Scenery developer Roman Design who recently specialized in making sceneries located in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), has added to their hangar of available airports for the simulator with the release of Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport (CYKZ). The airport is a popular general aviation (GA) destination for local pilots and is located in Markham, Ontario, Canada.

On the store page, the developer has stated that “It was hand-crafted for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 using (the) latest 3D modelling tools and techniques and custom-made high-resolution PBR materials.”

Roman Design’s rendition of the airports contains an array of features to bring the busting GA airport to life in the simulator. Some exciting features from the highly detailed feature list provided include Interior modelling of hangars, custom night lighting, high-resolution PBR materials, and much more. The full feature list can be seen below.

• Custom high-resolution PBR materials
• Multiple hand-crafted airport buildings and hangars
• Two manned towers with interior modelling
• Open hangar (Ramp 1 spot) with interior modelling for a small to medium GA aircraft (prop/turboprop)
• Open hangar (S Ramp 1 spot) with interior modelling for a medium to large GA aircraft (turboprop/business jet)
• Multiple custom start parking spots on several aprons and inside two open hangars
• Custom runways and taxiways network rebuilt from the ground up, with all markings and features of the airport true to life and charts. Runway lines do not cross another runway or taxiways now
• Manually done taxiway night lighting that eliminates virtually all on-pavement raised lights, to the degree possible in SDK.
• Remade taxiway signs as close to life as possible
• Exact PAPI/VASI light placement and slopes
• Customized apron textures and terrain features
• Parallax windows with reflective glass and night lighting, based on several custom 3D room interior renderings
• Hand-modelled ultra-detailed airport beacon on the tower’s roof
• Multiple signs with emulated fluorescent night backlighting, 3D modelled letter-shaped signs and other custom signage throughout the airport
• TTC and Go buses around the airport area
• Custom aprons and aircraft parking
• Custom night lighting throughout the airport, including hangar exterior and interior lights
• Parked cars, airport vehicles, full perimeter fencing, vegetation and other random objects added at correct spots for more realism
• Helipad with static helicopter models
• Several animated flags that respond to wind direction
• Functional Tower ATC (at the current Traffic radio frequency) for previously unavailable dynamic taxi instructions and runway selection
• Tall autogen office building close to the approach path replaced with a more suitable two-story office building

The developer ended off the announcement stating, “if you have previously installed Roman Design Toronto pack, please update it with the upcoming latest version. You must remove the old version to avoid object duplication.”

CYKZ is available from Roman Design’s Store for a price of $15.00 CAD.
