Key Features

• Enhanced Airport Details: The airport features intricately designed custom hangars and a realistic terminal building, meticulously modeled to reflect their real-world counterparts.

Scenery Highlights

The add-on pays special homage to Sudbury’s iconic landmarks such as the "Big Nickel" and the towering smokestacks of the Inco nickel refining company. These features are not only pivotal to the region's identity but also serve as key visual cues within the simulated flight environment.

Greater Sudbury Airport, a pivotal axis for regional travel, supports several airlines, including Bearskin Airlines. Its strategic location several hours north of Toronto along the TransCanada Highway positions it as a crucial gateway for accessing the Canadian Shield and the northern expanse.

Compatibility and Installation
