My scenery library has items which are checked, greyed out, and inaccessible inside the sim. I was told NOT to use "Scenery Config Editor v1.1.9" in P3D v4.5 because they could corrupt the scenery.cfg file even when used with Window's Notepad. How then do I disable these ORBX True Earth sceneries so they don't load in the sim? They're huge (100's of gigabytes). Thank you.

/images/notams/notams22/orbx0602.jpgOrbx has announced that Boise Air Terminal (KBOI) is under development for MSFS 2020. The product page is up with the details but the actual release date has not yet been announced. Boise Air Terminal or Gowen Field, as it is also known, is located in the USA state of Idaho and is a joint civil-military airport. The airport has eight airlines servicing 26 non-stop destinations across the United States including Orbx destinations like San Jose and Burbank. Boise Airport's standout feature is its tall ATC tower which was once the tallest building in the whole state of Idaho, standing at 295 feet. Boise Airport had the longest runway in the United States in 1938, at 8,800 feet. The current passenger terminal opened in 2003. The previous passenger terminal was an aging steel hangar used by Varney Airlines (now United Airlines). As the size of the planes grew over time, the hangar became too small to accommodate the new aircraft. In 1964, United Airlines was the first airline to provide jet service to Boise with its Boeing 727s. As a mixed civil-military airport, you can expect to see more than your usual airline traffic with the 124th Fighter Wing of Idaho National Air Guard operating A-10 Thunderbolt II out of the airport.

/images/notams/notams21/para1221.jpgBuilt in collaboration with aviation YouTuber TrentPalmer. "FreedomFox" started off as a Series 5 Kitfox STi. The teamworked hard to ensure this representation of FreedomFox behaves asTrent says it should, and having tested it himself, Trent's signatureon the dash validates our final product. Also based on a Series 5 Kitfox STi, Fox2 is a //42 projectbuild. We were inspired to create an aircraft that would becompetitive in STOL Drag races, think of Fox2 like a sleeper. It maydisplay a 915iS badge, but it's definitely not factory. It includes anexperimental engine upgrade, additional livery options, and thru ourmod manager, you'll find even more in the future. Use Fox2 as a baseto build your own FreedomFox! Source
