Wabush is intrinsically linked with Sept-Iles by air, and after going through and correcting CYZV, it made sense to me to try and make CYWK a little easier to recognize. Wabush also serves the nearby Labrador City.
I've never actually been here, so I've gone by satelite imagery, charts, photos and even videos to try and get things right. The stock airport isn't anywhere close to being properly functional. My goal is to bring the airport as close to published specs as possible, without using custom 3D models. Here is a list of things that I have corrected:
- Corrected windsock placement
- Corrected approach lighting from both ends of the runway
- Corrected taxiway lighting and signage
- Added apron lighting
- Added PAPI lighting to RW18
- Added missing buildings
- Corrected airport roads and parking lots
- Corrected all painted lines
- Added ILS and VOR antenna models
- Custom runway markings should match 1:1
I was unable to find any parking procedures that would indicate maximum wingspans or weight limits for each ramp, so I have used standard sizes that should auto-populate with the appropriately sized craft. I still have lots of detail and "life" to add, but I need to do a little more digging for reference material. If anything looks out of place, let me know :)

I discovered Flight Simming this year. I have been on sick leave for the last year while I treat my severe PTSD, and the freedom to soar anywhere in MSFS has brought me a lot of comfort in moments of distress. I am happy to share what I have made in hopes that it can bring the same feeling of "home" to you. If you feel like leaving me a tip, please feel free as I am on a limited income, and any spare change is greatly appreciated! PayPal.Me BuyMeAVGAS
