 but all are VERY basic and most have no AI parking. But there are plenty by 3rd party developers both freeware and payware.
As it happens Team SDB creates military scenery complete with AI and it's available at www.skysim.co.uk (http://www.skysim.co.uk) :)

Jim Cook did some US military scenery, you can find his work at avsim. His afcads are FSX and accurate, plus he used the default FSX objects for placments. Try a few you'll see they love FSX and easy on frames. His MUGM NAS and KECG USCG CGAS are great.

NC,

Look for mcdmil.zip and mcdfsxiraq.zip by Michael Carr available at AVSIM.

To anybody interested in adding some military scenery to FSX get Desert_Storm_AB.zip, Israeli_AB_Pkg.zip and AlKharj_FSX_Scenery.zip by Tom Stovall available at SOH. Those files will add scenery and appropriate AI aircraft in several areas of conflict in the Middle East.

When I was in Khandahar (JAN 02).....one of the teams built the best latrine on the whole base. You could sit down in relative privacy, cleanliness, and comfort...without the smell of burning diesel and s**t.

You had to make an appointment ahead of time. We timed our whole battle rhythm around it.

Nowhere on that scenery do I see that prime piece of real estate!

Sure, got the F-16's....don't have the important stuff!!
