Having flown into Buttonville many times in real life the realism is excellent and it fits seamlessly with Roman Design’s Toronto.

Excellent work, I have been flying out of CYKZ in real life, I have never seen such an accurate rendition of the airport, the level of details is amazing, great artistic and modelling work, you can see Roman out close attention to details up to the furniture and maps on the wall at the Canadian Flyers flying school, all this with minimal to non impact on FPS, especially when you fly VR that every frame counts, Well done Roman, keep up the good work

Very nice airport which I visited in the 90’s, so it does look a little different now. Good attention to detail, but I hope that some extra work could be done on the GA hangar complex away from the main apron. A few more static aircraft parked up, and perhaps an open hangar or two.
Really enjoyed flying from and to here.

OG Buttonville textures (pre-Toronto Airways) are super cool. I can smell the Shopsy’s smoked meat from 50′ AGL.
