I have about half a doze paywayre airports that l enjoy, but also finding out there are some good freeware ones on flightsim.to (Eugene and Medford Oregon to name two).
Below is my logbook entries for airports I’ve visited the past few months.
Any suggested freeware airports?
I love my payware ones (really like Drzewieki - I have their KBFI and KPAE), but not jazzed about paying cold hard cash for airports. So focusing on freeware ones.
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest searching these airports up on Flightsim.to and see what is highly rated and most downloaded. I would help and do that for you however your list is quite long.
Some airports you listed don’t have any scenery available for them that are freeware unfortunately.
The problem is a lot of the airports on flightsim.to are dated (even the highly rated ones) and from reading through the comments you can tell that some have not been updated them, which causes issues. So was looking for more “current” airports from the MSFS community.
But duly noted and a good suggestion. I’ll plow through the search function again, but also would love to hear from the community of airports they think are stable. current and well maintained. I find I have the most luck with airport add-ons when I see them mentioned in recent forum/reddit posts. Hit or miss on older airports.
There’s a very good quality KEUG at flightsim.to and the author has also made a few other nice quality renditions of airports in the region such as Walla Walla, WA, and Redmond, OR.
There’s a lot of airport edits being done on the World Hub. This will at least get rid of the glaring errors and bring airport configurations up to date, but there won’t be any new buildings or 3D objects.
Any Canadian airports made by Mazermart are awesome on Flightsim.to, custom objects, buildings and landmarks. To me, as a Canadian dev aswell, I kind of look up to him as a bit of a god that I aspire to be one day. I haven’t tried all of his or anything but to pick one that I have, Sandspit is a great airport by him.
If you’re not aware of the Scenery Map on flightsim, it would be a great resource (Sceneries / Scenery Map). The cool thing about that map is that as you move in to your desired area, you can single click on an airport and it will show you the last date it was updated.
My advice, as this is what I do, is I search the world hub/marketplace and then I search the forums here next. Almost every add-on airport has a thread here, and you’ll be able to get some accurate feedback.
Mind you I mostly play on XBox so that’s why I use the marketplace, but can do the same for flightsim.to or other sites.
