Scenery for CYYQ Churchill Airport in Northern Manitoba, Canada. Churchill is located on the shore of Hudson Bay and has been a trading hub for centuries. It possesses a deep-water port and is the terminal station of the Hudson Bay Railway. The airport has regular service by Calm Air and Canadian North. Tourism (polar bear and bird watching, as well as observing aurora borealis) is nowadays a major economic factor.
The scenery includes many custom models with PBR materials and night lighting. It also contains several landmarks around Churchill: the polar bear holding facility next to the airport, as well as Prince of Wales Fort and Cape Merry battery near the mouth of Churchill River. Approach lights have been updated according to Nav Canada information.
New in version 2.0: Miss Piggy wreck, a Curtiss C-46 that crash-landed 40 years ago on the approach to runway 15; animated Canadian flag near terminal building; polar bears at the shore oh Hudson Bay, not very far from Miss Piggy; a small correction to the overall airport elevation.
To install, simply move the content of the zip file to your community folder in MSFS.
If you are a real-life pilot and have photos of destinations in Northern Manitoba and Ontario, I'd love to hear from you. Having access to more photos of airports there would help me to create more realistic sceneries.

I'm up there on the train a couple times a month. Do you have the store with milk for 1000 dollars ?

Looks great

I never visited Churchill, although I really would like to :) If you send me a picture of the store (and of the price tag, that sounds really scary) I can add it to CYYQ :)

It has the polar bear jail? Sold!
But seriously I've been hoping for a Churchill scenery for a while, so this is awesome news.
