Orjan Polman Posted August 31, 2021 at 08:27 PM Posted August 31, 2021 at 08:27 PM Hello all. I made a booking to fly this event, from EHAM - CYYC. Afterwords I found out that the default airport of CYYC in P3Dv4 is missing RWY 17L/35R. I do have 17R/35L, 11/29 and 08/26. To top it all off, there seems to be no addon scenery available for CYYC in P3Dv4... Would this be a problem, or could I just write in the Remarks section in vPilot: "default CYYC scenery, only RWY 17R/35L"? Do the controllers read these sections, specially during a hectic event? There are some other bookings left, with other DEP/ARR airports, but I was hoping to depart from EHAM ;) Cheers, Orjan.

Orjan Polman Posted August 31, 2021 at 10:45 PM Author Posted August 31, 2021 at 10:45 PM Hi Torben, thanks for your reply. I have seen it, but I assumed it wouldn't work. I will give it a try and see, thanks for the suggestion 🙂 Cheers. Regards Orjan Polman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torben Andersen Posted September 1, 2021 at 07:24 AM Posted September 1, 2021 at 07:24 AM Otherwise I would think local controllers are aware of the situation of lacking runway(s) in the avaiable sceneries. You can however allways remind them on initial contact and request an approbiate/suitable runway for you. But remember holding fuel 🙂 Torben Andersen, VACC-SCA Controller (C1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orjan Polman Posted September 1, 2021 at 07:18 PM Author Posted September 1, 2021 at 07:18 PM That's a good point, I will make sure to tell them. Holding fuel, extra fuel and then some... 😄 I will pack my tanks! Thanks again sir 🙂 Regards Orjan Polman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orjan Polman Posted September 2, 2021 at 04:29 PM Author Posted September 2, 2021 at 04:29 PM Hi Torben. Installed the v3 scenery yesterday and after moving the .BGL files around a bit the second runway was present, including all the gates and terminals! 🙂 Tested with aircraft today and both the PAPI lights and ILS was operative! Great stuff! Thank you very much for giving me the "push" to try it out! 😃 Cheers, Orjan. Regards Orjan Polman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
