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

UPDATE : Version 1.3.0 ( Oct 5th 2023)

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.

This is really nice! CYCD - Nanaimo Waterfront - CAT4... Wonderful flight!
I do notice that the Vancouver Island mesh addon has left CAT4 very bumpy..
Edit: I have just installed the RTMM flatten fix, and it does the job!

I can confirm. Scenery is cool, but runway and aprons are rollercoasterish with the VC Island mesh addon...

Minh, Can you please certify compatibility with SU5? This package it too good to lose.

Is there anything wrong with the airport on your computer ? If not , then it's compatible . I don't know why flightsim.to still asks if it's compatible with SU5 ? If something is not compatible , tons of people will just eventually comment that it's broken after the update for sure . So far I don't see anyone in here says that the airport is not working .
