August 26, 201510 yr Excellent screen shots. Open LC Alaska/Canada, coupled with Vector, makes this, a 'no contest win' over UTX. To coin a phrase from the incomparable MC Hammer, "Can't Touch This!" I am downloading it now, and am a little excited to try it out in P3Dv2.5.

August 26, 201510 yr While many of us yanks probably don't care much about this release, maybe it'll at least improve the visuals on Atlantic crossings (Gander, Newfoundland, etc.)... Greg Montey "Because with great power, comes great responsitriligence..."
August 26, 201510 yr Its only $15 USD, no brainer. Atlantic crossings for sure and if you really want an amazing flight try a UPS freighter in the PMDG777 (or 47, MD11) from PANC to KONT. One of the most beautiful flights down the coast with a wickedly challenging STAR on arrival at Ontario (Ziggy 5). Mark CYYZ
August 26, 201510 yr Well, for me this was the scenery I was waiting for for many years, and ORBX really delivered. I did a flight from CYUL to CYYC in P3D 2.5 and it simply looks fantastic. Finally the prairies look like they are supposed to. The same holds true for Atlantic Canada. Great job, thanks a lot for this gem. Peter
August 26, 201510 yr Is there a good payware CYYC available? I recall a developer did YYC but requires you to buy another scenery making the package very expensive.

Found this freeware one posted over on the Orbx forum... http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/79217-canada-scenery-cyyc-revised-airport/ I guess this is what you were thinking about for the payware. Pretty steep if you want it for both FSX and P3D. http://www.simaddons.com/pages/simaddons_purchase1.htm Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane.

Pretty steep if you want it for both FSX and P3D. http://www.simaddons.com/pages/simaddons_purchase1.htm Tough to fly in and out of an airport that has default buildings, the great free and pay scenery has spoiled me. Thank you for the link guess I have to make due. Cannot afford the simaddon packages, there are 4 airports I'd like but it's all expensive. yyc, yeg, yxs, ywg and then you have to add more on because of the required base pack. And for p3d you need the full packages you cannot buy separately. If I ever move over to p3d I'd have to buy the package on top of the fsx.
August 27, 201510 yr Commercial Member I was very surprised to see Yellowknife updated and with people flow. Wonder what other airports they updated for this package.

August 27, 201510 yr If I have UTX USA v2 but want this for Canada and Alaska, do I install normally or would I need to do something special? I don't want to override the UTX for the continental USA. This land class stuff has always confused me for some reason. I Also use FTX Global.

August 27, 201510 yr Thanks, this sounds good...for $15 seems like a no brainier. Cheers, Pete Pete Solov - Lake in the Hills 3CK and Schaumburg Regional 06CProud AOPA Member - PPL 2001Real World Piper Cherokee Pilot
August 27, 201510 yr I installed the LC_ yet I cannot see any entry in my scenery library for it Where should it be? up top (1,2,3...) or near the middle or bottom? There is no entry in my "Programs and Features" list where you go to uninstall things Moncton NB (CYQM) looks poor Is this it? > \Prepar3D v2\ORBX\FTX_OLC\OLC_NA2
August 27, 201510 yr Commercial Member Anyone found any updated airports yet? Yellowknife is updated with people flow and objects and wondered if any other airports were?

There is no uninstall and the entry should be just above the Global and Vector entries in the cfg. You need to run the ORBX central and select the region or hybrid or else it will give you random tiles...which is what happened to me. Mark CYYZ
