Now that my CYYJ Victoria is released, I'm once again looking for feedback on what airport to do next. Please let me know if you are aware of other developers working on Canadian airports, what is expected to release soon, what is missing, and cast your vote for what you would like to see next. I Would like to identify airport targets that would be in demand, that are either not done or being worked on by anyone else, or exists in much inferior quality - and definitely not anything that's already available on MSFS Marketplace. I prefer International/Regional airports that have jetways and can accept at least smaller airliners like 737 or ATR42 etc. Let me know what you think...

How about Yellowknife (CYZF) ?

Sault Ste. Marie (CYAM) is one I'd love to see, though I don't believe it has any jetways but it certainly can accept smaller airliners. One currently exists but the quality is pretty bad.

How about something from the rock? Either Torbay or Gander perhaps?

For the first time in my flight simulation history we are nearing a point in MSFS when nearly all the main Canadian airports have a pay ware release, I am nearly shocked. Victoria, Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg (coming soon), Thunder Bay (not a bad rendition by Sim Addons), London, Waterloo, Toronto, Kingston (again not a bad offering by Sim Addons), Ottawa, Montreal (incoming from FT and another developer I cannot recall now) Quebec City (excellent freeware available), Moncton, and Halifax -- along with a good number of smaller airfields. 

I agree SSM is an interesting choice there is also Regina and Saskatoon that have pretty poor renditions done by the MSFScenery people. Good renditions of those would certainly be welcome. Yellowknife is also a good option, such a key northern gateway. There is also Sudbury which is another key Northern gateway that has never been done.

Scratching my head...

 

Regina, Saskatoon and Hamilton are the three that come to mind for me.  Whitehorse could be another.   Competition would be Simaddons at all four (I think, not sure about Regina)…in my mind I would not hesitate to purchase any of those from you over the Simaddons versions.  There’s a half decent Yellowknife already available.

Another option that I don’t think has any competition is Abbotsford.

Thanks for the opportunity to provide input and congrats on the release of YYJ, it’s a really well done airport.

Windsor CYQG

Many commercial flights, two flight schools (one a vibrant flying club). Cargo, AAR maintenance facility, border city, huge, brand new FBO. Lots of private traffic as well. 

I'm voting for Hamilton.

Regina and Saskatoon vote here

 

 

I thought Windsor was being done by FSimStudios? If not then that is a great choice as well. I have Hamilton's rendition by Sim Addons is actually not that bad, I do not know if I would rebuy it. I have not been to that airport for a few years so maybe things have changed.

The Simaddons Hamilton includes a fictional upgrade to the terminal that was proposed years ago but never materialized.

I would buy Abbotsford but I'm not sure if it's a very popular airport and whether the time put in to make it would result in worthwhile sales. But if somebody did a good version of Abbotsford, it's an airport that I would buy.

You’re right, although the LCC’s have resulted in an increase in flights there I think it would well trail Saskatoon, Regina, Hamilton for commercial movements.  

Abbotsford x1 

Whitehorse vote here.
