FSX / P3D scenery

FSX British Columbia Float Bases Scenery

British Columbia’s coastal float bases come to life with a wide-ranging set of water aerodromes placed using default scenery objects and real-world references, ideal for seaplane routes from Vancouver Harbour to remote inlets and islands. Built for FSX, it requires Ultimate Terrain Canada and benefits from SRTM mesh in inland Fraser River areas.

This is a collection of coastal British Columbia float bases made with default objects using Google Earth and the Canada Waterdrome Supplement. These sceneries are made to complement the work of other sceneries such as Sidney Schwartz's CYYJ, Ganges Harbour and BCPNW float bases. You must have Ultimate Terrain Canada for these sceneries to work and in inland areas (Fraser River) a SRTM mesh for the correct elevations. By Chris Peschke.

These sceneries were built using FSX default objects and are representative based on google earth and the Canada Water Aerodrome Supplement. They are designed to complement freeware sceneries built by others, notably Sidney Shwartz's CYYJ Victoria, Ganges Harbour and the BCPNW freeware scenery.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.

  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    Hi, I downloaded BC float base scenery. When I look in the add on scenery file through the computer I see it is there but when I go to add it through FSX settings, then add scenery, it is nowwhere to be found. What am I doing wrong? I have FSX and ultimate terrain canada but can't figure out how to get the floatplane bases installed
