NOTE: As an optional feature, you can download Nool's VDGS module to get functional visual docking guidance systems at 33 gates in YVR. I cannot take responsibility for any issues you may encounter with the docking system, as I have not created it, however, I have encountered no issues with performance or stability so far during the testing phase.

Meet Project YVR, a freeware mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator that features a completely custom modelled Vancouver International Airport. It also has new taxiway, runway, and apron textures and lines, corrected gate and parking numbers, correct taxiway names and signage (VATSIM ready), full airport night lighting, and more!
Project YVR is available in an early access state. This means that while the airport is functional, features are missing, like custom modelled buildings, interior modelling, or ground textures, to name a few. These will be implemented in future updates.
Performance was a major consideration when creating Project YVR, including optimization of textures and lighting. However, it is recommended to have a modern 10 series graphics card from NVIDIA or an AMD equivalent, with at least 16GB of RAM, and a modern 4-core processor for the best experience. Project YVR may run on systems below these specs, however, you may encounter performance issues, especially at night, which is heavier on frame rate.
To install Project YVR, unzip the zipped folder that you downloaded from flightsim.to, open the unzipped folder, and copy and paste the folder named 'joelster-airport-cyvr-vancouver' into your community folder. Installation size is approximately 400MB, subject to change with future updates.
Project YVR is made possible by free textures from AmbientCG and is driven by community feedback. If you would like to see a feature or a specific building's modelling priortitized, please add it to #suggestions on my Discord server: discord.gg/Dwtz6eCDNr

Great work! Looks good and the only issue I had was some oddly poor performance on arrival (got about 30-35FPS; for comparison, I departed from the WF Scenery VHHH where I get ~45-50) though the poor weather conditions may have played a part. Integrating the Nool VDGS is awesome, worked flawlessly!

Thanks! A note about performance, with WU11 the performance was significantly reduced in Vancouver due to the new photogrammetry, which I ended up removing since the old one doesn't have the same performance issues. However, it could also be due to the terminal lighting I am using, which I may try to improve in the future!

Looks great. Hope to see more ground clutter and detail.
