This is my airport of choice for MSFS2020. I came across this watching a YouTube video by another Simmer. I purchased and installed this package. WOW, incredible work done to make this airport so much more life like, and real. A must for any Torontonian who fly’s out of this location.
I’m a Torontonian who has CYKZ set as my default fly out airport for MSFS 2020. This upgrade is a must for anyone who fly’s this location, coupled with the scenery upgrades for Toronto, and you get a stunning 100% improvement of your sim experience. Keep these coming Roman.
Your scenery for Canadian Airports is great. I flew out of Buttonville in the old days that rendition is just perfect . Just remember there are other simmers out there and a few Canadians as well , help us out guys, we need your stuff .
Outstanding!
Very nice scenery. Even though the control tower has been closed for a while now and the airport is operating on a MF basis, this upgrade is well worth it. I still prefer operating with a control tower at this airport. The upgraded parking and improved hangers, make this a great scenery package for Toronto. 🙂
