All the buildings are custombuild models .
Thanks Ken Peters For some of the photos of the airport he's used to build the airport for FS9 and FSX .
For installation , just unrar , copy and paste the CYCD-Nanaimo airport folder into community folder where MSFS 2020 is install .
Hope you enjoy the scenery as I do .

Very nice airport Scenery! thank you very much!
Would you mayby be able to add the published hazard Beacons for the RW34 approach to the scenery?
You can see them here (from Navigpraph charts)

This airport is awesome! Any possibility of also including Nanaimo harbour airport and water runway, where the Harbour Air seaplanes take off and land at?

You have created a beautiful addition to our sim. Thank you very much.
Most of our pilots that fly to Nanaimo would also fly into Victoria - CYYJ. That airport really needs some serious TLC! Please consider Victoria as a future project.

Roman Design is working on CYYJ, albeit, it will be a payware airport. But Roman Design's work is top notch, he did Ottawa International Airport, Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport, and more payware Canadian airports for MSFS.
If you live in Victoria, Roman Design is looking for some photos to do CYYJ and also the seaplane terminals/docks in Victoria. Feel free to help him out. You can see his post at https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/621165-what-canadian-airport-should-i-do-next/?do=findComment&comment=4805553 (you can make an Avsim account and contact him).

This is amazing! Any chance to do CAC8 at the Nanaimo waterfront?
tankjohnson 6 month(s) ago
Yes, I second this! I hope @minhbui can add the seaplane terminals for Nainaimo, in this add-on in a future update 😊

I don't have time to do that now , unfortunately !
I live in Alberta and often fly out of Calgary airport with A320 . And I spend my time to enhance it . It's a large airport and will take a long time .

Way too many static aircraft. Particularly in the Vital Aviation and FedEx ramps, there's nowhere to park at the end of a flight. I tried messaging the creator with no reply...

I'm having issues downloading this file. I have downloaded it before and it worked great, but I had to reinstall MSFS and now the file does not download completely and cannot be opened. Other files work...?
Westcoaster 1 year(s) ago
I just tested the download and it's working fine. If the download wasn't going to completion that would be a server issue, not the fault of the scenery. Your download issues are a very poor reason to give this excellent scenery two stars.

Thank you Westcoaster !

Great airport, which I fly to very often. But just realized that the main building and some other parts are floating some feet over the ground.

Fantastic airport. Nanaimo is a city I travel to often so this, with your downtown Nanaimo scenery, is wonderful!
If you decide to revisit Vancouver Island, Victoria could really do with some sprucing up. The city in particular. 😊
Ibexto 10 month(s) ago
And the entire highway up to Nanaimo, would be great to Mill Bay, Duncan, and Ladysmith with photogrammatry….
quelcertoleo
excellent scenario, love all the details, feels much alive. Bravo!

Vancouver to this airport will be an awesome flight. Thanks.

It is…. Used to fly the Majestic Dash 8 in FSX on the CYVR-CYCD Jazz route all the time. 15-20 airtime, perfect for quick hop…
