That is a fantastic scenery.

You should add the "Buy me a coffee" button to your download page.

@romandesign Thank you! I have been enjoying v1, so looking forward to the update.

Having played hockey (ice hockey to the uninitiated😉) in Toronto, Scarborough and London, it brings back great memories to see the GTA so well represented.

Canada's Wonderland does bring back less happy memories - went there with my teammates and, after having only ridden the rickety wooden rollercoaster and log ride, I stood over the end of the log ride when the force of the water from it pushed me back so hard I damaged my shoulder muscles and couldn't go on another ride all day!🤕

 

Hoping that someone will fix Niagara Falls as the Bing conversion isn't exactly great. I want to take the A5 through the Falls like it's a flying Maid of the Mist!

What the heII are you talking about? Hehe (those are not "L"s)  Heck...not sure if you can even say the normal hell here?

EDIT:  You can!  What the heck?  H E Double Hockey Sticks is not banned but KRAP is?  What the word not allowed?  (hehe....I really typed in "word not allowed" to save the poor bot for doing it for this old sailor who...coincidentally enough...sometimes cusses like a sailor!) 🙂

I just finished the final version (for now at least) of my GTA Enhancement Pack. Now the whole area should feel much more realistic. I have  imported, edited and color corrected photogrammetry and added many 3D objects for many key areas that are prominent in VFR flying and IFT approaches to Pearson CYYZ and CYTZ. Now the city looks much more convincing..

 

 

This is absolutely fabulous, thank you!

Having lived near Buttonville Airport for 20 years, I really appreciate seeing and experiencing the area again!

One request:  For visual approaches to Buttonville, one of the landmarks is David Dunlap Observatory between Yonge Street and Bayview, just north of 16th Avenue.

It is currently depicted as a white pancake in the scenery... could it be replaced by a more representative structure?   That would be very welcome!

Again, many thanks.

Absolutely stunning, thank you so much for this. What a difference to the GTA this makes.

If I may a humble request. In the screenshots it looks like BMO Field is the old stadium, before the upper deck and roof was added. Is there any way you could use the current model which is in Google Maps to bring the stadium up to date as its a major landmark on the 08 approach into YTZ?
Regardless what you have done so far is incredible and I'm hugely grateful.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'll add it to my list of possible future updates...

Is there a link to download these sceneries without having to join? I'm sick and tired of having to sign up to get what is technically free. Please consider putting these sceneries in the AVSIM library. Thank you.

I just saw today that it has opened, but it's virtually empty. I will see if I can upload there. But signing up is free, and they don't send you spam, so I don't see a problem - they are hosting a large file for free in a modern interface and easy upload. Avsim library interface looks ancient, like it was written back in 1996. I will check it out though.

You should add the "Buy me a coffee" button to your download page.

I do use Google data for the scenery, so I can't monetize it and putting the donation button right on the page may not be a good idea. However here's a suggestion for you, or anyone else wanting to check out my other, unrelated, creative project: I've written a sci-fi book, which is free to download from here: https://progressreport.romandesign.ca/ - and the website does have a "support" tab in the menu if you feel like it.

For people interested in freeware I would highly recommend getting an account on flightsim.to.

It is a very good service and since you sign up you will get notified about updates to your favorite mods.

People need to create an additional account to the stone age AVSIM library as well so I don't see the big deal.

Great site, Well worth the sign up.

LOL.

The AVSIM library needs talented members like you to upload their content.

I took your advice and signed up to flightsim.to

Thank you.


A pilot is always learning and I LOVE to learn.

Hi,

I am from Montréal and i visited Toronto before going to Niagara fall 3 years ago and your work is amazing.

Do you plan to redo or improve Niagara Falls, Marineland, casinos, Whirlpool Aero Car, etc ... it would be a nice plane ride from Toronto

see you
