Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International
Airport is the largest and busiest in Canada. It serves
the city of Toronto, Ontario, and its metropolitan
area. CYYZ is also Canada’s main international gateway
offering nonstop flights to every continent. CYYZ is
Air Canada’s home and main hub. Canada’s flag carrier
offers service from Toronto to almost every major city
in Canada and the US. It also serves every major city
Latin America, Europe and Southeast Asia. CYYZ also
welcomes most major airlines from countries around the
world.
Toronto – Pearson, as it is best known,
has undergone a complete transformation over the last
decade. From the complete renovation of terminal 3 to
the entrance in operation of the brand new Terminal 1
still under construction, CYYZ has most definitely been
updated for the 21st century. The interior
passenger areas have been designed to offer ample room
and plenty of natural light while the exterior reflects
the modern qualities and comforts of the facilities.
There can be no doubt that CYYZ’s new terminal 1 is
amongst the most passenger friendly and esthetically
pleasing facilities of its kind anywhere in the world.
Our CYYZ, Toronto – Pearson International
Airport scenery is the most current, detailed and
complete rendition of this important facility for the
Microsoft Flight Simulator. As usual, we offer it in
two individually developed and formatted versions, one
for FS2004 and another for FSX. The scenery includes
detailed models of the two terminals in operation today.
We also rendered the hotel located at terminal 3 and
the people mover connecting the two terminals. The air
traffic control tower and all maintenance, cargo and
general aviation facilities are also included. As
usual, we peeked a few months into the future and
included terminal 1’s third pier currently under
construction. Texturing of the most visible portions of
all structures was matched as closely as possible to
real life in order to convey the actual look and feel of
the airport. Our texturing technique enables us to
optimize the image resolution while minimizing the
number of texture files needed thus optimizing the
sceneries performance.
In our scenery, each runway is
accurately located. The latitude-longitude coordinates
of each runway threshold matches -within on ten
thousands of one degree- the values obtained from
publically available official sources. Each runway is
also equipped with a full set of guidance lights and
radio-aid antennas for the most realistic approaches
possible under instrument flight conditions. For the
same reason we have included realistic ground textures
depicting seasonal changes for the area in the immediate
vicinity of the airport. The ground textures were
fitted to match the accurately located runways and
colored to match the palette of the surrounding terrain
as closely as possible. The taxiway complex was then
laid out to match the underlying ground textures. Taxiway signs were relocated or
added to match the taxiways and facilitate taxiing in
the simulator environment. Animated hold-short lights
were added at every taxiway/runway intersection.
Finally, we customized the AI traffic
mapping file to fit real operations at CYYZ,
particularly airline gate and cargo parking spot
location and orientation. Parking spots were customized
to fit various aircraft models and sizes according to
the most commonly used equipment for each airline and
each gate. Each gate is accurately laid out and
numbered. A static set of service vehicles and a
parking alignment aid fixture was added to each airline
gate.
Please notice that, due to its evolving
status, the passenger facilities located south of
terminal 1 were omitted. We plan to update our scenery
as this area is re-developed and a more permanent layout
becomes available.
Scenery Features:
-
Custom-made, optimized Gmax models of the three
terminals, air traffic control tower, and all
aircraft maintenance cargo and general aviation
facilities
-
Custom-made, optimized
textures for all Gmax generated buildings. In
the FSX version, reflective effects were used in the
textures of all major buildings.
-
Custom-made,
high-resolution photo real ground textures in and
around the airport depicting seasonal changes
-
Accurate runway and
taxiway layouts, including detailed markings and
signs
-
Custom-made, basic AI mapping

assignments*
* AI
parking spots were fitted to accommodate specific
aircraft models (including default MSFS aircraft) and we
cannot guarantee that they will accommodate your
favorite AI models. Customization and tweaking of
the AI mapping file will most likely be necessary.
Most gates were assigned to airlines operating at CYYZ
in the most accurate configuration possible based on
information available to the public. Parking spot
specs and gate assignments are available in the enclosed
documentation.
Compatibility:
FS9
(FS2004) and Windows XP or Windows Vista
FSX and
Windows XP or Windows Vista
IMPORTANT NOTE: The FSX version is not
compatible with the default animated aircraft service
vehicles. Gate configuration is depicted
accurately. In most cases, the available space
around the parked aircraft cannot accommodate the
default vehicles. An alternate set of static vehicles is
provided.
Availability:
Available Now.
Cost:
US$ 15.00 for each
