CYYC is my international airport and the default one is horrible so I was just curious if any third-Party Developer’s announced or Plan on making it?
Yeah, Fsimstudios is at it:
5. CALGARY CYYC. The project is now officially scheduled for end of Q2 or Q3, 2021. It is progressing fast, however, the focus is now on those projects releasing soon and it is not feasible to release it sooner than that due to the magnitude of the airport.
Thank you, I plan on getting it then.
Any updates on this one?
I am looking forward to it. This developer will make it available through the marketplace, so we XBOX people can have a crack at it too.
If you’re on Facebook, cool video update.
Some more teasers!
Update;
Time for an update…
First of all, just want to say thank you all for the support and feedback we’ve gotten during the past few years. Some of you may know, but we have been doing this as a part-time hobby for the past few years - Fred is a teacher, Ryan is getting started in the airline industry and I (Gabriel) have been working towards an engineering degree + doing technical work in engineering. The Flight Simulator community has grown massively in the past one or two years, and this combined with strategic partnerships, has allowed us to grow the business to allow one of us to transition to Full Time flight sim development. Today was the day: I became a full-time flight sim dev.
Now onto the announcements…
CALGARY CYYC - FOR MSFS:
We are at a point where I’m comfortable and confident saying that we are one month - perhaps a little less - away from release. Plus/minus a week for testing, optimizing, and such. The terminal is mostly done, ground poly is mostly done, really just a matter of putting it all together, finishing touches and we are good to go. As we approach the release date, we will begin releasing new screenshots, teasers and the trailer video.
WINNIPEG CYWG - FOR MSFS
As soon as Calgary is completed, we will put all our resources into Winnipeg. 3D modeling for Winnipeg is currently about 70% completed, and we are targeting a release in early summer.
CALGARY CYYC - FOR P3D
No timelines at this time. We are prioritizing MSFS above any P3D project due to obvious reasons.
PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT: HOUSTON HOBBY AIRPORT, DEVELOPED BY TEXAN SIMULATIONS AND DISTRIBUTED BY FSIMSTUDIOS
For the past few months, we have been supporting the talented dev team at Texan Simulations with dev resources and distribution for their first commercial product: Houston Hobby KHOU. As you may know, the FSExpo is happening very close to KHOU this year - and for that very reason, having KHOU is a must in the sim. KHOU is being developed at an excellent quality standard and will be released within the next month through all FSimStudios distribution channels.
Summer and Beyond: Already discussed it a few times on the Discord channel, but we are planning a Vancouver V2 and Halifax V2. We have a few other projects in the “early research” stages, but no concrete roadmap yet.
Apparently we are a few weeks away!
C’mon whats the hold up? This thing is looking great!
According to their discord it will lauch this week.
oh really? Thanks for the info!
Calgary released today!!!
Yep It’s out.
Day 1 purchase for me
I wonder how the performance is…is it any good on FPS
So far looks pretty good FPS wise, I flew around the terminal in the PC21 (and went for a “walk” inside) and my FPS seemed very stable.
Performance is very good on my system when compared to other airports that size. It’s smooth, no complaints at all!
Now if only Asobo could finally put decent quality aerial imagery into MSFS for Calgary. It’s awful and urgently needs an update. FSimStudios have used some beautiful aerial imagery for the airport, natural colours and very crisp. So now the bad quality Asobo stuff really stands out unfortunately.
But the airport is superb, FSS’ best work yet, highly recommended!
Definitely worth picking up…i was using Simaddons version before this one which wasnt bad, but this version is more accurate and includes buildings around the airport and some of downtown which is nice!
Was also using SimAddons which I think was ported over from FSX.
Have been waiting for this release. Got home from working away and opened up Contrail and there she was!
