Also his paphos International is really well done. I'd say my favs from him are Barbados and Paphos, although FIMP is nice as well, its a bit far from anything for me.

I agree with the idea of searching AVSIM and make sure you look through the files for an idea of what the file actually is. There are a lot of files are there that are listed under FSX scenery but are actually just high end ADE files.

I wish Avsim would stop listing airports that are basically modified ADE's with some native FSX objects added as "scenery". There's been more than one instance when I saw a new 'scenery' file listed as something that I would be interested in, only to do a zip dive on it and see it's an updates ADE with some objects placed.
I agree that other than Max's stuff there isn't a lot to choose from, besides Ant's AU stuff. I'll be honest though, aside from Max's and Ant's stuff, I generally stay away from freeware airports, even back in the FS9 days, there wasn't enough freeware I would actually use due to a lot of it looking like "freeware".
Fortunately for me now in FSX, payware has gotten to the point that most of my favorite airports are finally done by payware developers and I don't really need to rely on freeware or fancy ADE's anymore.

I don't get it?

Umberto meant that FSDT sceneries are 5 mins for the trial versions.

I really don't understand what you are talking about: what, exactly, is wrong with my (obviously lighthearted, and *everybody* got it...) comment ? You already said once "I don't get it" but, it's quite clear that you still are not getting it, even now.
On a thread that is about freeware addons, I replied to a comment of yours (which was obviously meant to be a kind of joke, you even added a smiley face to it), trying to keeping with the spirit, saying it's true our sceneries are freeware, at least for 5 minutes, I really don't see how you could have taken that reply in any other way than a way to continue on the joke *you* started. Instead, you got immediately serious, as if anyone here could have any idea of your financial situation.

You started it, by putting a smiley on it. At least, that was what I've thought, reading your post...
--- Quote ---I thought you were targeting me for not purchasing sceneries.
--- End quote ---
Surely not! I was just trying to point it out that having a Trial it's a great feature, since it allows to have a look at a scenery for free, and by "free" I mean in both ways: free because you don't have to pay any money if you just want to check the scenery, and free because you don't have to register and enter your details, just in order to download the Trial.
This means, you are *free* to download it, decide not to purchase it for ANY reason, without having to explain anything to anyone and in complete privacy.
