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.

This is fantastic! Sure makes flying out of Buttonviille authentic!

Looks pretty good to me but as I’m on a 780 GFX card still I’m sure it will look a lot better still for those with better hardware. It’s FPS friendly though so that’s important to me just as much as having lots of visual features so I tend to pick my airports based on a certain performance expectation also and this one has certainly met that expectation and the price is right.
