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.

Regards

Have you tried to see if the P3Dv3 scenery for CYYC works? You can find it at Flightsim.com

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.

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 🙂

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 🙂

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.
