It takes you to the top of the photo? Where does it end? It goes on and on into other airports. 

All of them takes you to the same page.

Each airport link should have a page with only its screenshots.

Simaddons is an amazing company! 

I've been using Ralphs products for years!

His sales/website is kind of early 2000's but he's a great guy.

It's not the best but you can click on the next to see where the last ends.

They don't seem to have airport by airport page with screen shots of each airports.

If you click on "P3D", you get a list of pictures. Each image contains information about the airport. On the MSFS page, you can click on the name of an airport and it shows you pictures for it.

Simaddons is a one-person company, and I believe Ralph has another job that pays the bills. The market for Canadian airports is much smaller than for US airports; I am very grateful to Ralph for having covered Canada for us flight simmers. For many years, he was more or less the only one who cared about us Canadian simmers 🙂

Those are good addons. especially snow covered textures of the airports are really nice.  I felt he could sell more if it was widely known and marketed well.

 

Edited to add: Mea Culpa. He has bracketed his screenshots page by the name of the pack. I did not notice it earlier.

It's amazing he has done all his Canadian airports for MSFS. While other addons are just trickling in. 16 of em. I wonder if I can buy the whole lot for a discount. 🙂

He has some sale going Cyber Monday. I bought Halifax and Winnipeg that were on 50% sale.

I was a beta tester for Ralph for many years, started with him back when he was working on his first Halifax release for FSX.  I’ve gotten to know Ralph pretty well over the years.  You might be surprised to learn he’s Swiss, but after visiting Nova Scotia became so enamoured with our province and country that he decided to focus his creative talents on our corner of the world.

He always said he saw his customer base as a “club” of sorts.  You’ll see that tight knit  approach apparent in his forums.  His beta team was the same way and I’ve certainly made some long lasting friendships out of my time on the beta team.  This is really a hobby for him so I think he’s happy to keep the customer base/support requests to a reasonable size.

Ralph is a very generous man.  A few years ago he actually sent Christmas gifts (really nice Pilatus t-shirts) to the entire beta testing team, plus our children!  

He has certainly populated a lot of Canadian airports that otherwise would not have seen third party addon attention.

BTW, you'll get a rebate for the MSFS versions if you own any previous versions (back to FSX times). You'll find the links in the Simaddons MSFS subforum. I took advantage of this.

I just bought the Halifax airport and town scenery.  It's on sale for 50% off.  CHF 9.99 which is like $11.  Waiting on the email from them with the download code.

Here it is...for 10 bucks! Love it. I noticed he sells all his stuff in Bundles for P3D 4 and v5. Once he packs his MSFS in Bundles, I'll get them all. Although I don't fly CA that much except for Vancouver and Toronto Pierson.   I can now fly all over with Snow effect. 🙂

Apologies for asking this but you may know the answer.
Do you know if Simaddons are still operating?
I purchased quite a few canadian  airports from them.
Received them ok but since then i have had no response whatsoever to multiple queriies
Neither [email protected] or [email protected] respond.

Think i might be wasting my time as would any other potential purchasere

Dont have any other e mail addresses

Any feedback appreciated

 

Kind regards

I had the same problem when I emailed a couple of months back. No response. I was trying to figure out how to get the discount on Halifax for MSFS since I had the FSX version but since I can't get any response, I haven't purchased Halifax or any of the others because I'm worried I may have issues with the purchasing and downloading of them and may need some support.
