Don Grovestine has released his freeware CYYJ (2008) airport for Flight Simulator X and Flight Simulator 2004.
CYYJ (2008) is a Microsoft Flight Simulator FS9 and FSX add-on covering the Victoria, British Columbia, Canada international airport and surrounding area. It is compatible with UTX – Canada (FSX), with UT Canada/Alaska and several other FS9 add-ons including Victoria+, and VIVA Base, but none are required. CYYJ (2008) is provided in a single load module with installer.
CYYJ (2008) features
- An airport definition (AFCAD file) based on high-resolution aerial photos that:
- accurately places all runways and taxiways
- provides realistic taxiway and apron markings
- eliminates the rounded FS9-generated taxiway/runway intersection fillets and inserts triangular turning “gussets” where the latter exist at the real CYYJ, and
- specifies representative taxiway, runway and approach lighting
- A terminal building that, from only a short distance, could be mistaken for the real thing and about sixty other very detailed buildings – all modeled with GMax and “painted” with hand-drawn textures
- realistic terrain profiles at both ends of Runway 09/27 and at the approach end of Runway 13 (that were removed by the FS9 default flatten)
- Taxiway and apron signage accurate as to both position and content
- fencing from the fire station in West Camp, past the terminal and around to the east end of Runway 09/27 and
- drive-through” parking for airlines at the terminal and for GA throughout East Camp and West Camp (if your AI includes ACA, JZA, WJA, QXE and/or PCO, the aircraft will take their usual positions around the main terminal).
CYYJ (2008) is available for download from both Avsim.com and Flightsim.com. Please check the Status Page for known issues, patches and update information.
