Not talking bout KATL. The Atlanta city region. Atlanta is my home and the region is so poorly represented in default FSX as to be almost unrecognizable. Buildings misplaced. Turner field in its 1996 olympic iteration, buildings in wrong places. It just sucks. MS mailed it in.

I had some pretty good freeware for ATL with FS9, but not for FSX. I have FTX/Orbx scenery and am interested to know if there is any other city level scenery that could replace MS's crap, or if I just have to suffer. Also I see GEX North America 2.0 claims updates to many major US sceneries. does it update ATL? Also if so, is it compatible with FTX/Orbx Global base? Orbx hasnt produced any US East Coast major cities so its just global base as possible conflict.

Used to live north of Atlanta in Ellijay, GA, where there's a small airfield, and then moved an hour away from there to Farner, TN. There's a small airport in Copperhill, TN as well.

If so, it might still work in FSX. Try it.

West of Atlanta there is a private field, with 4 runways, surrounded by tall trees, which makes it a challenge to land even GA. I spent a lot of hours around that field in FS98. It was 'Smisson Field', (7GA9). Works in FS9 (with 'issues') but not good. In real life it is 4 miles NE of Whitesburg, GA. Someday someone will make a scenery of good ole Smisson. No nav aids, etc. So even finding it is fun.
