Personal Comments
 
This is a humble airport but one that deserves to be represented, (especially since I live here 😉), in X-Plane. There are some breath taking mountain and (weather permitting) makes for some excellent VFR flights from or to Port Hardy, Tofino, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay, Campbell River and Port Alberni. Please see my other files for these sceneries.
 
Do not be misled by the tiny size (Less than 50 kb) of these files. This is a LEGO-BRICK scenery and uses the megabytes of art assets  already included in your installation of X-Plane. It will compare favourably, at times better, to other (much larger sized) sceneries of this area and will probably exceed your expectations. I believe that in order to enjoy a flight simulator you shouldn’t need to fill up your computer with gigabytes of data or rely on many third party libraries unless of course you fly exclusively in one small area.
 

Installation:

Put unzipped folder, Canada_BC_CYPW in X-Plane, Custom Scenery folder. Restart X-Plane. If scenery does not show up, make sure that it is above Global airports and any Mesh Scenery you may be using,  in the scenery_packs.ini file. Remember to disable other sceneries of the same airport, if you have any. If the scenery does not look like the pictures, then you must have picked up another scenery in your Custom Scenery folder.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. I upload these sceneries to this site even though they are normally approved and later included in future versions of X-Plane so that users will have a jump start on these airports until they are in fact included in the default X-Plane version. Also, I occasionally update these sceneries and unless the update is big, then I only submit the update on this site. So, if you download any of my Canada_XX_XXXX  or other sceneries and find that they are not different from the default, it is because this scenery has already been approved and included in X-Plane. If you receive any error messages during loading, please update X-Plane to the latest version.
    I would suggest that if you are happy with the scenery in question, you hang on to it regardless of the fact that the present X-Plane version has the identical (approved) scenery because in later X-Plane versions this might be over-written, for better or for worse, by a different approved version.
  2. If you notice trees growing where they shouldn't or other autogen incursions, try disabling your Mesh to see if this is the problem. Please write to me if this happens. This scenery like all the others (I've updated quite a few) should be compatible with HD Mesh V4. 
  3. Do not be misled by the tiny size (Less than 100 kb) of the file. This is a LEGO-BRICK scenery and uses the megabytes of art assets  already included in your installation of X-Plane. It will compare favorably, at times better, to other (much larger sized) sceneries of this area and will probably exceed your expectations. 

Equally Important

Please take time to rate and leave a short comment or constructive criticism so that I'd know I am on the right track with these sceneries. I understand that one normally doesn't return to the download page after you've installed the scenery but try anyway. Comments do motivate scenery designers!

Also report any bugs or problems you come across while using this particular scenery.


Thank You and  Enjoy the scenery!
