CYZF YELLOWKNIFE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D4-5

This is one fantastic scenery for the price. I was pleasantly surprised..overjoyed actually to see Canadian runway markings. The only other scenery developers I know of that go to this kind of runway detail is Fly Tampa and FSDreamteam. The Iconic Buffalo Hanger is there as well as many other details. I too taxied around enjoying the sights this airport has to offer. I've been waiting for a good Yellowknife depiction for a long time and this more than fills that desire. If you haven't got it, and you fly in Canada, this one is a must have.

The gave it 4 stars as it was a little tricky to install, but having said that, I emailed the developer and received a response in less than 24 hours and it wasn't long after I had it all installed and working just fine. There were a couple minor issues with some distant airport objects..but you wont see them unless you taxi all about the area.

All in all, a fantastic job done by Project Max at an unbelievable low price.. I hope they take on a few other Canadian Cities that have not yet been done.

Ridiculously good scenery for the price--or more than the price. MAX keeps getting better. One of these days we'll be saying, "Ah, I knew them when..."

And what better time to say thank you for supporting P3D.

There is a lot of custom detail, including, of course, the iconic Buffalo hanger. All it needs is a Herman Nelson heater! Plenty of cars and equipment, too. The snow config is super: piles of the stuff, and not all in neat smooth mounds, either. Very realistic. Grey weeds sticking through where it's thinner are a great touch. The pavement is cracked and has puddles, and reflection is used to good effect. I was very impressed. I spent an hour just taxiing around in my Buffalo DC-3 taking in the sights, and it's not a very big airport. The AI traffic was appropriate, too. Lighting is good, and it looks great at night.

Five stars doesn't mean it's FlyTampa quality, by the way, but if we have to compare apples and oranges, we should take into account a lot of things, including price and exceeding expectations by a wide margin. This is not some cheap, carelessly knocked out airport. This is really very nice by any standard, and I'm happy to give it five stars. I would have been glad to get any sort of Yellowknife (as an Ice Pilots NWT fan), but this is a very good little airport on its own if you fancy a NWT destination.

Having said that, I should mention that installation is not exactly a one-click process. In fact, the only clicks are to extract folders and then one to add it from inside P3D. It isn't exactly manual installation (you don't have to look at the scenery.cfg) but it does require attention to detail getting various files (including more than one set of fixes) into the correct places. It probably won't be too hard if you know your way around the P3D folder, but if you've never done this sort of thing before, be aware. Especially since while the instructions do make sense if you already know what you're doing, if you don't and just follow them literally, it's not going to turn out well. If you get in a jam, though, I'm sure the devs would be happy to help, or you could check in with your favorite flight simulation forum, like AVSIM for peer support.

Oh, there's also a click or two on the configurator to get those wonderful snow effects.

There are a couple of minor graphics issues I've written the developer about. Nothing to cause you to hesitate on a purchase though. I imagine they'll get back to me. They clearly put a lot of effort into this one.

A must for Ice Pilots NWT fans, and I can't see anyone who enjoys flying in Canada passing it up. This isn't exactly bush flying. It's a nice flight north from Edmonton and has a First Air terminal. Plenty of appropriate Canadian AI (saw a Canadian North 737: bingo!) Honestly, you won't find better scenery at this price, and you could do worse at twice the price.

Just be careful on those valley runs. Nothing good ever happens in Norman Wells on the show ;-)

Great scenery for a price of 7 euros. Probably the only northern Canadian airport with such a great quality on P3D. They did a very good job on the textures as well. If you purchase the P3D version your are also entitled to an MSFS version of the scenery for free which is a plus.

This Scenery is well worth the 8€, it features nice looking buildings, runway and terrain textures. it also comes with in-built Winter textures that look stunning ! amounts of snow lying around the runways... well, what i expect at an airfield based nearby the polar circle but not what i expected from a 8€ scenery ! it also brings the MSFS scenery for free if you bought the P3D files or reversed
