Install OpenSceneryX and point it to your X-Plane main directory. Follow the instructions and OSX will be installed in Custom Scenery.

OSX will sync with it's server and then download 5k+ worth of files. Be patient; it'll take some time.

When that's finished, simply put your EDHE folder in Custom Scenery.

Start X-Plane and access the drop down panel at the top of the screen.
Go to- Location >
Set Planet to Earth
Also in Location >
Select Global Airport

A selection screen will appear. In the box, to the right of Apt: enter EDHE

You'll have other options you can select, such as hangar, ramp or air start. You can also select which runway to use.

I fly local airports or water aerodromes that are within a scenery package, such Final Frontier or Inside Passage. So I downloaded EDHE and tried it out. Pretty cool airport; love the mix of aircraft parked on the grass. The ME and Spit warbirds were neat touches.

Hope this helps.

Thanks almccoyjr, though already tried it with these steps. The place is all over with trees. I dont think that XP have loaded it correct. Something must be wrong on my side, because it works for you, hmmmm.

That is strange.

The only "problem" I encountered with the airport scene is when I start the plane at hanger option, my plane is dissected by a hedge. There really isn't a hanger, but a parking space for the aircraft to sit. When I start on ramp or in the air, I don't have any problems.

Is the scene primary in the CS folder?
