New Release CYOW Ottawa International Airport is available

I know this wasn't fun for anyone myself included, but one of the reasons I put the first link to Orbx for you was to not only describe the problem graphically but to also demonstrate the response that happened when this was very tactfully presented.  About 6 months later (14h ago!) Misha responded that he would try to fix it in a couple weeks (in the 2nd linked thread), after which I referred him to your expertise in the resolution. 

Again, thank you for your persistence despite the unpleasantness.

Cheers

Roman I appreciate your freeware work and after this have just purchased this scenery.  Thank you for your diligence in resolving this issue, I can only hope more developers do likewise.

You're welcome. And thank you for bringing this issue to my attention, despite the unpleasantness 🙂

Everyone is better off with things working properly. Let's hope that either Asobo fixes the bug or all developers learn to work around it.

 [UPDATE RELEASE v1.2] 

I’ve just released an update, including these new features:

• Ottawa Flying Club - detailed building models, including 2 open hangars with starting points
• “Ornge” medical hangar and area
• Updated signs and taxiway lighting
• Full fencing around the airport for increased realism
• Bridge over the highway that you can taxi on (a bit bumpy, so go slow)
• Express Air hangar
• Updated OFC starting points, run up area
• Deicing pad update with glowing matrix displays and 3 new buildings
• Sander Geophysics building
• Several other new buildings around the airport
• 2 Spherical radar structures at the edges of the airport
• Added ILS antenna with antenna building, DME antenna, several antenna masts
• Redefined ILS to work with aircrafts that support automated tuning, placed ILS and DME locations precisely at their real world visual coordinates
• Several new roadside lighted advertising billboards at their true locations (see if you can spot an Easter Egg)
• Fixed scaling problem with the steel bird sculptures appearing too near before this update
• Planted/extended some forest to mask unfixable ugly aerial photo edges near runway ends
• Many additional small adjustments in object placement, aprons, painted lines, parking areas, models etc.

 

I’m sure I forgot something, there is too much to list. Here are some screenshots highlighting the new features:

If you already bought this scenery on my website, then to update, log in and go to “My orders”.

OFC is the Ottawa Flying Club 🙂

Thanks for this!

I landed on Runway 32, as I was rolling on down I hit something that sent me up into the air, it was dark so I can't really say where it was on the runway, or if it was just a glitch or not with the sim. I'll try another landing tomorrow, as it's late now.

Couple images I took, unrelated to the bump.

That sounds like you're suffering from a known issue that can happen in the runways in a photogrammetry areas. That's not connected to my scenery or the update actually. see this topic: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/runway-tears-terrain-issues-in-photogrammetry-areas/324479 I have one other person having this issue, and you may also have it in default CYOW. Maybe try deleting and clearing your cache, disabling photogrammetry, reloading, and then enabling it again. Sometimes MSFS has those misaligned terrain issues. See the topic.

Seeing how beautiful you did on this and your other sceneries I bet you could do WONDERS for CYQG Roman 🙂 🙂. Just sayin........

I agree. There is a really good YQG On flight sim.to FYI.

I have the same problem as mentioned above with runway tearing. It did happen in the default airport so understand it’s not your scenery causing problems. 
 

Wondering if anyone has any ideas on solutions?

Haven't posted in years, but speaking as a local, this scenery is VERY well done. Awesome job, glad to see Ottawa get some love.

Not that I know of. Look at the topic, watch there for any fixes reported. This can happen randomly everywhere, where the airport is in a photogrammetry region. But it only happens to some rare people. Most are just fine.

Thanks. I'm taking requests and creating a list to consider when I get to that...

[LesOReilly 176]

it was posted in a couple of Facebook groups including the OFC group and another local area flying groups :)...

Couple asked about if CYRP could be done :)....  One thing about Ottawa it is pretty small yet we have 4 really close airports with CYOW, CYRP, CYND and CYRO... Then there is Arnprior just a smidge away at 26 NM....

I loved seeing it so well done... 🙂
