Note. The lift locks will overlap with WU11. In addition, since this update there are unremoveable tree/vegetation elements that are growing out of scenery I developed for this airport. Therefore, unfortunately I will not be releasing the new update without the locks until this problem can be addressed.
There are some places that surprise even me, who has travelled from one Canadian Coast to the other; and I found it doing this airport. The Peterborough Lift Lock, is part of the Trent Severnal Waterway system. The lock was, until recently, the highest lift lock in the world, which hydrolically lifts the boats up 85ft to join the rest of the canal. It was a real engineering feet when it was built back in 1896. Fly north of the airport to the city of Peterborough and you can't miss it.
What's going on at Peterborough Airport? Well, Seneca College, Peterborough Campus is a wonderful school of aviation.

It is a beautiful building and I wish I could have added more detail, however the file was getting very large. Flying Colours has three large hangars with two more under construction. If you need your corporate or private jet customized, give them a call. At the other end of the airport is Loomex who are busy these days managing Peterborough and several others including Kawartha Lakes. They run regular fire safety exercises to keep everyone current. A good company indeed.
Peterborough is a super place to fuel up and continue on to Kingston or Kawartha Lakes and Simcoe.
It is by far my largest project, so in lieu of buying me a coffee, I hope you wil consider helping out these two fantastic Canadian flying groups that help others in need.
HopeAir -- helps those who need medical operations and cannot afford to get there. They could reallly use a few dollars to keep flying.

Recently the lower mainland of British Columbia experienced horrendous floods and landslides. A couragouse group of private pilots pooled their resources to get emergency supplies in and people and animals out. Much was lost but much was saved due to their immediate and daring rescues. They continue to this day helping, but fuel costs a great deal these days. If you can buy them a few gallons it would be great. Thanks

@ MazerMart,
Don't forget to update the version number in the manifest.json file.
Here it shows version number 1.1, but shows 0.1.0 in the manifest.

Excited about this airport since I just got CYQA which is made for SU9. Will this be SU9 compatible as well ? 😊

Thanks.. I am struggling a bit because most of the airports done including Peterborough were done on a different computer (old one) that no longer has enough room for FS. So for example the lift lock will no longer be animated until I update all the textures and reload it into the game. I will download an update but the there will be no animation for now.
Not sure why they can't make the updates backward compatible.
Cheers

What a wonderful piece of work, thanks for your obvious and considerable efforts, and sharing this with us. Numerous details, tastefully accomplished and the lock is magnificent. Also special thanks for including open hangars; wish every airport developer would.

Thank you for the very possitive comments and 5 star rating. It's one of the main reasons that I share.
I like starting out from inside a hangar and so I ususally put a few into a scene. I also enjoy sharing a few points of interest in an area such as the lift lock or light houses(Cape Cod) or bridges and so on. It makes visiting the area interesting.
Have a safe holiday.
