Just a head's up of some excellent freeware scenery for FS2004 and FSX.
ULLI Pulkovo Airport
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulkovo_Airport
It works in FS2004, and FSX with the included update:
http://www.ulll.avsim.su/
You'll see where it says "Download" in English on the page, just go to that, and press download on the first entry again, and you'll get a zip file called "39153-ProjectULLL-B6U.zip".
Start by putting the two files "ULLL" and "ULLL.LC" from the FS2004 part of the zip file into your Addon Scenery directory (even if you are using FSX).
Next, move the FSX files in the addon zip into your ULLL folder within the Addon Scenery directory. Obviously say yes to overwriting when prompted.
Activate ULLL.LC then ULLL within FSX, and you'll have a very high quality international airport in St. Petersburg, Russia, for free!
The airport is in probably one of the best locations in Russia due to the close proximity to more popular Western Europe destinations. It's a very short flight to Helsinki, Finland, and flights are of comfortable distances to Sweden, Poland, Germany, and others as well. I much prefer it over flying out of Moscow due to the distances involved.
Be warned that your airport will likely be very sparse traffic-wise unless you have AI traffic packages for either Pulkovo or Rossiya airlines.
Here's a direct link to the page's screenshot section:

Enjoy, and let me know what you think. I've been using this addon for a while, and find it to be the best area to operate out of Russia.
