Expert Overview

Enhance your MSFS 2020 adventures with the Greater Sudbury Airport (CYSB) mod, which artfully showcases Northern Ontario’s industrial heritage. Having flown many simulated hours here myself, I’ve seen how its custom hangars, realistic terminal, and immersive interior parking starts create an authentic setting—from the animated doors to the meticulously placed vegetation and perimeter fencing.

In version 2.1, the addition of iconic regional landmarks, such as the Big Nickel and towering smokestacks, further anchors you in the heart of Sudbury’s landscape. Ground markings, beacon adjustments, and careful attention to detail deepen navigational realism, while the airport’s role along the TransCanada Highway truly underscores its importance for regional travel. This robust add-on is a must-have for anyone seeking a more dynamic route into the Canadian Shield.

This mod was installed, tested and reviewed by Adam McEnroe for Fly Away Simulation. Adam is an FS mod expert. Read his bio here.

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.
Interior Parking Starts: Unique to versions 2 and 2.1, Hangars 11 and 12 offer parking starts from within, adding an immersive element to your pre-flight preparations.
Dynamic Environment: Animated hangar doors and adjusted parking spots enhance operational realism, complemented by the addition of vegetation and perimeter fences.
Visual Upgrades: Improved ground markings and beacon adjustments ensure a more authentic navigational experience from approach to departure.

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

The MSFS Greater Sudbury Airport scenery is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Installation is straightforward, though due to the comprehensive nature of the scenery files, a patient download is recommended to ensure all textures and elements are properly implemented.

Simply extract the archive and copy the airport-cysb-sudbury folder into your MSFS Community folder.

Developer’s Note

This scenery version has evolved to 2.1, with each update bringing refined details and fixes to enhance your flight simulation experience. Regular patches and extensions have focused on both aesthetic and functional aspects of the airport to provide an ever-improving virtual representation.s
