FlightSimStudios Halifax Stanfield Int'l (CYHZ) released

Recommended Posts

I knew it had been in development for quite some time, but to see it released so soon after London (CYXU) is a nice surprise and another early Christmas present.

Also great to see another new airport for P3D.

I'm going to get it on monday.  Looking forward to it.  Often I will fly fictional routes.  So I envision doing things like YHZ-JFK/BOS/

I am going to get it as well, more than happy to support quality developments for P3D. Connects nicely with FlyTampa's YUL and YYZ, too.

Actually AC Express used to operate YHZ-BOS with the Q400. A great fit for the Majestic, especially with the Training version now.

Things are really coming together it seems.

I bought their MSFS version of CYHZ last summer through ORBX Central (Partner) and it is very good. I might decide to buy their P3D version as well since I still use P3D.

I did a double take. I have the mfsg. But the store page on simmarket is gone?!?!?

Fsimstudios did not model the expanded cargo ramp opened this year that is a little disappointing.

I was about to ask about the new cargo ramp.

Since I mainly fly cargo planes, my hopes were high for this airport. But now I think I will pass on this airport.

Thanks for giving this information

Halifax Stanfield certainly isn't new to P3D.  It is the base airport for Simaddons, a Swiss company that has replicated numerous Canadian airports and continues to grow.  It also has the same lineup for MSFS.  the Halifax airport has been around for over 6 + years and has undergone many changes in runway lengths and buildings being added, plus sloped runways which arrived with P3Dv5. There is a staff member of the CYHZ airport who supplies all the changes made to the airport before they are built. Simaddons provides these changes quite often and at no charge.

I have bought from Simaddons before.  Not even close in quality to Fsimstudios.  They (Simaddons) were cartoony to me.  I also found them quite pricey for what you get.  Just my too cents.

I also have simaddons, sadly their yhz is no longer updated for v4 so is quite out of date. FSS quality is far superior.

They have an active discord if you use that system. I also don’t visit Facebook.

Well Dan it appears that you are out of date, not Simaddons.  We are now at P3DV5.3 and Simaddons is compatible with it.  I don't mind someone coming out and saying they have put out a product but when they claim it is a first for P3D that's plain BS.  There has been a great deal of work put into Simaddons P3D version over the many years that P3DV4 has become redundant.  Very few companies are still putting out anything for P3DV4.

On top of that FlightSim Studios failed to add the cargo hangers which were built in 2019-2021. The main hanger is a 62,000-square-foot facility on 25 acres of previously vacant land and flanked it with a new apron with eight aircraft parking positions dedicated to cargo handling. It also designated space for cargo logistics on the air side and ground side.

CYYC was redone for P3DV5 (in particular its new ultra-long runway) and I helped in the production of CYMM, which is so perfect as to model the 100 odd photos I took.

 

Take a look at  the website : https://www.simaddons.com/pages/simaddons_preview1.htm

Hi there, great to see another aviation fan in my neck of the woods!  

I was emailing Ralph just recently about his YHZ and asked if it would be updated for v4 but he said development had stopped for v4 and the focus was v5 and MSFS. That's why I mentioned that it was no longer updated for v4.  I've tried v5.x a few times but I find it unstable and buggy so I am sticking with v4 at this point.  Perhaps 5.3 is better?  v4.5 continues to be a rock star and solid.  MSFS is not on my horizon at this point but I hear the simaddons scenery works well with it.

I have no doubt that a lot of work was put in by Ralph and others for the simaddons sceneries.  I have the entire collection and have enjoyed the Atlantic Airport tour as well as some Ottawa, Winnipeg and west coast scenery.  I wish YMM was v4 compatible but there is no word on that.  

So I stand by my statement that I find FSS quality is better for v4.  I've had no luck with v5 and MSFS is uninstalled so I can't compare.

All the best,

Dan

It is a shame that the cargo area wasn't modelled.  Hopefully FSS updates it down the road?
