pilot with thousands of hours flying in southwestern British Columbia I
must express my complete satisfaction with Vancouver+. I would
recommend this product to anyone who enjoys VFR flying in Microsoft
Flight Simulator. The level of detail and sense of immersion is
second
only to the real flying I do in this part of the world. Thank
you." |

CYVR Building Fix for
FSX
cyvr_bfix.zip
FSX
|
Microsoft has done a
fantastic job in FSX of improving CYVR in both accuracy and detail.
Unfortunately it looks like an airphoto showing a large black area at
the northwest corner of the terminal area was misinterpreted as a
building. In reality this was an area of pre-load fill covered with a
black tarp. It is now removed. This file excludes that non-existant
building. |

gmax objects
for designers
FS9
ve4_r12.zip
object libraries
for designers using Rwy12
FS9
|
Simple
gmax objects which may serve as
starting points for other designers. You
will need to have the gmax FS2004 gamepack installed to modify these,
and have
a basic knowledge of gmax. Placement of
the objects requires knowledge of XML.Objects:
boats, boat cradle, fences, intercity bus, park benches, information
kiosk,
marine lights, a variety of light poles, school bus, security booth
with
transparent windows, a portable building with deck and coke machine, a
tree
planter and a simple zodiac water craft. Click here
or on the image for a full
description. These objects were created for vicenh04 above.
Note: the extended bitmap textures are supplied for use in FS2004; you
will need to make standard bitmap copies for viewing in gmax.
Also available, thanks to Gary Mills: these objects in two object
libraries for Rwy12 users.

Vancouver Object Corrections for Ultimate
Terrain
van_object_corr_ut.zip
Correction of locations for
Vancouver Canada default objects for Ultimate Terrain users
FS9
|
The
default shorelines that come with Microsoft
Flight Simulator 2004 are inaccurately placed.
Consequently roads and other features are misplaced. Ultimate
Terrain from Flight1 Software
corrects this, however the Microsoft default objects are then
misplaced.
This software corrects the Lions Gate Bridge,
Canada Place, Harbour Centre, Burrard Bridge, Science World and BC
Place
Stadium. Further it excludes a number of
generic MS buildings that now appear placed in False Creek. For
developers, the XML code is
included. Click here
or on the image for larger image.
This is vocu.zip at Flightsim. Do not install if you
have purchased Vancouver+.

CAM3 by Bruce Ellison included. All airports have been activated
for AI use. Buildings with road conflicts removed from
CYNJ. Airport features at CYYJ and CYVR modified. Some
Rwy12 objects used, but Rwy12 not necessary. Ultimate Terrain or
similar, and FSGenesis mesh or similar recommended. Do not
install if you have purchased Vancouver+.
