INTRODUCTION
The areas of the pack are very close to CYYZ - Toronto Pearson International Airport. Toronto has photogrammetry in MSFS, and Toronto Island CYTZ is a custom airport, but photogrammetry ends outside of Toronto proper, and starts again around Burlington and Hamilton area. Many important Greater Toronto Area VFR landmarks and POI are left to autogen.
I've decided to correct that as much as I can, as well as fix some glaring terrain errors, such as a huge and long weird "aqueduct" type ridge with a Humber river on top.
I'm aiming for making the whole GTA area comfortable for VFR flights and authentic CYYZ approaches and departures, and make local GA flights more enjoyable. So far I've done Oakville downtown and now Missisauga downtown. Meshes optimized and heavily edited, textures color corrected to blend with autogen building.
INSTALLATION
Unzip into Community folder. There are 3 zip files, each corresponds to a major area. They are designed to work together, so install all three. After installation your Community folder should have three new subfolders: /oakville/, /mississauga/ and /toronto/.
