    CAT4 Qualicum Beach Airport - Image 1

    Description

    Qualicum Beach airport ( IATA : XQU , TC LID : CAT4 ) is located 1.8 nautical miles south of the Town of Qualicum Beach , British Columbia , Canada . 

    Try an early flight at 6:00 AM in the morning from Nanaimo airport , it only takes 15 minutes to Qualicum Beach airport for breakfast at the Final Approach restaurant at the airport . 

    I love that early morning orange light from the sun along the coastline  on the way to Qualicum Beach airport .

    And oh , when landing on runway 29 , if you notice , you'll see a couple of people are riding

    horses early in the morning too , along the airport fence .

    - All buildings at the airport are custom modeled .

    - Custom runway markings , custom signs and apron markings .

    - The weather station at the airport is also modeled .

    - Custom airport fence .

    - Add lots of other models .

    - Add night lighting .

    OK , enough talks . Let's download the file , unrar it , copy the CAT4-Qualicum Beach airport folder into community folder where Flight Simulator 2020 is instaled and start the flight to find out how it looks .

    Credit :

    - Thanks Ken Peters for the photos . Without the photos , the custom models are not possible .

    - And also thanks the airport manager for his kindness allowing Ken Peters to take photos of the airport .

    Hope you enjoy the airport scenery as much as I do .

    Best Regards 

    Minh 


    UPDATE : Version 1.3.0 ( Oct 5th  2023)

    NOTE : You need to install all four of my airports to avoid missing 3D objects .

    They are : CYXH , CYQL , CYCD and CAT4 .

    Enjoy !

    I would love to see your work migrate to 2024. My sim is still buggy as heck so I don't wanna go first, any reports if it works in the new sim?

    Wonderful Scenery, just resent the idea that I'm forced to have all of your scenery installed and active just to enjoy the only airstrip I care to fly to and from... To bad you can't put your objects in a Downloadable Library, as a few others have done.

    Thank you ! Too bad you only like Qualicum beach Airport . I guess you only miss a few 3D objects if you don't want the other 3 airports . It's not that bad though .
    But if I make a separate object library , then I will have 5 folders in my community folder instead of 4 folders .

    Minh this is the best most accurate airport for MSFS in my opinion. I fly from Pitt Meadows to Qualicum a number of times per year and it's just like flying there in real life. Any chance you'd be interested in doing Pitt Meadows? I can get you all the photos you need and even fly you in if you're local?

    Fantastic scenery and works well with the new Canada World Update. Only potential issue is I get two wind socks right on top of one another in the middle of the field.


    Thanks for the great work!

    I find this issue in a lot of places, actually. Even payware airports.
