Gorgeous night lighting and reworked runways and taxiways complement the hyper-realistic experience.

Meticulous 3D modeling and innovative features let you start your flight not only at a beautifully detailed International terminal with interior modeling, but also in any of the 7 open hangars, including a military hangar of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 412 Transport Squadron, National Research Council hangar – home of the Canadian research aircraft fleet, Cargo stands, several Business Aviation / FBO stands, and GA stands and hangars.

 

Over 40 buildings were handcrafted, along with multitude of objects and highly accurate ground markings and night lighting, to create a hyper-realistic experience for serious Flight Simulator enthusiasts. Hundreds of objects were placed throughout the airport for a realistic busy airport feel.

Ottawa Flying Club buildings, hangars and area was modeled with direct feedback and media provided by OFC and its members.

  1. Absolutely stunning creation of Ottawa airport with incredible levels of detail. Well worth the price and right up there with FSim Vancouver as the best Canadian airport in MSFS right now. Get this, you won’t be disappointed

  2. Roman Design Ottawa is by far one of the best Canadian Sceneries available. The attention to detail is incredible. I have to say that through no fault of Roman I experienced some tearing issues which is a known issue with Asobo and not his scenery but when I messaged him regarding this I got an immediate reply and assistance! I would highly recommend that anyone interested in flying in Canada and in particular our capital region purchase this scenery and incidentally he also has done some incredible freeware as well!

  3. Roman Design has created an amazingly accurate rendition of the Macdonald-Cartier (CYOW) airport. The attention to detail is exceptional, including a large number of features in and around the airport itself, giving you the feeling when you are flying in or out that you are truly at Ottawa. As a GA flying personally, I really appreciate the work which has gone into the small private pilots’ domain at the northern end of the airport, including flying clubs and other services, but the work on the main buildings in the airport complex is excellent. I highly recommend anyone flying into or from CYOW to add this to your airport inventory.

  4. Ottawa, CYOW is a showpiece airport in MSFS. It is supremely detailed without slowing the game. I enjoy waving flags, custom road signs, a visit to the controllers in the tower and the fantastic hangar door which opens so you can park after shooting an ILS approach. Great stuff.
    The main terminal building is gorgeous especially at night as is the rest of the airport. CYOW is accurately lit without those distracting suspended lights, which I appreciate. All ILS and systems are perfect and runways and taxiways are accurate with lots of active ground vehicles with flashing lights etc.
    Romandesign makes Ottawa a primary and frequent destination when I fly Canada.

  5. What an amazing piece of scenery! The textures, modelling and FPS are top notch from Roman Design. Also please note that this developer fixes problems literally within hours of release and is quick to answer emails and Facebook messages. I am looking forward to purchasing whatever comes next. Thanks Roman!
