CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport 1.20

CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport

1.20 July 27, 2014 Build

Chris K and the ISDG

__________________________________________________________

Preamble:

This is a generally stable build with no library conflicts; and all areas should be drivable and flyable. The ILS may be a fraction off due to repositioning of the runways to their orthophoto corrected locations, and verified with another 3rd party. It is also currently lacking ATC taxi-flow.

However, these omissions are not “showstoppers” per se.

__________________________________________________________

General Features:

- Photorealistic terrain at 30cm/pix resolution as per the USGS

- Proper Taxi Signage (was never there in any previous version of the CYYZ apt.dat it would seem)

- Recent CAP CYYZ Charts (SIDs/STARs/RWY Approaches)

- Repositioned most field objects to match the orthos, accurate within 15 cm +/-

- Fixed runway markings, blastpads, and the like to reflect reality

- Gritty ground and orthophoto texture support

- Replacement Glideslope towers

- Runway Stop Bar / Guard Lighting System (this is for YYZatcboy Joe How’s this for accuracy! )

Each runway entrance is protected by a stop bar consisting of red in-set lights located at all taxi holding positions.

This is the runway warning/occupancy indicator system in-use in Toronto, and will be familiar to most heavy metal pilots.

- Build-out of industrial parks, Eglinton Ave E, Airport Road, Dixie Road, Brittania, Dixon Road, and the Hotel Strip

- Various “Easter Eggs” with more to come in subsequent releases. (See if you can find the Tim Horton’s Coffee Shop!)

Notes on the Taxiways:

There are two versions of the taxiways included in this package.

1. Normal taxiways shown (regular asphalt, visible, drivable)

2. Hidden taxiways (regular asphalt, not shown, but still drivable)

- You can also turn off the taxiways (hide/show) by replacing the “.POL”files located in the “orthophotos/” directory. This will give the same effect as in our CYTZ Package; whereas the taxiways are only drawn as per the ortho, but with visible (XP generated) centre, edge, and-hold-line markings.

- Assuming you have the VRAM to run in extreme (native texture) resolution, you can take advantage of the full photo-realistic ground effect.

- Simply copy the appropriate files form the “/1 Hide Taxiways/” directory into the parent directory and overwrite the existing POLs.

- To restore the regular (visible) taxiways, simply copy the contents of the “/2 Show Taxiways/” into the parent directory, overwriting the POLs.
