NOTE: As an optional feature, you can download Nool's VDGS module to get functional visual docking guidance systems at 33 gates in YVR. I cannot take responsibility for any issues you may encounter with the docking system, as I have not created it, however, I have encountered no issues with performance or stability so far during the testing phase.

Meet Project YVR, a freeware mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator that features a completely custom modelled Vancouver International Airport. It also has new taxiway, runway, and apron textures and lines, corrected gate and parking numbers, correct taxiway names and signage (VATSIM ready), full airport night lighting, and more!
Project YVR is available in an early access state. This means that while the airport is functional, features are missing, like custom modelled buildings, interior modelling, or ground textures, to name a few. These will be implemented in future updates.
Performance was a major consideration when creating Project YVR, including optimization of textures and lighting. However, it is recommended to have a modern 10 series graphics card from NVIDIA or an AMD equivalent, with at least 16GB of RAM, and a modern 4-core processor for the best experience. Project YVR may run on systems below these specs, however, you may encounter performance issues, especially at night, which is heavier on frame rate.
To install Project YVR, unzip the zipped folder that you downloaded from flightsim.to, open the unzipped folder, and copy and paste the folder named 'joelster-airport-cyvr-vancouver' into your community folder. Installation size is approximately 400MB, subject to change with future updates.
Project YVR is made possible by free textures from AmbientCG and is driven by community feedback. If you would like to see a feature or a specific building's modelling priortitized, please add it to #suggestions on my Discord server: discord.gg/Dwtz6eCDNr

Great work! Looks good and the only issue I had was some oddly poor performance on arrival (got about 30-35FPS; for comparison, I departed from the WF Scenery VHHH where I get ~45-50) though the poor weather conditions may have played a part. Integrating the Nool VDGS is awesome, worked flawlessly!

Thanks! A note about performance, with WU11 the performance was significantly reduced in Vancouver due to the new photogrammetry, which I ended up removing since the old one doesn't have the same performance issues. However, it could also be due to the terminal lighting I am using, which I may try to improve in the future!

Looks great. Hope to see more ground clutter and detail.

I have just downloaded this and I'd love to give it 5 stars but i downloaded this on a guest account. Everything about this mod is amazing. Can you tell me the difference between the main file and the GSX mod compatible file?
1 years ago
Thanks! The GSX compatible file removes elements like VDGS to allow users with GSX Pro to use their built-in VDGS, included in the GSX profile in the description. The main package supports Nool's VDGS, which is a free download in the mod description.

Great add. I have no issues with performance. Only issue is your 26R and L ILS frequencies are reversed. 26L should be 110.7 and 26R should be 111.95. It caught me by surprise on my descent.

I have had similar issues with ILS approaches to CYVR. I have also noticed that runways 13 and 31 seem to be reversed. I had thought it was an issue with MSFS but if it is an issue with this great airport scenery will it be fixed. Thanks for the Vancouver airport I've pretty much made CYVR my home base in Canada.

Great Add-on!, found it a bit heavy on frames but nothing unplayable! other than that I love it, ground textures and all looks great
