Vancouver Island, also referred to as Tofino to Victoria, is a Bush Trip in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020). This bush trip is flown in the JMB VL-3 and consists of 5 legs over a distance of 444 nm with an estimated cruise time of 3 hours and 39 minutes.
| “ | Vancouver Island, hailed as one of Canada’s most geographically diverse and beautiful regions, is located in southwestern British Columbia, part of the greater Pacific Rim. The island borders the Pacific Ocean on its western periphery and it is separated from mainland North America by a series of straits on its northeast, east, and south. The island, 283 miles long by 100 miles at its widest, comprises an incredibly varied spectrum of landscapes, including coastal fjords, mountains, dense forests, and urban patchworks. Home to British Columbia’s capital, Victoria, Vancouver Island has Canada’s most temperate climate due to the Pacific’s influence, with many areas rarely experiencing freezing temperatures. This bush trip explores all that Vancouver Island has to offer, taking in its coasts, high mountains, small towns, and the city vistas of Victoria. Beginning at Tofino-Long Beach Airport, located on the island’s central western coastline, the route heads north, visiting lakes, rivers, small towns, coastal forms, and mountains along the way. The journey then heads down the eastern margin of Vancouver Island, flying along the Strait of Georgia, and then ends at Victoria. |
