That's for the positive feedback and the video! Its always cool to see scenery from some else's perspective.
Just fyi My kananaskis scenery is currently offline while a replace it with something more up to date.
And I do have a spring bank update, but it really only changes the buildings so they don't look like European hotels so I have not put it out lol

v. 3.2 also works well (even without the WU Canada update ). The only issue this time is that Johnson Lake, Cascade Pond and Bankhead Ghost Town 1903 POI's are hanging high in the air.

Hi Misfit79
I greatly enjoyed your previous versions.
However with 3.1 I get a white/light grey checkerboard runway at CYBA.
I have installed WU Canada, SU12, all dependences, have no other Banff or CYBA scenery and have installed a 2nd downlaod.
There seem some grass ground textures missing.
On my MSFS scenery/flight plan screen the AP centre is way off the rwy.
Am I the only one with these effects or what can be wrong with my setup?

The is a new error as far as I know. Can you take some screen shots and dm me? I will look at it asap

I do not have the WU Canada update installed, and so, after removing previous version completely, I installed current version 3.1. I tested the helipad with the GotFriends Mini 500E. Starting and landing there and on the Banff Mineral Springs Helipad works just fine. Starting and landing with an convential plane also works fine. The scenery looks ok, no crazy elevations, no "sinking" POI's or whatever. Only thing is, that the med heli seems to be hanging about a few feet above ground. But, one has to look carefully to notice that.
I think v. 3.1 works well, even for people without the WU Canada update installed.

Great information! Thank you. Any chance you could get a screenshot of the floating helicopter? Maybe I can make I happy medium.

Hi, thanks for the great Canadian content. I do not seem to have Banff-Minnewanka-Misfit or Banff-Townarea-Misfit where they ever under a different name. I have 'banff-East-misfit' and 'banff-town-misfit' Should these be deleted or are part of another of your mods? Thanks.
1 years ago
ah yeah, delete anything that has banff or CYBA
you may still have an older version.
the new version gets rid of all the confusion. One folder, no choices lol. and it saves 800mb.
if someone needs to customize, they can contact me.

Thank you for all your work on these sceneries. I too am a fellow Albertan and truly enjoy flying low and slow in these areas. I especially enjoy the trip from Jasper to Banff - lots of great sites to see!

I have never downloaded the Canada WU and previous version was working good. Nontheless, I downloaded your most recent update, because of the heliport. I am happy to inform you, that everything is working fine. The only issue is that the POI Minerals Heliport and POI Ghost Town are sinking into the ground, when you get closer to them and rise again, when you get away from them. All other POI's are fine.

Oh that's good to know! I will fix the poi signs in the next update. Thanks!

Hi, I just did a quick check on CYBA Banff and everything looks ok. The only glitch I saw was one of the train cars on the bridge seemed to be having a fit. Thank you for taking the time to update the scenery.

Hi, misfit79 we did a group flight last week from vancouver to springbank,ab with "flightwithjoel" when we arrived in jasper, in the dark, most didnt have your jasper addon so no runway lights etc.. but everyone landed... it was a 500nm+ flight total, we ended the flight in jasper, wasnt sure if we would continue the flight in the future so asked joel(FWJ) to look at your jasper/banff package from you, and hopefully continue the journey....
FWJ checked it out and said yeah lets carry on from jasper to springbank,ab..., well jasper area was a hit but banff area you really blew everyone away with the details, as a alberta resident you really did this well...lol we never made it to springbank as so much to see in banff... just wanted to say what a amazing scenery you did for this area... hopefully more to see from you.. cheers

Thanks! That's awesome to hear, especially from a fellow Albertan! Glad I could help on your adventure. I took some liberties for jasper, since its basically unflyable 7 months a year and 12 hours a day.

Indeed, the scenery and airport is nicely done, but after the last Hotfix this airport is no longer working. The Simulator just doesn't know it. I flew over to check what's really loaded - the scenery, the animals and the planes are still there, but the airport gras strip is no longer smooth, some planes and huts are popping into ground. Does this airport need an update? For me it looks like...
