Waterloo International Airport (CYKF) is a regional airport in Ontario, Canada, serving Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas. It features a new terminal, two runways, and daily domestic flights including Flair Airlines, Westjet and Sunwing. The airport is also home to the Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre. Over the last few years, the airport has undergone many expansions which is now a growing hub for general aviation, cargo, and commercial travel. CYKF is an alternative to Toronto Pearson for Southwestern Ontario travelers.
A good effort by the developers, unfortunately the scenery suffers from some basic mistakes/errors and bad design choices that need to be corrected:
- The approach lights for RWY26 are incorrect and mostly missing. It needs the correct type of approach lights and the blast fence removed.
- There are countless antennas missing: Localiser antenna is not present, instead a blast fence was placed there.
Glideslope antenna is missing
Meteo station antennas all missing
Tower with airport beacon and its support shed are missing
- A select few service buildings are missing. No drama but some generic objects should be placed there.
- And one more small thing that can easily be avoided, the low-poly default cars with blurry textures should not be used airside where they can be seen from an aircraft parking or taxiing. Those are fine to use on car parks obviously, but airside they just look bad.
Other than that, good buildings and textures! I feel the night lighting is a bit washed out for the flood lights and very generic looking for most buildings. Some refinement would make the night scene look more realistic.
Hope the devs will fix the approach lights and missing antennas very soon. The airport would certainly have 4 stars if those were fixed.
