Vancouver Airport

[Rolfspan 24]

Hi all,One Airport that I am missing that fits in with the Orbx scenery is Vancouver. I would like to get one and I seem to have read somewhere that Holger had a hand in creating a terrific version. I thought that I would post the request for assistance in locating that airport here, just in case the non-comp clause rears it ugly head in the Orbx forum. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hey, Rolf: Coupla guys that make most excellent sceneries for the area... the first is Don Grovestine, who makes CYYJ(2010) (Avsim Library file # cyyj_505_1.zip) , and actually makes a goodly number of airports arond the NRM area, so search on his name - you will be pleasantly surprised.The second names, are yes - Holger Sandeman and Jon Patch, who together built Vancouver+ - the entire area surround CYYJ - but not the airport. This is well worth the money, and fits right in to the PNW system. (http://secure.simmarket.com/product_info.php?products_id=2476)Lastly comes Nigel Grant, who makes CYVR - Vancouver Intl. - a freeware airport, very nicely done, and fills in the poor default airport so that it too, fits into the OrbX/Vancouver+ sceneries.

I started out with Vancouver + and I am impressed. I till have to read the Manual :( but wow what scenery so far.Thank you for that recommendation.

Did I read that right? Vancouver+ vers3 is the city scenery MINUS the airport? Does it use the ORBX version then?

 

Just wanted to clarify that point? I note the links to the freeware improvements anyway and as it looks a good add-on anyway how is it as a frame rate hog?

 

I love detail but it's frustrating when the detail slows the sim. Once you start moving sliders back you begin to wonder why you paid for the extra detail?
