Hawaiian Airports Parts 1, 2, and 3 Freeware

I have all Orbx scenery, (Global Base, Vector, Open LC), REX textures (airport ground/water/sky/clouds) for this region with no issues that I'm aware of.
I do not have any Orbx freeware airports in FSX. I also do not have any mesh addons in FSX.
I have visited all of the airports in the package, which is all I have installed (manually). The effects and AI are part of these airports.
Perhaps some 'other' freeware which complements this package (Hawaii photoreal, mesh, etc.) may not play nice with Orbx ? - I have none in the Hawaii area, so don't know.
Also, ensure this Hawaii scenery is above everything Orbx in the scenery library order. :encouragement:

The dolphins over at Port Allen (PAK) are also great fun to watch, ..... and that's just the 'tip of the iceberg'.
 
Yes there is some conflicts with George Keogh's airports and ORBX freeware airport pack. You need to locate and disable 27 files. This is the way I do it, with a "disabled" folder inside the "FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS" folder:

Thanks for that vonstroheim. That looks to be a big help. :encouragement: :encouragement:

Currently adding fuel injection, GPS and a few other mods to my newest acquisition, then will be back and flying here.
