Yellowknife Airport (CYZF) FSX/P3D

CYZF is a project that I started almost 2 years ago after seeing another version being scrapped, I initially just wanted to make the more common buildings at the airport but after receiving an email from Skip (Model Designer) and him introducing me to Shane (All round Guru of Virtual Landscaping) we put together SSM and made a full scale project out of it,

It also has a CC-138, of No.440 Transport Squadron RCAF permanently based at the airport for search and rescue missions.

Recommended Software:

This Scenery is designed for FSX and P3D V3.0 it has a dual installer for the airfield and a separated download and installer for the Photo Scenery.  We recommend using both.

This Airport was designed with FTX Global Vector and we recommend a program like this or UTX for coastlines. We have put in our own custom land class so keep this scenery above vector and Orbx products but under the Orbx libraries in your scenery config.

We did not do any local mesh so we did use a great freeware mesh which we recommend:

Recommended good Terrain Mesh for the area: FreeMeshX Global. Link is here.

I have placed some 3d people around the airport to see them install this package in your library: link is here.
